The Remodel (Bathroom 1 +2)

Here we go, the last bit of the remodel posts, the bathrooms. Excuse the poor photo quality, snapped these quickly with the last bits of available day light:

sneaky mirror selfie, hello internet world.

The original bathrooms:

Keep in mind, the photos above were the condo listing photos, the actual bathrooms looked much worse in person, chipped paint, leaky faucet, moldy cabinets, similar to the kitchen, the renovation absolutely needed to be done. 

No photos yet for the second bathroom, but it was remodeled almost exactly the same way as the master bath, same ikea sink cabinet (we actually found these at the AS IS section, they were the exact ones we wanted, already assembled, perfect condition, 50% off/ <$100 each, major score there, woot!.), subway tiles, and a simple glass shower door, you get the picture. 

That wraps it up, we are really pleased with the end result considering our small budget, we want to do our best to not clutter up the space we have now with excessive furnitures and knick-knacks. Though if we find that perfect dining table... :P 

The Remodel (Kitchen)

The kitchen renovation was our biggest challenge during the remodeling process, the space was very small and awkward (our washer/dryer unit is behind the folding door on the right, see what I mean?). Expansion was simply not an option due to the structural factor of the condo and the way the original kitchen was built. We knew we wanted an open concept design with maximum storage options without overhead cabinets, after sorting out the technical details, we picked out the materials and gave the contractor a basic sketch and they went to work. Seven stressful weeks, countless home depot runs, a handful of minor hiccups later, our new kitchen was complete.   

I'm really pleased with the end result, it's the perfect size for a small family like us. Plenty of room for both of us to move around when we cook together, bottom cabinet storage frees up the top space for a wider, open feel,  the counter space is ample, we also installed some ikea shelving to easily access cups and serving bowls, the top of the fridge became a snack shelf but for now we will pretend it's just a "temporary" mess.
