i think the upstairs bathroom is one of the ugliest rooms in our house.  see also: downstairs bathroom, laundry room.  which is why i've never really posted about it.

i have done nothing in here other than hang the (ugly) curtain i made.  that little storage piece was left behind by the sellers.  the sink and vanity are probably the cheapest option in home depot's bathroom aisle.  the grout is cracked.  the walls, ohh the walls.  i mean, you can see the texture in these photos, right?  i tried to wipe down the wall once when i accidentally sprayed lotion everywhere and the sponge started to disintegrate.

see that little shelf above the sink? i bang my hand into it at least once a day.

confession: i used the shower curtain the sellers left behind.  i know!  gross!  obviously, i bought a new liner but the curtain is a cute white one with embroidery.  and when we moved in it was a lot easier than finder our old curtain.  i did wash it first.

there's also this lovely and well-organized storage space behind the door.  

the amount of beauty products/tools i have is pretty amazing considering what i look like most days

the toilet is super low and wide.  i mean, it's fine, it's a toilet, but i feel like we could gain a few inches of vanity with a more narrow toilet.

i won't even post a photo of the tub.  i think it's original to the house and no amount of scrubbing makes it look clean.  it's been re-caulked twice since we moved in.  and the drain doesn't plug so we can't take a bath.  not that i'd want to.

all this to say, i really want a new bathroom.  nothing fancy but something functional, pretty and new.  we've had money set aside for this but i've been dragging my feet.  we have a horrible bathroom reno in our past that comes back to haunt me every so often.

but i guess i should get over it.  otherwise we're going to be bathing a four year old in that little, blue plastic tub.

any bathroom reno tips?  i guess the next step is browsing around for some inspiration.
