Apparently somewhere in this poor bathroom's past, a terrible flood happened that totally messed up the floors. Now did the previous owner do anything about these messed up floors....no! They covered them with ugly vinyl flooring (or whatever that horrible peel and stick tile stuff is) and went on their merry way. The problem with this of course is that the sub flooring is totally messed up, warped, and in desperate need of replacing. With this in mind, we are seriously thinking of just hiring professionals. Obviously both of us would love to be home improvement geniuses that can handle all manner of power tools, but we are not and therefore must hire a professional for certain jobs.....like total bathroom renovations.
So, this dream like all others (did I mention I REALLY want to replace my tape window?.....650 times?....oh) must wait for better financial times. In the meantime though, I thought I'd show a collection of what my bathroom could look like...
Let's start with a layout of my closet sized bathroom shall we?

Yup, that's it. You can flush the toilet from the shower....you know, if you wanted to. The good news is, this bathroom's small size may make fixing the floors cheaper than your average bathroom since you know less material needed and all. I mean seriously, I got a flier from the Depot the other day that was advertising floor tiles (12x12) at $0.99/sq.ft. Just buying tile for the floors (oh if only that was the only thing needed) would cost us around $25. I could scrape change out from the sofa and probably afford that.
So the rest of this is stuff that would be nice to have when it comes time to have a lovely, new bathroom. I especially love the sliding glass doors on the tub. I don't love all sliding doors, but these are really quite nice looking....and with glass doors on the tub it would help make the bathroom look larger as well as let in light from the window that will have been replaced at this point (said window is located on that 4ft wall where the tub resides). The only drawback I see is I will have to be extremely diligent in my cleaning of the tub/shower; cause now unless the guest is staying for the night, I can just pull the curtain shut and pretend the mildew doesn't exist.
