The majority of work is done on our bathroom, and now that we've moved on to the next phase of our renovation, I can't help but dream about the guest bathroom. On the left is a drawing of the bath and office when we moved in, and on the right is how it will be laid out in the distant future (the rest of the architectural drawings of the house are under the tab House Plans).
We're shifting the wall between the office and the guest bathroom, and we'll probably switch the location of the sink and the bathtub too. Even though we're moving the wall in a bit at the back corner, we're also gaining some space at the front where the laundry closet used to be. I think the new layout will work much better because it will give more room around the bathtub and some storage space to the side of the sink.
Our tub is in pretty rough shape though. The inside has a few chips, which I can deal with (it is 100 years old after all), but the outside is really bumpy and sponge painted pink/orange. Not okay! Here's a photo.
Of course, if we do switch the tub to the other side of the room, the opposite side will be exposed, and who knows what that side looks like... Now that I've confessed that we've been living with a sponge painted bathtub for over two years, I can share some photos of the painted clawfoot tubs (found here and here) that are making me want to grab a paint brush immediately.
Interesting that both of these bathrooms have wood floors, like our bathroom does. Hmm... something to consider. Of course, I'll have to wait to paint until we're much further along in the process. It's fun to dream and plan in the meantime though!
