PINK BATHROOM

Got to love the retro look. It's hard to tell in this picture, but both the sink and the tub are pink. This is an excellent example of how remodeling projects can snowball. All we wanted to do was remove the linen closet (which is behind the door) and move the door over, so that there's more room between the door and the sink.

Along with the pink sink, pink tile, and pint bath...we found pink walls under the drywall. Talk about pink overload!

The demolition begins. Dang...more shiplap!
A LOT of demolition was required to move that closet. 
Yes, we had to take down the ceiling. Did I mention that all we wanted to do was remove the closet and move the door?
Once we managed to remove the closet, we realized that there was no tile under the closet. Then, we realized that we'd never be able to match the tile. So...good bye tile! They really built homes to last back then. See all the grooves on the floor...that was filled with layers and layers of mortar.
Yay for contractors! They gave us a nice new floor to work with.
And they moved the door for us.
Now they covered it with hardibacker. To save some money, we have decided to do the tile ourselves. That's going to be a bit scary. Stay tuned for how that works out.
