Donde esta el bano?

When we bought out home the bathroom was NASTAY!  Okay, maybe it wasn't THAT bad but the top of the countertop was pretty much at Justin's knees, the toilet HAD to go and the original vanity under the window was really cute but made no sense with the toilet sitting directly in front of it.  It just didnt work for us.

Little brain refresher...  before.

SOOOOO...  we gutted it!  We ripped up the vinyl flooring, mirror, toilet and both vanitites.  I actually was really trying to keep the vanity under the window but it just took up space and was kinda in the way.

We ripped up the hardwood floors, threw down some hardy backer board and laid the same tile we used in the kitchen.  (Mesa - purchased at Lowes) 

After the tile was all set and dry, I started thinking of what kind of vanity I would like to incorporate into the space.  The ones I liked at Lowes and Home Depot were nice but SO darn expensive.  I knew I didnt want to drain a bunch of our budget into the vanity so I got creative.

While putsing around in IKEA one weekend, I saw this little dresser.  It was a grey blue color, had curved legs and cute little white ceramic drawer pulls and had an overall vintage look. (EDLAND $199) I paired it with a vessel sink found at Lowes (Decolave $35) and a GREAT vintage looking faucet that was on clearance for $40!!!!

Justin cut a hole in the top and bottomof the dresser and ran all the plumbing through the middle.  Unfortunately the drawers are not usable but they provided just enough space to hide all the plumbing work.

We added some beadboard along to bottom half of the room to hide some badly damaged walls, painted, purchased a new lighting fixture and mirror and now we have a cute vintage bathroom for all our guests to enjoy!
