i've always hated the bathroom in my little house, and it recently dawned on me that this month would be the ideal time to completely gut the little space and start over. it would be impossible to renovate it while the house was occupied since i only have one tiny bathroom in my house, but this month the house can be empty.
to say my bathroom is about 5' x 6' would be a generous description. it's tiny. and the weirdo who worked on my house before i bought it actually thought it wise to build a wall into the middle of the space (that's it above, after a little demolition), partially obscuring the (small) window. genius!
so, after a little convincing, last weekend, my dad came out to help me clear out the existing (so small it was practically a joke) tub, super cheap looking vanity, that infamous wall and all the supremely ugly tile. now the room's a rather refreshing clean slate (well, maybe not so much clean as empty) and the fun part is here - selecting the new finishes and hardware!
which leads me to the inspiration for this post, really (my goal wasn't simply to tell you about the work my dad and i did saturday) - googling for "small bathroom" inspiration or design ideas? totally amusing. i can't actually figure out what these people would consider a "normal size" or "large" bathroom. so, enjoy some of the "small bathroom" photos below, and take a minute to think about these underprivileged homeowners that have to deal with these unfortunately tiny washrooms. awwww.
(this one might actually be bigger than my eat-in kitchen)
(hello, gorgeous bathroom which is easily twice the size of my bathroom.)
(who hangs decorative plates in their bathroom. kitchen or dining room? sure. bathroom? odd.)
i can't wait to show you what i decide!
