Elsa's White & Cream Dreams / Before and After

Not knowning if we were going to have a boy or a girl (a deliberate decision we made which made Elsa’s arrival an even more exciting event), we decided to create a neutral colour scheme of whites and creams for Elsa’s bedroom.

Bathroom Before

This is my bathroom. The cast-iron tub dates back to the construction of the house and is very shallow. I love having water up to my neck when I take a bath so this tub definitely doesn't work. The tile was adding on later over the existing one making the walls about 2 1/2" deep. It's kinda moldy so getting rid of it will be a major plus.

I love subway tile. It's a clean look that never goes out of style, but this one is in bad shape. The rad is also pretty nice and keeps the room toasty-warm. Hopefully we can salvage it and put it back in after the reno.

Kitchen Before

This is my 70's style kitchen. Right now, it's a very small space. The fridge is in a weird alcove which is not very efficient.

Most of the cupboards don't close anymore.

The Beginning

We bought our upper-duplex condo in April 2009 and since then, we've been planning and dreaming about redoing the kitchen and the bathroom. The house dates from 1926 and has a lot of character but the kitchen and bathroom are in much need of some TLC, so were gonna gut them out and give these spaces a complete new look.
