We bought this house in June 2018 from a family moving to Montana. The upstairs main bathroom is really the only major "problem area" the house has, otherwise it is in pretty good condition considering it was built in 1941. After brainstorming and pinning and researching all fall, it is finally time to make a complete main bathroom renovation happen!
The biggest issue with the bathroom was the layout of the toilet in relation to a small closet. The toilet was so close to the closet that the door (which was tiny to begin with!) never even opened fully. And it was so close to the closet that an adult couldn't really sit normally on a toilet... you had to angle at 45 degrees!
After that, while it was in pretty decent shape, the tile around the shower was starting to get a little wonky, and you could see where previous patches and repairs had been done to the tile throughout the room. The tub was "well used" and worn, and I had already replaced the stems on the faucet handles due to leaks right after we moved in. The floor was in amazing shape however - no cracks or chips at ALL! (Besides the grout being darkened due to age/dirt...)
I actually like the "classic" look the bathroom had, with the smaller mosaic and the trim around the room. But it is DEFINITELY time for an upgrade!!! The sconces seemed to know they were done for... one just up and quit working last week! (No, it wasn't just a burnt out bulb!)
