So anyhow, today was the day that began the move back into our bedroom. A little background however may be in order. You see we once had this little Master Bathroom off the bedroom that was well, disgusting and not one I was about to call mine since it was all Pink! The idea was simple, gut it and rebuild it. That was what we thought.

The original design from the contractor also confirmed our biggest fear. We would not be able to squeeze any more room from the space. That was quite disappointing so we decided to move ahead with it anyhow. That was when things in that bathroom began to get very ugly. During the gutting process, it was discovered that there was a leak under the tub that happened to be rotting out the one of the beams supporting the bathroom. That meant going into the family room on the 1st floor and completely ripping out the ceiling and replacing the beams that were bad.

This was getting oh so messy and with that little fiasco the budget was already blown. So having reached a point of knowing extra money would have to be spent, literally over breakfast one morning the decision was made to completely take over my son's room which is next to ours and make that the new Master Bathroom. The old space would then become a simple walk in closet. UREKA! After all, what does a 9 month old need with his own Shower/Toilet/Sink? The plumbing was in his room, why not take it over. A true parental decision in action. He was out and in with his sister and we were in.

With that decision the course had been shifted and the serious deconstruction work began. There have not really been any more major issues with the Job and now that the bulk of it is done, we officially begin moving back in today. Here are some of the snapshots of the latest project to turn 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms into an amazing Master Bedroom Suite.

These are the revised Floor Plan Drawings indicating the new Bathroom design. Only one minor change which was the flip of the Tub and the Sinks.

Up next is the Before and After of the bedroom leading into the old pink bathroom, notice the old closet is now gone. As well as a couple before and after shots of that as well.

As I mentioned, my son's bedroom had it's own small shower/sink/toilet. The plumging was needed but nothing else stayed. Even the right side of the before shot was a hallway closet that was sacrificed for the new MASSIVE shower.

The entrance from the hallway into my son's room was closed off an a new entrance/doorway into the new Master Suite bathroom was built. The nice thing was that another door was also punched through the wall as we only used 1/2 of my son's room which left the other half a potential home office off of the Master Bedroom Suite. That thought to come later. Here are some of the final shots of the bathroom in terms of before/after.

AND MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS BATHROOM!!!!
