Open Bathroom Policy
Friday I decided leaving this crazy “bathtub wall” sticking out where I want my Christmas tree was not going to cut it.
So yesterday I tore out the studs.
And today a plumber came in and removed the tub and capped everything off properly.
There’s no going back now!
It’s fun using the toilet like this!
If we have guests over before I get it closed up, I’ll just tell them we have an “Open Bathroom Policy”.
Bwahahaha!
Glad to see that tub gone! Any idea what you are going to do with the extra space in the bathroom after you frame in the wall to your liking? It could be a nice little area for a pretty old looking shelf/bookcase for pretty display stuff! Not too busy of course.
I haven’t decided yet. I have to frame in the pocket door and then figure it out. I know it’s not enough room for a walk in closet from the hallway, which I would love. I’ll figure it out as I go.
Sandra I’m so glad you decided to go with the powder room/half bath option. That tub was taking and wasting too much space!
I’m loving it already!
I cannot imagine what the people that built your house were thinking. CRAZY! My husband would insist that it was all good enough. How is Wes taking all of this?
Wes is doing surprisingly well with it all — today. I think last week might have sent him into shock and he’s still effected. LOL
I lived with 3 boys – including my husband – and have lived through plenty of in-process remods & construction that looked a lot like that and the *exposure* never bothered any of them. Nope. Not one bit. Still doesn’t. I have nightmares to this day.
LOL…That is “stinking” hilarious.
potty humor :-}
Doesn’t seeing it all open like that make you want to tear down the right half of the corner wall and make it completely open into the formal dining(?formal living?) on the other side?
Madison told me I should. The only problem is that we have central vac and there is a connection right in that wall and I don’t want to have to deal with that. But who knows what I will tear out next. I’ve been kind of demo’ing by the seat of my pants this week!
I love it, it’s so fun to watch and be inspired! My husband’s an electrical engineer and has me thinking about all things electrical, so I think don’t forget to run electrical in the new wall if you’re gonna plug in Christmas lights.
