Well past its prime...this horribly embarrassing excuse for a bathroom has got to go!!
I've spent 26 years scrubbing this bathroom weekly, and this is the best it looks!!!
Good-bye and good riddance!!!
Already looking better!
Moose and Macie have been unaffected by the commotion in the house, as long as they are allowed access to the kitchen.
Not so creepy looking now.
Uh-oh. This is not the color I was going for. It looked much more beige/tan on the paint chip and the sample board. Now it looks yellow on the walls! I'll have to pick out another color because this is not going to work.
It's beginning to look like a room again.
Tiling the walls. This is what caused me the most anxiety. It always looks so quick and easy on HGTV. But a lot of "downtime" goes into it. There is a lot of drying time between steps, and there were a few mishaps along the way. Two decorative tiles were missing when the order came in, so they had to be reordered. When they came in, one tile was not the right one, and the tiler broke the other tile as he was installing it. So more delays. And everything else...the final painting, the plumbing, and the electrical work...was dependent on the tile work being completed. Also, all of the demolition and other work had been completed during the weekdays while we were at work. So we weren't aware of the hammering, sawing, mixing, etc. But the tilers had to work over one weekend to make up for lost time, so it was an effort to keep the dogs under control, be calm while people were coming and going through the house, leaving doors open, flies coming in, etc. But well worth it in the end!
The tiling is almost done! Yay!
The plumbing work is complete. We have running water and a functioning potty again! Actually, three adults sharing one small bathroom wasn't too bad because Jim and I got dressed for work in the morning, and Justin cleaned up when he came home from work in the evening.
Getting close.
TAH DAH!!
