Two key things I wish we had done differently in our master bathroom renovation

It appears that evidently regardless of how a lot planning goes right into a room, there are all the time modifications I’d make in hindsight. Our grasp tub is not any completely different.

Total I’m very happy with the appear and feel of the room and when speaking a couple of room that’s and will likely be used frequently by an individual in a wheelchair, operate is essential. However there are two foremost issues I want I might return and alter. One is de facto an inexcusable oversight. However the different was one thing I actually could not know as a result of that is all new to us.

Exit(s) Behind Center Cupboard

That is the “How might I’ve forgotten this?” mistake I want I might return and alter. Why on earth did not I consider placing an outlet behind the middle cabinet on the vainness wall so we might preserve rechargeable objects hidden within the drawers?

I’ve a bunch of issues I would like to preserve linked – a face cleanser factor, a purple gentle remedy factor for the face, a enamel whitener factor. I suppose I did not notice what number of refillable objects I’ve till I began taking issues into the lavatory.

I would say my neglect of an outlet behind the cupboard is the most important and most annoying mistake I’ve made on this lavatory, and for the reason that cupboard is beneath a window, there is no straightforward method to repair it. I do not assume there is a method to repair it with out messing up a wall beneath one of many dressers, and it isn’t going to occur. I will stay with the inconvenience earlier than I am going again on this lavatory and have to repair a wall.

The excellent news is, I do not use this stuff day-after-day, and I feel I can discover a method to retailer these things within the glass-fronted lavatory cupboard. Since this case has an outlet on the aspect and already has an extension wire working by way of it for the LED lights, I feel I can plug issues in and preserve them charging in that case and possibly put them in a basket so they are not there. very seen. There may be all the time an answer. 🙂

And the second factor I’d change in hindsight…

Extra Showers

I am not as laborious on myself with this as I’m with overseeing the exit, as the entire wheelchair accessible bathe was new to us and we did not know what to anticipate.

At one level I considered having two showers on the identical wall, because the bathe head is so huge.

I ended up altering my thoughts as a result of the purpose of taking such an enormous bathe is in order that Matt can transfer freely in his wheelchair within the bathe. Having two showers on the identical wall would imply he can be pushed somehow, and that appeared to defeat the aim of getting such a big bathe to himself. And it appeared to me that having a foremost bathe and a conveyable one can be sufficient.

However now that we’re utilizing the bathe, I want I would gone with not two showers, however with three. And I would not put all of them on the identical wall, however I’d put one on every of the three partitions within the curtain bathe space.

It is solely an issue once I’m serving to Matt together with his tub. Clearly, once I’m having a shower, a bathe will suffice. However once I’m serving to Matt together with his bathe, having three showers (one on every of the three partitions) permits me to assist him, to maneuver freely round him, whereas all the time managing to remain heat beneath a stream of water. As it’s now, Matt will get all the nice and cozy water (sure, he needs the bathe head and the hand held pointing at him to get heat 😀) whereas I am on my aspect, freezing.

He’s nicely. 😀 That is proper. I am keen to remain out within the chilly whereas he takes a pleasant bathe. And the bathe is de facto good. In actual fact, it has been greater than cool. It has been life altering for Matt. However I want I had recognized then what I do know now.

These are actually the one two issues I want I might change. However general I completely love our new lavatory. I am trying ahead to the day when it will not have an exterior port. I am unable to wait till that door results in our new bed room as a substitute of Cooper’s fenced yard. It is slightly irritating for now having my huge canine monitoring dust and dust in our new lavatory. 😀 However this can be a short-term inconvenience that WILL get modified finally.

Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I rework and enhance the 1948 Fixer Higher that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013.
