A Man-Bath.

Blake's man-bath is finally complete.

The bath we're dealing with is the most interesting room in our house.

The toilet was installed crooked and, for some reason or another, the shower stands one foot away from the wall rather than sitting flush against the corner of the room. There is no linen closet or shelving anywhere, making it a challenge to stock towels and provide Blake a place to put his man-things (shavers/razors/etc.).

Our goal was to create a more modern and functional man-bath with what we had been given.

For Blake's man-cave (the bath and basement) we really want to keep it Chicago themed.

Blake loves the Chicago Bears, and we both fell in love with the city after taking a trip there in the fall of 2009.

We painted his bathroom walls a really dark grey, reminiscent of the city. We then accented with white shelving (for his linens and man-things) and photographs of Chicago skyscrapers that Blake took during our trip. We also added just a hint of green with a bath rug and towels.

The bathroom is definitely more functional and we're both really happy with how it looks.

Its manly enough, but I don't mind spending time in there too.

Our next project is the basement.

I promised Blake a man-cave when we bought this house.

It's time we create that for him, and we're both very excited!
