Bathroom

The past few weekends we have worked on our bathroom...well...to be honest, I'm really of no help and Kevin does most of it on his own while I help out here and there whenever I'm needed.

Our house was built in the 1950's and although the cute little old people we bought it from had updated some things (central air, appliances, windows), the rest was hideous. The bathroom had baby blue tiles throughout and antique white finish. Gross. The shower pipes were outside of the wall. It was ridiculous.

Unfortunately, we've been really bad at taking before and after pictures so we don't have any pictures of what the house looked like prior to all of Kevin's hard work. His sweat equity. :)

Prior to these pictures, new floor tile has been installed, the baby blue tile on all the walls and in the shower removed, new toilet installed, walls partially primed and sanded...you get the idea...but this weekend has been devoted to painting.

Here's the befores: (Kevin says it has the feel of a prison cell. I think he's right)



Here are the afters:


HUGE IMPROVEMENT.

Obviously we haven't finished putting everything back, but it's on its way.

OH... and the BEST new purchase for our bathroom is definitely the dual shower. Specifically my fish shower head. :)



Next up...purchasing the new pedastal sink. :)
