Small Bathroom Remodeling Time

That’s right, I was looking at the small bathroom I have on the first floor of my house the other day and was seriously thinking about how best to go about remodeling the room to get the best from the space available.

Now let’s face it, the room is pretty small and at present most of the space is taken up by the old bath tub, which no one even uses any more! So that got me to thinking why not rip that bath tub out and replace it with a nice shower unit? That will provide a sudden gap where the toilet can now go, freeing up one whole wall for heated towel racks and a bathroom vanity unit with a big wall mirror right behind to further create the illusion of more space.

Well, I sat down and sketched it all out on a piece of paper, as is my usual way of putting some of my more enlightened ideas onto a medium where I can better explain it. It looked pretty good, so I went down to the local bathroom store in town and had a word with their designer guy, who happens to be a friend of mine going way back.

He came over and took a bunch of measurements and went back to the store to put my plan into action. The next day, he had four options for me starting with the least expensive to the most expensive. I actually went for the second most expensive option because I liked the look of it the best and it was just perfect for how I envisaged the small bathroom remodeling plan to be.

Well, a week later, the guys brought all the stuff over, ripped out my old bathroom units and had the whole job finished inside two days. Now that’s pretty good going! I say that if you get some small bathroom remodeling ideas in your head, then you should get them down on paper while they’re stiff fresh in your mind and that way you’ll be better able to express your wishes to a professional and get a really great job done.

So I was pleased as anything since the end result was exactly what I wanted to see. My wife loved the new bathroom and it gets used a heck of a lot more than it ever did. So it was money well spent and time well used.
