Pause for a moment and review these Before Renovation photos. All kinds of ugly, right?
Now you may proceed. Welcome to our lovely bathroom!
The walls are Cafe Latte and the trim is White on White by Glidden. The shower curtain and grey towels are from Target. The towel hooks are from the Tredways’ Stash of Future Things and the packages were covered with half an inch of dust.
One of our favorite things about the bathroom—oh, who am I kidding, the whole place is a favorite thing!—is the ample storage that we created. The closet, now painted bright white, has been transformed from a dungeon to shelf heaven. We can stack towels to our hearts’ content, store bathroom supplies in baskets, and hang towels on hooks. There’s even a decent spot to store paint cans while we continue to repaint the upstairs bedrooms. Also, there’s an alcove behind the shower where we can now hang robes and towels (see the image with three hooks) which is uber-convenient.
We are incredibly grateful for all the folks who helped redeem this space! From the professionals (Jonny Friesen, Jerry Lewis and his crew) to friends-with-organizational-skills (Renae Morehead, Jen Hinrichs), from patient parents who paint (Mom and Dad Tredway) to parents who wash and fold copious amounts of laundry (Mom and Dad Lawton), we thank you.
