Before & After: Master Bathroom

Trying to show off the house via my blog to extended family over the holidays was kind of a pita because of how spastically I blog, and how randomized my picture placement is, so I'll be doing a before and after for each room we've tackled.

From the realty listing

Little Cape's Little Bathroom

As part of our Euclid Point of Sale, we have to replace the linoleum in the upstairs half* bath.

*Really it's more like a quarter bath.

Someone slapped some sheet linoleum over the old swanky 1950's stuff with a bit of glue. The corner sink (!) is leaking like mad, and the toilet is a water hog. The 1959 Nutone fan is loud and the grill is disgusting. 

So being us, we decided to rip it up and make a mess! The toilet's out, the sink is down and the floor is, well, coming along...

Come back and see what we've gotten done in a few days... until then, enjoy your first ever peek at the smallest bathroom ever.

 

This border screams class.

Hey, a disconnected Nutone!

There's a party on the bathroom floor.

A sad, leaky sink.

Sink hanger.

It's really this skinny.

I never got a picture of our downstairs toilet. Well, not while it was installed.

We had Uverse installed on Saturday and while the installer was there, Guy and I ripped out the old toilet and installed a new one.

The old toilet, when flushed, my God, I've never seen so much water, and it was more water efficient than the even older one upstairs in the half bath. Go turn your washer on and watch the water fill... that's watching these toilets flush. I joked that you had to wait for Lake Erie to fill back up before you could flush again.

For $88.00 we got the Glacier Bay 2-Piece 1.28 GPF High Efficiency Round Toilet in White. Because the floor is high in the bathroom, Guy did have to run back to HD and grab a wax ring with that cone thing. He ended up just stacking that one with the one that came with the toilet, effectively using them both.

 

Bonus... a smaller footprint!

Our 39 year old toilet awaiting garbage day. Lake Erie breathes a sigh of relief.
