Wren’s Nest Conservation Update — Our Non-Historic Bathroom is Finished!


Written on December 3, 2009 at 6:13 pm, by Amelia

Behold: our newly remodeled bathroom — no more outhouse for us!

Wren's Nest Bathroom, Remodeled by Blalock Construction

Gorgeous, isn’t it?  Go ahead, take a moment to drink it all in.

Perhaps you’ve already noted our expert use of light, bright wall colors and mirrors to open the space.  This is not only lovely, but necessary, as the bathroom is approximately 7.12 square inches large.

Wren's Nest Bathroom: New Sink

I’m not complaining; I love small things.  Especially this adorable washbasin.  Yes, I did just call that sink adorable and yes, I meant it.

Who knew that putting in something so wee would open up so much space?  Oh right, Blalock Construction.  Thanks, fellas!

Wren's Nest Bathroom: New Lights!

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you.  That is indeed a light fixture up there, and guess what — it even has a switch!  Gone are the days of a single bulb that we screwed in to turn on — we’re living large now!

Wren's Nest Bathroom: Non-vomited-in Vent!

Perhaps you remember that one special time a child threw up into our vent.  It was magical.  I really, really hope no one boots into this new vent, and not just because it’s so pretty.

Want to see more?  Tough.  I told you, it’s small as a thimble.

But you can see it in person– why, this Sunday would be a great time!

    Congrats!! Are you going to keep the port-a-potty, just in case?

    It can be hard to say goodbye.

  5. That’s a nice Bathroom! You can texture walls before you build them up, and it will be a lot faster than pulling them up and then texturing.
