Bathroom Renovation

We just celebrated our 2 year anniversary in our home! Before we moved in we painted, removed carpet, refinished hardwood floors and painted out all the kitchen cabinets. And that pace has continued during our two year tenure. We have worked quite abit on the outside (I will post pictures later) and it is starting to really take shape. One of our most recent renovations is the hall bath. Two words that should scare any homeowners with eyes to renovate "Plaster Walls"! We took the bathroom down to stud, and took out the dated tile floor, which included 3" of concrete underneath that we had to remove. Let's just say the sledge hammer I have complete respect for! Here is a picture of the bath right before we closed. Note: the cat and furnishing belong to the prior owner, You gotta love the ivy wallpaper.


And now, here is our bath! Actually, here is our daughter's bath! Same footprint totally different look.


We painted her new vanity in apple green with a tobacco glaze, that coordinated with the shower tile.


We have ordered a clear glass door for the shower and then the room is done.


Here is a close up of the glass tile in the shower. Also below is the cabinets across from the sink. What a difference trim and a fresh coat of paint make!


We still have two other bathrooms to renovate, but we are waiting until the memories of this renovation fade just alittle, in the mean time we are getting ready to knock out the wall between the kitchen and dining room!! I can't wait!
