Planning on undertaking a bathroom renovation project in the future? If your home only has one bathroom then you’re in for a difficult period. It can be a long and challenging process but if you know some of the challenges going in then it can make the difference between endless headaches and a zen acceptance of the realities of the situation. Here’s what you need to know when deciding to renovate the bathroom.
Your home will get messy. If you think you can contain the mess to just the bathroom then you’re mistaken. It will get messy and the sooner you can accept that the better for your mental health. Don’t try to fight the problem by endlessly cleaning. The mess will continue to come back until the project is over. And once your shower is gone you’re going to need to get a little creative with showering. The good news is that you’ll pick up the skill of being able to wash your hair in the sink. The bad news is that you’ll be washing your hair in a sink.
It’s also important during this process not to second-guess yourself or your instincts. That pang of regret or panic once things start getting removed can be strong. You’ll need to fight it if you want to see your true vision come to fruition. Also, you’ll need to understand that once the construction is done the entire project itself isn’t. It’s likely you’ll still have painting tasks that you need to do or other personal cosmetic touches that need to be applied before it’s completely done. It’s a long process, but it will be finished if you maintain your patience and your trust in the process!
The best part about renovating a bathroom? That first shower is going to feel incredible.
