House Tour- Bathrooms

Bathroom day on the House tour.

I am going to start out saying, our bathrooms are small and humble.  Just big enough to function, but really for only one person at a time.  No extra room for, well, extras.  With all that said....on to the Johns.

Our house has 2 1/2 baths. The 2 full baths are upstairs on the bedroom floor and the half bath is on the main living floor.  In general it is the half bath that gets the most use.  It is also the most finished of out bathrooms.  Keep in mind this space is 4'X4', making picture taking tricky.

Highlights for me are the shelf, which adds a bit of warmth to the room.  The large basket of TP, as there is no other storage in the room and the faux board and batten wall treatment.

Instead of a traditional towel bar or ring, I have chosen a simple hook, in hopes the ease of use will encourage my kids to actually hang the towel back up, but that hasn't happened yet.

Here is a better look at the faux treatment.  I love the texture it adds.

Anyways, it is a simple basic windowless bathroom.

The Master bathroom, again is small, yet functional.  I have given it some attention, but it is on my mind, and I want to do more.  However, what it really needs is a new floor, and I am uncomfortable with having to deal with the toilet and sink on my own (but more on that later).

 

The walls are covered in a press tin wall paper pattern that has been painted a very pale shade of pink.

You may detect a theme here... I love rocks and you will find them all over in my house.  The stacked rocks I collected on our summer vacation in Washington State.

Now on to the big problem in this room, the issue that prevents me from really "doing" the room.  The floor.

As you can see here, the press and stick tile job is horrible.  I joke that it was a "drunk" DIY night.  I joke, because we inherited the floor.  I really don't know the story behind the installation.  You might suggest covering up the unsightly seams with a rug.  Ah I thought of that, but there is no room under the door....

because there are 3 layers of flooring.

It is a job I really would like to tackle, but as I suggested, it is out of my current comfort zone, so I will be waiting a little bit longer.

The 3rd bathroom, is the kids and guest bath upstairs.  This is also on my list.  It is actually pretty high on my list.  I know what I want to do, but just don't have the time.  I hate when that is the case.

So, I will show you what it looks like, but remember, this is not at all completed....

It is even sporting a big hole that needs to be finished out.

I would like to tell you the room will be done soon, but looking at my schedule, I won't be able to start work on it until August.

So there you have it.  My bathrooms.  Small, yet functional.  One finished and 2 still needing work, but if everything was finished how would I keep myself busy?
