Now That's a Stinky Job

My mom was coming to ring in 2010 with us so I wanted as many things as possible to be perfect.  I had just finished our guest bedroom and it was about that time when I'd start itching for a new project.  The decision to demolition our hall bathroom was made 10 days before my mom was expected to arrive.  All I had to do was get Rob on board...and being the good hubby that he was, he was game.

Here's our bathroom on December 21, 2009:
This is the old stinker

Ugly old sink and counter top

God awful paint and border
Here's a couple demolition shots:


At the time we were working on this bathroom I didn't know I'd be blogging about my home improvement adventures - so my apologies for not providing step-by-step instructions and pictures.  I'd love to answer your questions about what we did and how if you'd like to shoot me an email :)



Here's our bathroom on December 29, 2010:
THAT'S RIGHT...WE DID IT!!!!  EIGHT DAYS OF HARD WORK WELL PAID OFF.










Quick run down of what we did:
 
We smashed the old tile flooring and literally beat down the old wood cabinet with a hammer (great stress reliever).  Then, we spackled, and spackled, and spackled, and spackled and sanded even more.  Next, we painted.  After that we installed new tile flooring.  Finally, we installed a new towel rack, light fixture, cabinet and sink, mirror and toilet (pee-you).

  5. I'm visiting from "Before and After" and I love what you've done! Awesome job and fabulous taste!!
    We've been working on our Masterbath for a few MONTHS and it's STILL not complete.. ugh, but at least it's functional again.
    May I ask where you found the floral relief over the toilet?
    I'm a new follower of yours and I'm looking forward to your projects!

  6. Love what you did with this bathroom! I saw it on Better After. The granite countertops look so much better than the red laminate. I also really like the art above the toilet. Cute!

  7. Thanks everyone! The flower picture was purchased at.....Marshalls. It was about a year ago so I think you'd be lucky to find another one.

  10. Hi Jenni! Thanks for checking out my blog! The paint I used in the bathroom is Valspar and it's named "Wool Coat." I really love it.
