One Room Challenge: Week 2-Bathroom renovation

Are you looking for a bathroom renovation inspiration? Welcome to One Room Challenge Week 2, where I share the process of our bathroom renovation.

Bathroom renovation- One Room Challenge Week 2

Hello friends, welcome to week two of one room challenge.

To recap, the One Room Challenge is a bi-annual interior design event that was created by Linda from Calling it Home to inspire and challenge interior designers, and design enthusiasts to complete a room makeover in 8 weeks.

This the way it goes, you choose a space you want to transform and you have 8 weeks to accomplish this. Meanwhile, once a week you talk about the stages you are at with your project.  

There are easy guidelines for the participants to follow to make this a really fun event. This is such a great way to get a project done that you may have been wanting to do. Especially if you’re anything like me procrastinating for years to start a particular project, this will give you the push you need.

ORC is celebrating it’s 10 year anniversary of bringing creativity, inspiration and fun. This year Apartment Therapy is the official media partner of One Room Challenge.

Design dilemmas

This week really flew by! The space I will be transforming is our hallway bathroom, mainly used by my children and guests.

The electricity and the plumbing are completed. The sheetrock and cement boards are installed and ready for a waterproof membrane.

There is something so satisfying about looking at an empty room and envisioning a design. That’s when it hit me that I needed to make some changes.

Here’s a look at last week and the plan I came up with originally. I have already started veering of this design plan, which is driving my husband crazy!

Most of the fixtures and materials for the bathroom were purchased years ago and was just patiently waiting for my husband to get around to it renovating this bathroom.

As I stood there admiring the empty space I decided that I was not too fond of the shower panel and faucets I had previously bought. I was a bit apprehensive about the shower panel in the first place, but my husband convinced me to get it.

It’s never good when I am not 100% satified with a purchase! My husband was not too keen with that change because he just completed closing up the walls. Well, it was kind of his doing, hehe.

It won’t be too much work to alter for the new plumbing. We’ll have to open up a section of the cement board to make the changes to the plumbing to make way for the new shower body.

Last few days, I tweaked my design plan so many times I am not sure what the final room is going to look like.  I have a feeling the plan is going to evolve few more times.
