One Room Challenge Week 3- Bathroom Renovation

Are you looking for a bathroom renovation inspiration? Welcome to One Room Challenge Week 3, where I share the process of our bathroom renovation.

One Room Challenge Week 3 of our bathroom renovation

Is it week 3 of the One Room Challenge already? The days are flying by and I’m already feeling the heat from my indecisions.

If you are new here, the One Room Challenge is a bi-annual interior design event that was created by Linda from Calling it Home. She created this event to inspire and challenge interior designers, and design enthusiasts to complete a room makeover in 8 weeks. Also, this event is media sponsored by Apartment Therapy.

For the One Room Challenge, you choose a space you want to transform and you have 8 weeks to accomplish this. Once a week you share the process of transforming your room.

This is such a great way to get a project done that you may have been wanting to do but have been putting off. Especially if you’re anything like me, I am a huge procrastinator, this will give you the motivation you need to complete your project.

Let’s catch up…

If you missed the first two weeks you can catch up here.

Week 1, Week 2

As I mentioned in my last week’s post, I had a change of plans for the bathroom fixtures. I had previously bought shower head and faucet panel that I decided not use. I had to scramble to find new faucets that I really liked.

It took some time for me to decide on the new fixtures but finally found the one I had envisioned for the bathroom.

We ordered the new shower head and faucet and patiently waiting for their arrival. It’s scheduled to arrive a week from now, I am praying that this will not set us back too much.

So far all of the electricity has been put in place for the new lighting locations.

We also add an outlet next to the toilet for a future washlet toilet seat. I am not sure which one I am going to get so I am not even going to put that into the equation of the things I have to get for now.

All the plumbing for the toilet, the vanity and drain for the tub is complete.

But we have to wait for the shower body before we finish the plumbing for the bathtub. After the shower body is installed, the next step will be to tile the bathroom,

Once the shower and bath faucet arrives we should be able to fly through the rest of the bathroom, I hope!

This week I have plans to alter the front of the vanity with pole wrap, but I’m little on the fence about that project. I have to decide soon to stay on track of time.
