As you might have already read the initial home of the main bathroom was behind the kitchen on the east side of the house. With making the staircase a real staircase and not a mountain climb, the entry to the bathroom disappeared and the only way to reach it would have been through the kitchen. Icky. So, I moved the bathroom because I hate the idea of taking a shower a couple feet from supper cooking on the stove or anyone having to go through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. The only place I had for the new bathroom location however, was a corner of the living room. Ideal? Nope. Not bad? Not bad at all! You should recognize the vanity in the 3d picture, I refinished it last summer, and it sat out on the screened-in porch for the last several decades.

Wood on a bathroom floor!? Am I nuts!? Yup, I’m nuts, and my family seems to like that about me. The floor in the bathroom will be the same as the rest of the floors throughout the house. I am going to seal it well and I’m not worried about it at all. No windows? Yeah… no windows 🙁 This bathroom sits almost in the exact center of everything and is as far from an outside wall as is possible. Oh well – it is an older home, quirks such as the uniqueness of this bathroom from its location to the fact that it has no windows are, of course, what I love about it.
