Bathroom Break

I hope everyone has had a better week than me.Well, it's been okay and it WILL be good - very good! My bathroom has been under renovations to give me a new accessible one. Last week it was completely gutted - vanity, sink, toilet, bathtub - all gone! The floor was jack hammered and wood was added to the walls to support the new sink and grab bars  then new drywall was added. Did I mention the dust? Oh boy - my condo had a layer of dust over EVERYTHING! For such a small bathroom it sure made a mess of my place.  There was even dust when I opened my dresser drawer. I woke up with my face feeling gritty - it was dust off my pillow and duvet - crazy!
So with demolition done, a new roll-in shower in place, new flooring and a fancy toilet (with a bidet seat) I have been promised that the worst is over and there will be no more dust. THANK YOU! So my cleaning lady spent four hours today cleaning every little thing, scrubbing floors and washing linen.
Tomorrow the painting begins.
Meanwhile, here  are some before pics and the progress that has been made so far.
Oh - and scrapbooking? Well once again, everything has ended up in my scraproom - lotions, shampoos, towels, tp, ladders, tools, drywall supplies, paint, baseboards...

This was my bathroom before




                                                      This was after demolition




                                                 This is with the new roll-in shower


                                                This is my new AWESOME bidet toilet
                                         - it even comes with a remote control - a toilet!!!!! 



                                                 And this is my new awesome floor!
                                  It's little hexagon shaped marble tiles in shades of white and grey.
                                           The tile guy was cursing me but I absolutely love it!

So that's where we are for now. At least I have a shower and toilet. No more running down the hall to use the guest suite! I'll keep you updated and not only will I have a nice new accessible bathroom once done but also I will have my scraproom back so I can get down to more important business.
Have a great week!
