Upstairs Bathroom

Well for the most part our little bathroom face-lift is over. There are a couple things that need to be touched up, but I think it turned out great. I loved having a shower door, but that thing was so ugly and nasty that it needed to go. For now the curtain is great, we will probably get a new shower door in the future but like everything else they are expensive. I really like our shower curtain though (of course, because I picked it out!). Its the same one we used in our apartment (both in GR and the one we had here), so I was excited to welcome it back into our lives again.

This are pictures from our home inspection (a year ago already!!!):

These are the new updated pictures, the things we did are:

• 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint
• Sanded, primed, painted vanity & light fixture frame
• Took out shower door, replaced with curved shower rod and curtain
• Painted trim white
• Took down spindles (I called them jail bars)
• New hardware on vanity

I was really nervous about the brown color for the vanity, when it first went on it looked way to dark. But I am used to it now and others have assured me it looks good, so overall I am very very happy with the project. We pretty much put the same color on the walls that was there before (left over paint we had from the 2 extra bedrooms). The walls were so nasty Alec put 2 coats of primer and then 2 coats of paint. It looks SO much better!

So that was our little project that lasted longer than anticipated, but don't they all. He had to do some patching and sanding as well, which means dry-wall dust EVERYWHERE!

We have been in our house now 11months, April 30 will be 1 year. Time flies!!! Some days I feel like we moved in years ago, but other days I feel like we just moved in and I am still unpacking and organizing. We are looking forward to some visitors this summer, and would love to have more!! Especially with me on summer break from school.....bring on the visitors! Until summer though my life is nuts with school, so for the next 6 weeks (yep that is all that's left this semester!) I am going to be studying and homeworking.
