The biggest and most exciting updates we have for you is the master bathroom.

After being laid off, the hubs and I realized that we would again have to put the home remodel on hold.  Bummer.  What we did do with some of our funds was prep the upstairs bathroom for its overhaul.  Our heroes Dennis and Joe came over from Spokane for the weekend and plumbed our future master bathroom. 

Here is what the space looked like before...

After the 1st round of gutting.

After the 2nd round of gutting.

And here are some photos of the pipes going in. :)

Here is the finished plumbing product all nicely hidden under a new layer of plywood.  You may also notice that back section that housed the toilet and sink originally.  We tried and tried with all our might but couldn't save the space.  We needed the height on that wall since the whole room is an odd shape so we framed it in and it will disappear...

The blue bucket is covering the plumbing to our new (actually very old) CLAWFOOT TUB, you know, the one I mentioned getting! We didn't want no trippin happenin hea.

Here she is!  We got her at Second Use in the industrial district of Seattle.  This lady was $400 bones but in comparison to her younger friends, this was a steal.  She is in GREAT shape and just needs a little scrubbin and a coat of super glossy white spray paint. 

I love how the plumbing holes resemble the head of an extremely famous mouse :)

She currently resides in the master bedroom and is eagerly waiting her placement in the bathroom, as am I. 

At least we have all the plumbing in place and can do the other work a little at a time.

Here is the plumbing for the two pedestal sinks that will sit on each side of the centered tub.

Here is the amazing "vintage" flooring that we are going to use

This will be an experiment but the plan for this space is a closet.  It will be interesting and the clothes will be low hanging, but I think it is a good way to use the space and will free up our room of having large, space hogging dressers.  We plan to do another of these that will be accessed through the bedroom. 

This is the view looking out into our bedroom.  The plumbing for the toity (toilet) is on the bottom right.  Plans call for a 1/2 to 3/4 privacy wall to the left of the toilet, right of the door. 

Here is another awesome illustration by yours truly.  I figured it would help you imagine how the space will look.

I know its hard to imagine that our bathroom will look better than these photos but I can assure you, they will.
