I feel like I have been on a never ending journey with my bathroom in my house. When I first moved in it was great, totally my style. I had an all pink bathroom. Then one day it all came crashing down, literally, while I was showering. Life happened and it never got fixed. I went through pregnancy without being able to relax in a bathtub and now we brought Nugget into a house that had this atrocious bathtub that we needed to use. This past month we have been working on doing the most cost effective remodel that is possible and now have a great bathroom at a fraction of the cost.
So this is what we started with:
There were so many things going wrong with this room of my house. The shower walls, well they fell in. The tub had lost its shine and was pink. The toilet, also pink, had lost its finish and would get dirty easily. The sink, pink as well, was old and nasty too. The floor, pink, was about to fall through to the basement because of water damage, so yeah, that had to be fixed. Our original plan was to gut the whole thing but we only have one bathroom. That is when we decided to do quick switch outs to minimize the time we would be without a toilet.
We cleared the whole bathroom out and the contractor got to work. First to go was the rest of the tile in the shower!
All gone! Well almost, we decided that we are going to paint the remaining tile to make the project go faster. Next we had to cover up that ugly wall.
At this point I was so happy to not have tiles fall on me, they could have stopped and I would have totally not cared. The next thing that had to go was the floor. We thought we could tile over it, but realized there was some serious water damage that needed to be fixed, so out with the floor!
See what was under there...It had to go. picking out tile was difficult because we needed something that atleast kind of went with the exisiting tile. While waiting for the tile to be installed, we need to have the tub resurfaced. I figured that ripping out the tub would cause a whole other issue, so we just kept it and made it white.
The refinish was just as good as getting a new tub and way cheaper and easier. You would never even know that the tub was pink. After about 3 days of work we had our bathroom completed and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.
We just need to paint the trim, hang the shower curtain and get some storage items. Now that our bathroom is finished we were able to use Nugget's new Contoured Bath Seat by Nuby just in time for him to grow out of it.
When this first came in the mail, Dufda looked at it and thought it was pointless. Then one day I was at work and he sent me a message about how great this seat was. He uses it while he showers with the baby and Nugget cannot get out of the seat. It has very high walls and a deep seat that allows him to lay back and sit up, all while staying safe.
It is also easy to keep clean because there are no additional parts. When I am done, I use the suction cups and put it on the wall of the shower to dry. The seat has a hole in the bottom to drain water while in use as well. The Contour Bath Seat takes up much less space than a typical baby tub and would be great for travel. This seat would work for a kiddie pool or a day at the beach.

In a couple more week, Nugget will have out grown this. It is ideal for babies who cannot sit up or who sit assisted. If you baby sits assisted, this chair gives him the freedom to play in the big tub, with the safety of a smaller tub.
