MASTERING THE “MASTER”

Our house was built in the 70’s. I don’t know, but I guess having a nice spacious bathroom back then didn’t seem to matter. It measures 4ft. x 5ft. with a 3ft. x 3ft. shower. Both of my daughter’s master bathrooms are bigger than my bedroom. Of course they have nice new homes.
Anyway, we moved into our house 18 years ago and with 7 kids, you don’t do a lot of renovating when all you are worrying about is feeding and clothing them.
The time has come and gone for some major renovation and during the last couple of years I have been working on it bit by bit. I’ve done my Living Room, Kitchen, Dining Room, Front Bathroom and now my Teeny, Tiny Master Bathroom.
Of course I needed a little help so I called over 1/2 of the matched set and put him to work…

We had nasty cold tile on the floor that I hated so my little plumber and his crack helped me pull it up…

I worked him hard…

At this point he stops and says to me, “Gwams, can we take a bwake? My back hurts!” (His Mom has been having back problems lately)…
So we stop for Popsicles and Ding Dongs and then carry on…

All done…

Now let me back up. I forgot to take before pictures as usual but here is the old vanity we took out…

It’s on it’s way to the basement bathroom because even if it is ugly it is way better than the one down there and basement dwellers who live for free really don’t care.
Here is the old mirror…

It’s going to the dump! (So I can exchange it for something way more fun!)
I put in a new window…
