One Home Made

I know what you’re thinking, where on earth have I been and what does the final kitchen look like?! Well, I can promise that the house hasn’t been in as much of a standstill as my blogging. In fact, the blog has been on hiatus because we’ve been working on so many different parts of the house (not just the kitchen). We’ve seriously been running around like fools making final decisions and purchases, all in a push to get the house to a point where we can move in and then focus on loose ends…like the kitchen backsplash, for example. For now we’re going to settle for a merely functional kitchen!

I know, I know, all those posts about the kitchen renovation and now you have to wait even longer for the final product? Yes, and I apologize. Pavlo and I have just found it makes more sense to get into the house and get all the rest of our belongings out of storage. We’d rather spend more money on the house then on a storage unit!

Anyways, now that the kitchen is actually functional we’re moving on to another room that’s very necessary for livability, especially for someone like myself who won’t even camp and reluctantly uses public restrooms! Yup, we’re starting the renovation of one of the house’s bathrooms! For several reasons we’ve chosen to renovate the middle bathroom first. This is the bathroom that our kids, as well as any guests that stay over night, will use.

Here is what the bathroom looked like when we first purchased the house:

Then it went through a complete demolition:

And now we’re in the process of rebuilding with the addition of the brand new tub & insulation:

New sub flooring:

New cement board on the floors and shower walls:

and finally, new drywall (green board because it’s mold resistant):

I’m also working on a mood board to show you our thoughts on how to finish out this bathroom so stay tuned for that!
