Plaid Bathroom Remodel Reveal & Budget Breakdown
It’s done! I could not be more happy and proud of how this bathroom remodel came out! The main question I got on my stories when I shared that I was re-doing this bathroom that I had just done 3 years prior was…. but WHY?!
But why do a Bathroom Remodel?
So this guest bathroom was one of the first rooms I did in my house. I was still very much trying to find my style and it didn’t flow with any other room in my house. So…I changed it!
But it’s so pretty!
I agree! It was so pretty! I wasn’t going to share what I’m about to share because to be honest, I’m super embarrassed. But I want you to know that not every DIY goes as planned. And sometimes you have to eat your pride for the greater good. I tiled this shower as part of the One Room Challenge (you redo a whole room in 6 weeks so I felt pressured on a time crunch). It was the 6th tile I’ve tiled. And the one I’m least proud of. The walls weren’t plumb (level) when I started and I didn’t realize until it was too late.
Learning with Ya’ll
So yes… the tile was 3 years old, yes it looked brand new, and yes I teared it all out because at the time I didn’t have the heart, energy, or money to redo it then. There’s an inner battle for me being a “professional DIYer” on here and showing you how its done, and me showing you that I’m human. And I too make mistakes and I’m learning right with ya’ll.
The Before:
Here is what the bathroom remodel looked like before.
The After:
Here is the bathroom remodel after!
This room on the blueprints of my home was actually part of our utility room, just a useless little hallway to nothing, but my dad who is a plumber came up and moved drains and chipped concrete for a week to get it so we could have another toilet and shower downstairs.
Tearing everything out was very frustrating but I know it was the right choice. I wanted to feel proud of this space, and want to show it off to others. Not hide it away like I did for the last 3 years.
