We are soooo close. After 5 weeks we are almost there. Our entryway/bathroom remodel is almost done. I cannot wait to have it done and over with!!!! I'm sick of plastic taped floors and paper taped trim and paint clothes and paint buckets and mess everywhere. I don't know which makes me more excited-the mess being gone or the actual finished rooms. I love, love, love how they have turned out. As soon as I get everything back together, I will share photos. Here is what we have done:
Entryway
Whew!!! It is looking so good. I feel like a kid at Christmas.
Bathroom
- re-tiled the entire room...shower, floor, walls, sink counter top (this also entailed rebuilding the outer shower wall and strengthening the ceiling and replacing the drain and shower pan)
- removed wallpaper
- removed the popcorn off of the ceiling
- textured and painted the walls and ceilings
- painted and added pretty touches to the cabinet
- new light fixture, toilet, shower fixtures, sink and sink fixtures
- new light switches and switch plates
- new fan
- removed tile floor and replaced with wood floor
- re-textured and painted the walls
- painted the ceiling
- replaced door handles, locks and hinges on front door, closet door, garage door, bathroom door, and basement door
- painted front door black
On the wall next to the garage door we have been recording our heights for the past few years. Even Teddy has her height recorded.
Ideally, I would have liked to have kept it forever, but...my room makeover would have looked rather odd. So we had to paint over it. Actually the texture wiped it out first. Here's a bit of our family history hidden behind texture and paint on the wall of our home. It is heartwarming to know that it IS still there, just hidden behind a layer of mud and color.
So before Stan the man (our painter and my mom's husband) came the next day to cover it all up, we recorded our heights one last time. Chris measured 5'11". Me, 5 foot 1 and 1/2 inches...did I shrink or something? Averi four eleven and a half...she's catching up with me. Cali measured in at 4 foot 3 and 3/4 inches. And Teddy is 1'4". Awww!
What is some hidden treasure around your house?
