This bathroom was disgusting! It was old, rusty, yucky and had plants trying to grow through the window...which was clear, unobscured glass, talk about a lovely view :)
Did I also mention there was no insulation, water damage, a sewer pipe sticking out of the wall, a blue toilet and matching blue 4x4 tiles, no fan, one light and no storage? Plus the previous owners had tried to "spruce" this bathroom up by painting but they didn't sand, prime, tape or cut in the edges and they painted the ceiling lights and never wiped it off...they must have forgotten EVERYTHING.
Bart and I spend lots of time and money trying to make this bathroom, functional, comfortable and pretty. We insulated the walls-which meant drywalling and framing, moved the heating duct so it would actually work, and added a fan, replaced the old electrical (it was a fire hazard) and got new outlets for bathrooms/water splashes.
Then we added light(S) so you can see yourself in the mirror and in the shower. Got a new toilet, sink and granite vanity, new tub and all new plumbing and hardware to go with it. Bart then installed tile in the shower and new flooring. Then we sanded and primed and painted, put in new hardware for the towels and toilet paper and lastly Bart made a cabinet above the toilet for storage.
We are very close to renting this basement apartment. Keep us in mind for anyone looking to rent two minutes from BYU in Provo.

That transformation is remarkable. You two are miracle workers!
It looks wonderful! We have those same faucets in our new tub. You have great taste :)
Canessa, you are married to an absolute gem! This place is turning out beautifully!
Holy you guys are awesome!
Wow! I thought the bathroom in our first home was ugly, but this one was definitely in contention for the title! You two did a great job. It is quite a transformation. (Love the photo of Bart in the red t-shirt where he has no arms...haha.)
That looks awesome!!
You guys are inspiring! PS I love the new backdrop!
Is that all you had to do?
