Bathroom overhaul!

This bathroom was bad. Real, real bad.
 There's never enough storage, so they decided to set a cabinet on top of a shelf. There's no way that could go wrong, right?

Also, you can't tell from the picture, but the sink is too big, so the door can't open all the way.
 Yeah, there's that too. Also, notice the beat-up wallboard.
 It's hard to get a sense of the general filth. And you can't tell that the tile was poorly laid, so it's cracking all over the place.
Barely hanging on. Also, those lights are not my favorite. Eww.

And it gets worse before it gets better. It gets way, worse.

Ooh, check it out! Peel and stick tile under the ceramic. Who puts peel and stick in a bathroom? That might explain why the subfloor is a little spongy.

And that was some pretty fancy wallpaper border. Hmm.

  1. So, do you think you're going to have to fix the subfloor in the bathroom?

    1. Yep, it's really not that serious. The joists are fine, and there is a plank subfloor under the current plywood that seems solid enough to screw in to. So, we're just putting a new layer of plywood so that it feels solid (and so that the new flooring has something smooth to go over).
