Guest Bathroom


These pictures are going to be quite shocking - not just because of the picture quality (please forgive, but remember, they are pictures of pictures) but because of the subject.

These are pictures of the guest bathroom when I first looked at the house.


I will admit that when I walked into this room the first time I said "OMG - what where these people thinking????"



Take a look

 I think you will say the same thing.





View when you first walk into the room - it is not a large bathroom - so it was difficult to get "good" pictures (with good being relative).  



Sink and toilet area.
Yes, the fixtures are gray (and not a pretty gray - a dirty, yucky, gray)!

What they call cultured marble.

(Sorry, but I don't see a whole lot of culture in these)



A couple of close up shots of the wall "treatment".
Oh, and make sure you get a good look at the light fixture!
There were two of them hanging from chains!



Yes, those are maps glued to the walls - we still are not sure what the blue was - but it had to be sanded off the walls!

I didn't get a photograph of the floor - you really should have seen it.  Especially by the toilet.

There were roots from the palm trees (remember all those palm trees in the front yard) growing out from the base of the toilet.

Really!

I'm not kidding!

Roots!!!


This bathroom made the master bath look like a spa.  I didn't get a picture of the shower, but it had "those" pink tiles on the walls, the floor, and all around the 'spa' tub.




I think that I will leave you with the before pictures - just let it soak it for a while.

I'll post the "after" pictures next week.

Have a great week everyone!

Hugs -

Carol

Unfortunately my deadline is today. If you have a chance, please email me at alinadizik@gmail.com and I can give you more info.
    Thanks in advance!
