Not only have we changed the plan of the guest bedroom lay out we have also changed our plan on what projects were a priority. A funny thing about planning projects is that things change and not being in the house while doing planning for said house normally doesn't turn out to well. Like planning to add another window in the guest room only to find out when we got home that the pool equipment is in the exact spot we wanted the window. Lame right? Maybe one day we will add it by having a professional tackle that "little" job.
Our priority list changed when we discovered the window and pool equipment issue. Which led us to this lovely room.
Don't let this picture deceive you it needs some work. The issue with the guest bathroom is not that it looks bad, but that it feels crowded even though its a fairly large second bathroom. The main issue that we have with this room is that big built in storage cabinet, you almost walk right into it when you walk into the room. Next the light switch is on the other side of the built in so when you walk into the room in the dark you pretty much have to slide your hand along the built in and then around the corner to turn the light on. Its kind of annoying.
Having the built in is nice for the storage aspect but honestly it is not necessary for this bathroom. Along with the built in the next things that have to go are the tile counter top and the outdated light fixture. We decided it was just the right time to tackle these issues and it also helped that Home Depot was having a big sale on bathroom vanities 50% off to be exact. How could we pass that deal up.
The plan is to remove the built in storage pantry, vanity, light, mirror and tile floor. We went to Home Depot to find us a nice vanity and did indeed find us a beauty. Exactly what we have been looking for. Dark colored wood, counter top all one piece with an integrated sink and it looks like a piece of furniture bottom shelf included. Its pretty exciting.
We also picked up a pretty sweet faucet when we picked up the vanity. That light fixture we have had for probably over a year now. It's just been sitting in the guest bathroom waiting for the right moment for it to be installed.
We have already kind of made a decision on new tile but it is not a 100% decision. See the picture with the vanity above, well we like the look of that tile. Which has a travertine look to it, now we just have to find it. We for sure want to do a bigger tile than the 6x6 tiles that we currently have in there, so we might just go with a 12 x 12 inch tile or even a 16 x 16 inch tile. We really love the look of more tile and less grout. We will keep you posted on that decision when we finally make it. As for now that is the plan.
