master bath remodel madness

I think I've long since established that I sign myself up for crazy tasks, right?

We leave for Colorado soon (YAY! Vacation with a baby! Flying with a baby! Lugging around 1,000 baby things!), and while we're gone, we're having our master bath ripped out and starting the remodel. I figured this would be a nice way to avoid some of the mess, but it's making things complicated: pack and plan for traveling with Ethan + order and organize all the new things for the bathroom. We're entering into crunch time and I still don't know what I'm doing.

Sometimes the things we are blessed with (vacation, remodel) can be hard work, too!

Here's a re-post of some 'before' master bathroom pictures. We've got pink terrazzo from the '80s, a weird old jetted tub with cracks and a lovely mirror (enclosed by 3 walls), and a useless vanity space. Oh, and a moldy shower.

this will be double sinks, no toilet

totally removing the shower and the super narrow
linen closet behind it. new floor will flow into
carpeted closet

-the block window will be gone (!)
-will be a walk-in shower with Travertine mosaic floors

this will have a toilet instead of a random vanity

We're also hoping to have a back splash put in the kitchen while we have our contractors in the house anyway, which would leave only a couple of projects:
-possible wood floors (seems more and more likely we will leave the carpet as-is, but changes by day)
-new siding (replace some)
-paint interior doors (I know... tisk tisk, I still need to do this!)
-fix railing outside (wobbles)

We also lost our A/C last week, but are happy to report that we survived 3 days of Texas heat, and now have a functioning air conditioner!

I think that's all I've got right now... Oh, and Ethan turns 10 months old this Thursday! Hopefully I'll remember to take pictures in the morning for a sweet post. I cannot believe we are so close to his birthday! Sheesh!

xo,
