So after three months of exhaustive work and a daily lesson in Murphy’s Law, I am finally done with my bathroom renovation.
I’ve made some eco-friendly upgrades that are also super lux like radiant heated flooring, two-button low flow toilet with grey water, energy star whirlpool tub run partly off an external solar panel, no-VOC paint, and some upcycled vintage fixtures, hardware, and molding.
I’ve learned a lot from doing this project like OCD + black grout = the stuff of nightmares, nothing is level – NOTHING IS LEVEL, but mostly, I learned I never want to renovate a fucking bathroom again because even though on social media I’m supposed to pretend that this shit is easy and fun and “you too can DIY,” this project sucked so very, very, very much and I am fucking. over. it.
… BUT I’m pretty happy with the results 🙂
Tho, my bathroom is now so nice I feel awkward using it, like I showed up to a Michelin-rated restaurant in sweats.
(And not luxe athleisurewear sweats, like pizza stain first day of your period sweats)
