As parents who have potty trained little ones this is something we hear countless times a day. Logan’s one to announce that he has to pee regardless of where he is just to be sure everyone knows hes a big boy and he can go by himself, cute right? Not so cute when you yourself try to get a single minute to use the bathroom and then you hear the infamous like “moooooooom I have to peeeeeee”. This is all fine and dandy and you of course jump to not let an accident happen but what’s the point of having bought a house with 2 bathrooms when we only have 1 done?
When we started renovating the house we pretty much decided that the most important parts were the upstairs living spaces and that we would tackle the basement later. Well later has finally come. Last year was the year of the basement reno which turned out great (still need to decorate but we have a basement!). The second bathroom & laundry/utility room have been on the bottom of our lists in terms of updates but with Logan getting bigger and well all of us needing a bit more bathroom space we decided that this year we will opt out of “gifts” for Christmas and give each other the gift of privacy & a finished bathroom. For the longest this space was just used as storage for building material and tools and well if you know my husband car parts…so itll be nice to finally have this bathroom space finished.
Step one was biting the bullet and placing an order for all the things we need for this project. So with CyberMonday being earlier this week we totally took advantage of the sales picking up: a vanity, Ditra heated floor kit (which Moe insisted on) & sconces. Not a bad haul and enough to get us started. All we need is a faucet, toilet, and little extra things to add to the room. This week my plan is to have that space cleared out and ready to start as soon as our stuff comes in! I sure hope Moe’s ready to tackle all his stuff in that room…God only knows what treasures he may find lol.
So here’s to starting new projects and creating new spaces, even if it is just a bathroom and then on to the
laundry/utility room.
