The Other Bedroom / Bathroom Adventure (Before Pictures)

 The before pictures are from December but this project really began towards the end of January. With the current project more or less done with the exception of waiting for the vanity what better time to try and get his great big mess straightened out? The baby still being a baby was definitely a factor in all of this because I don't want to have a toddler on the loose while trying to get this moving.

 This is looking down the hallway from the kitchen. These are the original three bedrooms. Master on the far left, bathroom is the first door on the right and the other doorway + passageway lead to the other two bedrooms. The house was a 3/2 until around 2002.

Looking from the master bedroom back towards the kitchen.

This is the master bedroom as seen from the original master bath. It's a tiny thing, around 3'x9'.

Back towards the hallway again... it's still a train wreck down there!

When I said the bathroom was small I wasn't joking!

The bathroom is so small the light switches are on the outside. It's probably why they were on the outside of the new master bath, it's just what the previous owner was used to even though it made no sense.

This isn't so bad

 

Small but liveable, as opposed to the next bedroom

Originally the entrance to this room is on the wall to the right. It lost its bedroom and what looks like about 1' along the entire wall the current door is on.

Technically this isn't a bedroom because there's no closet. Maybe I could have leveraged that somehow when buying the place but that ship has long since sailed. It was originally the corner of the house with a window on the right-hand wall along with the remaining one. It's a terrible color, the sort of thing you'd get when mixing together a bunch of leftover paint to do a room.

And now for the world's worst bathroom

It may not be obvious at first, but this bathroom is seriously terrible. The tile is coming up on its own because who knows what is going on underneath the floor. It's been redone at least twice now from what I can tell, and once upon a time it was yellow and would have had a high window above where the shower/tub is now.

These one piece fiberglass shower / tub things are awful. The previous owner's kids drew all over it with marker and it's all yellowed despite never really being around sunlight. The upside is I don't think there will be water damage behind it.

At least the pedestal sink is gone and there's a vanity!

The mirror may look ok in pictures but in person it's too small and hard to use. Lighting is kind of iffy too, and there is no vent anywhere.

And last the bedroom...

This is the baby's room but beforehand we used it as the office.

All said, not bad really.

Well, besides the blinds .Cheap plastic blinds that are 15 years old aren't known for their ability to stay in one piece.

The built in shelving isn't bad, but the coat closet bump into the room will make it a challenge when baby gets bigger and moves into an actual bed. Not a lot of options here.

No telling how long this area will take to redo. Project fatigue has set in and there are so many other things I'd rather be doing... but the show must go on!
