New bathroom! We did it ourselves!

What started off as a one day paint job turned into a pretty big project.

We ended up:

  • painting the entire bathroom
  • stripping the old 5 layers of paint off of the vanity (the wood thing underneath the counter top) and then sanding it down
  • painting the vanity
  • getting a new granite countertop
  • buying a new brushed aluminum faucet and matching fixtures
  • removing the old mirror that took up the entire wall and replacing with a nice framed mirror
  • Redoing the plumbing underneath the sink (it was all old and nasty)

It took us 2 weeks and we were barely able to finish it one hour before family came over for Elise’s birthday party.

This is how the bathroom looked when we moved in.

This is the bathroom after all of our hard work. New counter top, new sink, new knobs on the vanity, new faucet.

You can see our new mirror here

New shower curtain to match our new color theme of the room. Nadine framed some really great photos she's taken at various beaches.

    Nice man, I love watching that show “10 grand in your hand” on the DIY network… makes me wish I had a house and loads of money sitting around.

    You’re gonna be living in there anyways, because when you come visit we’ll be eating some serious garbage every day!

    Haha yeah man! I live by DIY network. You ever watch any of the Amy Matthews shows? She is sometimes a hottie.

    I was a big fan of paige davis back in the day. I haven’t seen all of the shows, I play too much videogames to catch any tv. I just watch what girlfriend likes, i’m a big fan of “CLEAN HOUSE” too. Shit’s hilarious.

    The wife used to watch that show religiously. But now I think she’s gotten to the point where she’s seen all of them already!
