pretty potty

IMG_4654_bathroom.jpg

It's been a while since I've shown any real before/after photos, and there's a good reason why. I've pretty much stalled on my progress. So the sad part is I'm showing you an 'after' that isn't even a real after photo. But that's a minor technicality...

As you can see the before was glorious, with it's dark wood, giant vanity and missing toilet. The cabinet was truly a thing of beauty along with the pineapple themed wallpaper. Not to mention that amazing faux brick laminate flooring. Why would we even change a thing!!

Well the after required wallpaper removal, wainscot application (in horizontal lines to avoid seams, but I personally like the look with all the horizontals in the room...), paint, a new strategically placed mirror, new sconces, a new toilet, new floor, new trim, etc etc. It's safe to say we changed every single surface, because we did.

Still waiting to be done: corner round in the edges of the wainscot, new edging trim over the wainscot, baseboards and a new window. And THEN it will be DONE. For now it's in a lot better shape than it was. To quote wee Kali when the potty was in the between stage: 'You have a yucky bathroom!' She was right! But I don't feel that way anymore....
