Bathroom Reno, Part 2

After another week, the bathroom reno was essentially done....for now. There are things we are putting off until later, but at least for now we are seriously upgraded and more importantly, functional!

Our reno guy finished off the shower, put down new flooring in the bathroom, laundry room and closet, and hooked up the new vanity in a new location. We actually have a fan in the washroom now, and some more lighting. A mirror/medicine cabinet and lighting sconces will follow shortly. Unfortunately, he had some trouble reinstalling our troublesome toilet, which kept him here late on Friday night.

While we had plumbers and electricians here, we remedied a few other issues we have been living with for 17 years. The kitchen sink now drains properly, the dishwasher has new hose and it's own circuit, and the washing machine plumbing is also new and now recessed into the wall. The air supply is now properly vented and the updated vent pipe is more durable and won't allow birds to nest in it!

Since these pictures, we have re-painted the affected areas, including a grey feature wall behind the new vanity. Now to move everything in the dining room back to where it belongs....

Eventually we may do glass doors to the shower, but for now we're loving the sudden back-lighting on our old shower curtain.

And we added a cat door to the litter closet!
