Week 2: Embracing the Essential but Not-so-Exciting Part of Renovating Our Master Bathroom!
Framing, Plumbing, and Electrical Installations.
MY PROGRESS: WEEK 1 | WEEK 2 |
Whoever said home renovation was easy clearly never tackled One Room Challenge!
We’re in Week 2 of the Challenge and things are moving at warp speed. We’ve taken over our daughter’s old room and are transforming it into our small but dreamy master bathroom.
What we did this week:
- Created an entryway from our bedroom to the new bathroom
- Picked up a cool glass door to the bathroom from our local lumber yard for a BARGAIN price!
- Framed both closets, the shower, the vanity and the commode area.
- Closed up one window to make space for the shower.
- Replaced the remaining older windows with new double-paned, double-hung quality windows.
- Smoothed out the old stippled ceilings, that was a hot mess!
- Had an electrician run the new electricity throughout.
- Had our plumber start the plumbing (this was way too complicated for us to undertake).
I’m most excited about about our shower! I didn’t really want to sacrifice a much-needed second closet for a bathtub we’d use maybe twice a month. So my shower had to be large…and luxurious. Say hello to my 4 1/1 foot wide by 8-foot long shower!

It’s a wrap for week 2! I’m tired, the bags under my eyes have definitely deepened, our house may look like a construction site gone mad and we’re all cramped in the downstairs guest rooms, but the excitement of finishing our new space is giving me life.
Follow along as we document the weekly behind-the-scenes action, including demo, renovation, and all the ups and downs of converting a bedroom into a luxurious master bathroom.
