Major Renovation Project--Master Bathroom

Our new fixer-upper is undergoing it's first major renovation as we are installing a master bathroom suite complete with tub, separate shower, toilet cove, double vanity, and walk-in closet. The space we are using is the original bathroom, laundry room, and one of the downstairs hallways. This past weekend we ran into some electrical that needed to be updated pronto! Adrian (our friend and construction expert) found some hot knob and tube wiring (the oldest form of residential wiring). Pretty dangerous considering this wiring conducts a lot of heat and was resting on insulation. Nice, huh? Anyway here is what we've done so far...

So far we've knocked out the wall between the old bathroom and old laundry room to combine into one space.

I know it's kind of hard to picture, but it is really starting to take shape...so exciting!! Stay Tuned!

Starting From Here...

Okay, so I have really slacked off for the past 6 months! Instead of trying to catch up and risk burning out on blogging, I'm just going to start again from here and pledge to be better. We'll see how long that lasts! Over the weekend, Aidan and I competed in a Tae Kwon Do tournament. It was a super long day and I'm glad it's over. You can see her compete in forms in the video above this post...

Aidan did such a great job and we are very proud of her for doing her best!
