FINITO...NEW BATH REVEAL

I am so happy to inform you all that the bathroom remodel is FINALLY done...FINITO, finished.  Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!

What started out as what I thought would be a somewhat easy, small, weekend (or two) project has taken several months to complete...

My nemesis, the mint green bathroom, has been on my HIT list since the day we bought our little house...mint green is NOT my favorite color...so this little project started with just a fresh coat of white paint on the cabinets, window pane and door, however it quickly turned into a full remodel when I discovered problems with a leaky toilet and loose floor tiles...I will spare you from reading all the gorey details and take you through a little pictorial starting with the REVEAL first...

I had trouble getting a BIG picture of the overall room because this bathroom is sooooo TINY...it is only 4 ft. wide by 6 ft. deep...(can something that small be considered a room...or maybe we should call it a water CLOSET)...LOL!!!

Now onto the before shots...

 Besides the toilet and sink, every square inch of this bathroom was green...YUCK!!!...Now let's start this remodel process...

 Stripping the cabinets...

Getting a fresh coat of paint...

Removing FIRST layer of flooring...

 ...and SECOND layer of flooring...

whew, was that a job!!...that was in JULY...and then I waited and waited and WAITED for the hubs to take out the toilet and sink so we could do the rest...he waited until TWO WEEKS before Christmas and on the spur of the moment decided to take the toilet and sink out...I came home from work to this...

Yuuuuuucccckkk...this was TWO WEEKS before Christmas...WHAT WAS HE THINKING?

So the process the race to get everything done before Christmas was on...and I'm glad to report that we made it...IN THE NICK OF TIME...here's the process...

 Old tile wall removed and new wall going up...sorry for the quality and lighting of pics...this was all done in the evening or night time hours...

Ahhh, starting to look better...new wall in, wallpaper up, $4.00 brushed nickel thrift store light fixture in and new flooring installed...

Board and battan done and now we are ready for the toilet and sink to go in...hmmm, we could've had this done WAAAAY back in July had the hubs not waited until December to tackle this...what can I say, he's a procrastinator...LOL.

Ahhhh, bathroom LOVE!!!
