"Unfortunately, when we first moved into our home, that small bathroom quickly became one of the most frustrating spaces in the house. With two young kids, bath time felt impossible because the layout just didn't work. As much as I wanted to work with the vintage look, the space was too cramped and awkward. Plus, some of the old tiles were cracked, the ceiling had an ugly popcorn texture, and the built-in cabinet situation was not ideal."
"The first step was demolition. We tore everything out down to the studs. From there, we brought in plumbers to move a few key fixtures around to better fit the way our family actually uses the space - namely, we swapped the vanity and tub spots. We found our beloved clawfoot tub (the highlight of the project) on Facebook Marketplace. It was only $350 and in perfect condition, and even came with a faucet and showerhead."
The couple purchased a 1960s fix-and-flip home quickly after relocating, with the only untouched room being the kids' bathroom. The bathroom's cramped layout, cracked tiles, popcorn ceiling, and awkward built-in cabinets made bath time difficult for two young children. A complete gut remodel was undertaken, with the couple performing most of the work themselves. They demolished to the studs, hired plumbers to reposition fixtures and swapped the vanity and tub for a more functional layout. A $350 clawfoot tub sourced on Facebook Marketplace became the centerpiece, complemented by a wraparound shower curtain rod and white curtain. Walls and floors were slated for upgrades next.
