We Didnt Think It Could be Done

The How To Home

2018 will go down in the annuls of our family as the year we finally renovated our powder room... It took several years of wondering just how on earth could we ever make it larger and more accessible! When we bought our  wonderful 80 year old English Tudor home we were  pleased there was a downstairs bathroom with its own shower, but it  hadnt been redone  probably in 50 years and was  so small  you couldnt manage the toilet without sitting sideways  or else your

knees were into the radiator.. There was a utility closet right next to the powder room, but  we needed the storage so badly in this older home! 
Then ond day, early spring, we happened into  the Better Wood store and found  exactly what we needed ..a Jelly cabinet/ pantry...We  ordered one painted to  match  so lovely in the hallway outside the bath

and it manages to contain everything we need  right outside the bathroom door!

The job was a complete  gut job...  even plumbing and wiring had to be relocated..  But  we couldnt have been happier..  in 21 days  it looked like this!

These  items fit right in the nook  taken from the closet..

 I absolutely love our new shower!!!!

 The wainscoting came to me as an after thought..  We love it so much!!

 BLISS!!
