Transformation Tuesday- Bathroom

Ever go into an old 50's home and fall in love? Well, believe it or not... I did! 
My husband and I were in the engaged stage of our relationship, and we were set to be married in a few short months. ONE stipulation I had to moving into his home was that I wanted a working bathtub. I played it off on resale value and on a million other things but what it came down to, was that I was a princess inside and really didn't want to live without a bath tub! I mean, taking a hot bubble bath when you don't feel well is the greatest feeling ever!

Anyways, he said we could redo the tub but if we do that, we needed to change the tile in the bathroom. I took that very vague statement and went to town on the bathroom with a sledge hammer! 

Only a few days later, the bathroom was down to the studs on every side of the bathroom. I ripped out the cabinets, the drywall, the pink tile all over the bathroom (which I really loved but he hated) and I completely demolished the bathroom! 

We ran into a few issues with plumbing, we reran all of the wiring and redid the tile, green board, drywall, cabinets, and plumbing! 

I now have a beautifully tiled bathroom with a bathtub suitable for sick bubble baths as well as lazy Sunday afternoon suds...

AFTER REMODEL


I will say, we even got rid of the pink toilet and I could not be more excited even though the process was absolutely heart breaking! This project took approximately a weekend to finish and the results are amazing! A total upgrade to our 50's home and the resale value already increased with that weekend project.

Dora's Pizza

Since I have switched to eating Gluten Free eating out has been quite a task. It is usually stressful and I am often filled with regret after eating out. However, that is just not the case here! My husband and I don't often eat out. We choose to cook at home and take our meals on the go but sometimes we enjoy a nice date night out, family gathering, or already made food on the go (especially to football games!) What is Dora's Pizza? Believe it or not... Dora's Pizza is not solely a pizza restaurant! They serve salads, subs, pizza (that is worth the travel if you are not from around here...) and of course some amazing pasta dishes!!! Dora's is a small family owned and run restaurant located in Haines City, FL right next to the Haines City Police Station and only a few minutes from I4. If you are a local or have been to the restaurant more than one time, the owners will surely recognize you and give you that friendly small town welcome! I highly recommend taking ...
