Finally, a picture of progress. Before we started remodeling the bathroom… it was classic 1950’s style.Cool mint green *fake* tile…
With a neato fishy on the rear wall! Although there was a shower curtain, notice there is no REAL shower. Remember those you could hook onto the tub spout? Yeah.
The tub was original cast iron… with a large spot of the porcelain worn off around the drain… and not a smooth porcelain finish left after 60 years! I wanted a *smooth* tub. One you can wipe off when you clean, not scrub with the use of *elbow grease*! That tub found a new owner… someone who is thrilled with it!
And honestly, there was nothing *that* bad about this bathroom, it just wasn’t my style and I *wanted* my style! So I’m working on it. See?
Earth tones. REAL tile. A smidge of pizzazz.
Something my unknown future daughter-in-law or grandchild can look at and say, “Yecch. I think I want something minty green…”
Find me here!
But the old one had grab bars for getting in and out of the tub. Are you going to put grab bars in? Are the faucets and the shower on the side of the tub? Can you tell I think a lot about showers and tubs? I love the colors.
I didn’t put grab bars in. I probably should have, but didn’t.
