As mentioned recently, we have a third baby on the way and quite honestly, I am just trying to figure out where to put them all. Yes, that’s right - I’m gonna have to start stacking them soon. We live in a recently updated three bedroom + two bath and we are quite happy with it, until family comes to visit.

So I have rekindled my desire to turn our two-car detached garage into a sort of Guest House for visiting family. My plans are to turn it into a multi-functional space with either a half bath or three quarter bath. This should be pretty easy since we had rough plumbing done when we re-did the concrete flooring in the garage. The half-bath is the obvious answer (we can comfortably achieve this even doing a permitted renovation to the garage) or throw one of those nice shower cubicles in the corner of the bathroom and achieve a three quarter bath (by definition a 3/4 bath has a shower stall, a half bath has only a toilet and a full bath has a tub). The one illustrated above comes to us from TrueShopping.Com, they have a beautiful selection of nice doors and shower stalls.

They say it takes a village to raise a child - well we creating our village right now, it seems. This seems altogether worth it since my in-laws help us so much with the babies. And when the conversion is complete they will have their very own backyard retreat.
