We have a FULL Bathroom!!

Well, it has happened - we now have a half bath and a full bath. Joe finished up all the 'major' parts of the bathroom and now there are just some details left. Since this is Myra writing this - I can brag about what a FAB-U-LOUS job Joe did (the bathroom was completely his project). As you saw from a previous post he tiled the shower and did textured paint on the walls. Since then, he also tiled the floor. Moved the vanity from our half bath to this the full, fixed a leak in plumbing under the house and installed the new toilet. Not to mention all the little details...okay, enough of my bragging! Here are some more before/after pictures of the near finished bathroom...

From grafitti and holes in the wall (not to mention old toilet) to new textured paint, tiling and new toilet:



From layers and layers of wallpaper and an old light and sad looking vanity......


To a bathroom with our own fixtures and touch of style, or lack there of...you be the judge!



Well, that's all for now - more to come soon!!

Our smelly days are over ...

Well it's offical, the tile is up, the grout is dry and has been sealed. Now we can actually SHOWER at our house! Who knew we could go so long without a shower. Now its time to finish redoing the rest of the bathroom -- any volunteers?!. Heres some before and after of the shower! Take note of how excited Myra was the day we started ripping the shower apart!
