The bathroom...

...was for sure our biggest and "toughest" project in the house...

the vanity was too large for the space...the floor was ugly...the wallpaper (in the bathroom!  I couldn't stand it) was peeling and gross...the toilet was super low...all kinds of problems...so it was of course the first  project we really tackled...besides cleaning out of course...





So like I said....ugly everything....when we started....then:


We started taking stuff apart...






Once the room was empty, we put in a new floor:
before...
after...
and a brand new toilet...

a new exhaust fan...
a new vanity:
some new hardware:
...and a new light and mirror (to replace the crappy medicine cabinet)...

(that's our friend Evan helping us out one day...)

then I stripped the rest of the wallpaper:




then, the painting started:



and with a few finishing touches, we had a new bathroom:
