I love window seats, and I’m not talking about on airplanes. Although, those are pretty good too. Unless you are on a long flight and need to use the bathroom often, and you’re sitting with strangers, then it’s very awkward and uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable I’ve ever been on a plane was this one time when my plane was going down. It wasn’t really, but I thought it most definitely was. The plane was attempting to land on a hot summer night in Phoenix, in the middle of a dust storm, aka a haboob. Big deal, you are thinking. A dust storm, oooh, how scary. Take a look at this picture of a haboob in Phoenix and tell me if you want to fly in a plane through that. No you do not girlfriend. Anyway, I survived by basically crawling into the lap of the stranger sitting next to me until it was over.
Hmmm. I may have lost my point in there somewhere. In any event, window seats sure are cool. Until they aren’t. For instance, in a bathroom.
No, no, nope. There is just no need to encourage any pre-shower nor post-shower window lingering. No one needs to see your haboobs.
Nate and Michelle at Decor and the Dog agreed and ripped out that little storage seat and replaced just about every other surface in this bathroom, and the result is absolutely beautiful and also unlikely to get anyone arrested.

January 14, 2015 at 9:24 AMI actually didn’t mind the window seat, but I like the re-do too.
More importantly, you are a very funny woman!

January 14, 2015 at 10:24 AMI agree that a window seat in a bathroom is a bit odd. But now it’s just a bare unused 3-sided chunk of room, which seems even odder. Maybe a standing coat tree type thing for bathrobes, or a small chest to hold toiletries? Something. Love the tile floor tho.

January 15, 2015 at 11:14 AMI don’t mind the open space, but it definitely could use something. She said angle of the picture makes it look a lot wider than it actually was, so it really doesn’t look too strange in reality.

January 14, 2015 at 10:25 AMHahaha. I agree with Carol-Anne – I didn’t mind the idea of a window seat. For some reason, whenever I’m pregnant, showering makes me really light headed, so I usually need to sit down as soon as I get out – so it seems convenient to me! It would just need blinds, or some sort of something added for privacy!

January 15, 2015 at 11:13 AMI get lightheaded in the shower when I’m pregnant too! I even fainted in there once, yikes. I actually had to put a chair in there and shower like a little old lady for a while!

January 14, 2015 at 11:32 AMI actually like the window seat also. Would have updated it a bit, but kept it for the storage. Maybe a place to sit and put lotion on your legs and whatnot.

January 14, 2015 at 1:09 PMA bathroom window seat? I *kind* of see the point (as in there is never anywhere to sit in a bathroom other than the toilet), but at the same time…what do you need to sit in the bathroom for?!
I love the tile in the re-do! And the hardwood! Fantastic!

January 14, 2015 at 2:44 PMI absolutely love the tile! I think I would put in a dark wood chest of drawers in the space where the window seat was… it is a bit odd sitting empty right now. It could also house a tropical tree.

January 14, 2015 at 5:01 PMAnother incredible remodel. Great colors, too. Love Stephanie’s ideas (^ previous comment)… Maybe a tropical plant sitting on a small chest of drawers?

January 14, 2015 at 6:01 PMHaboobs are always good for a joke. 😉 Love the floor tile. I can totally see a big fern either hanging or on a stand in that niche.

January 14, 2015 at 9:33 PMThat line about no one wanting to see your haboobs made me laugh out loud !

January 15, 2015 at 11:12 AMI have to agree. You are HILARIOUS!
Lindsey @ Better After
January 15, 2015 at 12:24 PMAwww, thanks Wendy! 🙂
Kim from Milwaukee
January 16, 2015 at 9:07 AMI agree, that space needs a chest of drawers now…to keep your drawers in…and something to keep the hoisters of the haboobs in as well. 🙂
I love your writing style, girl.
