Melissa thought her house was in pretty good condition when she first bought it. Sure, there were a few minor issues that needed to be fixed, but otherwise it looked great. Key word: looked. Turns our there were so many fundamental problems with the home that it basically needed to be rebuilt. Bummity bummers. Here’s how things went down in the bathroom.
Out with the old radiator and nonfunctional everything else, and in with the new: toilet, vanity, flooring, mirrors, accessories, and a fabulous new glass-enclosed pebble-floored shower that is way less likely to collapse into the floor below. (This actually happened to my cousin who went through the same kind of ordeal with his home a few years ago). See the whole rundown on Melissa’s blog MSG Fun (which is not, by the way, a loving ode to monosodium glutamate).

July 11, 2013 at 4:11 PMmaybe they did heat in the floor. I’d have moved that thing too all I think about is little fingers getting hot.

July 11, 2013 at 4:21 PMWe did heat in the floor! In order for a room to be legit, it has to have a heat source and floor heat counts. The shower floor is also heated.
Thanks for your lovely comments!

July 11, 2013 at 8:16 PMThe before actually looked pretty nice, but the after is spectacular. Love the shower floor. The pebbles must feel so good under your feet.
