Our more than year long project to renovate the upstairs bathroom has finally come to an end. It wasn't that the bathroom in total was super hard (though the shower tile surround was a beast. . . .), it's just that we started it without a good plan for what we wanted or when we were going to do it. The other projects of the house took priority since we have another shower and two more toilets. We did, however, prioritize at least the toilet and sink before our Christmas guests came in January, and just pulled the curtain over the incomplete shower!

After
The shower tile was a long, slow process but it does look beautiful! The tile was just so heavy and hard to lay because of its size and bulk and the fact that the walls weren't square. But John figured it out and has learned a lot of lessons for the master bath renovation that I'm sure will be coming sooner rather than later! And happily this year all of our Christmas guests can shower in their own bathroom.
