Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Wow, it's been literally months without an update here, but surely not for no good reason, right?  Right.

Seems like super old news now, but we've actually completed BOTH bathrooms and boy are they looking spiffy! The pictures here don't even reflect the final product - this actual post has been half-written since June when we were still waiting to have the little accoutrements put up, like towel bars and toilet paper holders... our gracious contractor refused to install those until we were able to "give it a test run", aka, sit on the bowl and determine how far we are willing to reach for the paperwork. This is now an interesting exploration in editing past content to sound current.

Anyway, here's a little time-lapse fun to see what has happened to them:

Bathroom #1 was this:

Tub of old.


Quick before (from hallway)

Previous vanity area

And has become this:

Tub and tile of new!


The after (from hallway)


New vanity area - A little rough around the edges without the
trimmings, but she's mostly there.

And then of course there's Bathroom #2 (AKA The Bathroom That Never Was... That Now Is!)

So... it used to look like this weird thing....

Then a little wall went up...


And behind that wall there's now this!

And this!

She needs a good scrub after being installed, and I'm still not sure that I did the right color, and her walls have left the bedroom much more cramped and spatially awkward than was ever anticipated, but I love her all the same!

And so that's pretty much everything up until early June. Since completing this job and starting the kitchen a few weeks later, there's been virtually no time to devote towards updating this thing, but I'm going to attempt to recapture the last couple of months over the next few posts.

  1. I LOVE the color in both bathrooms, but especially the one in the bedroom! Such a great, modern update. Looks fresh and new, but not too trendy. You guys did a fabulous job picking everything out. It really reflects you and your style. LOVE!!

  2. Thanks Jenny (always THE loyal reader!) I still can't help but wish for the yellow over the cerulean but I think I've calmed myself down by thinking I'll do the bedroom in yellow!
