Project Girly Glam Bathroom Begins!

Last week we started a new construction project: two tween bathrooms.  The girl bathroom I have dubbed project girly-glam (I shared the mood board here) and the boy bathroom I'm just calling boy bathroom for now. Am I a terrible sexist?  I may need to come up with a new moniker.

I thought it might be interesting to share the (quasi) real-time stages of a bathroom construction project.  Typically a full bath remodel is a 4 week project.  Today I'll share a little peek of what happens in the first week.  

First let's start with the original baths.  Here's Girly-Glam in her original state... 

And Mr Boy Bath, Before...

The first few days of the job are the messiest.  Cabinetry, fixtures and tile are broken down and carried out.  By the time we are done, the spaces look like shells.  It gets pretty ugly before it gets pretty!

Since its such a small space and hard to capture on camera, I thought I might try something new and show you guys a little video mid-demolition.  I apologize in advance if I sound like a pre-pubescent boy who talks too fast and can't handle a camera properly.

The next day I came back to find Girly-Glam looking like this.  Check out all the crap the last contractor left in the floor!  Don’t worry, we will clean it up and do it right.

Not to leave out MrBoy, here is his bathroom after the first week of demo.

Other happenings in week one:  Plumbers lay their pipes and prepare for new fixture locations.  Electricians run their wires.  I frantically check on status of tile deliveries.

Hopefully I’ll do a good job of documenting the progress and be back next Monday with a recap or week 2.
