Almost Finished

Bathroom Before (several before pics are available in previous posts):

Bathroom After:





I'm pleased how our little face lift came out. What we did:

- ripped out old shower doors & replaced with a vintage style l-shaped curtain rod
- repaired water damaged plaster
- replaced window
- sanded and painted all the woodwork & cabinet white
- repainted the walls to cover the institutional blue
- replaced the toilet with a new low flow model
- replaced the rotting mirror on the medicine cabinet
- replaced light fixture
- added beadboard

Still left to do:

- paint hall-side of door and reinstall vintage doorknob
- touch up of green paint
- paint new base under cabinet
- add robe hooks and large towel bar
- window treatment
- hem second shower curtain to complete the "surround"
- hang some artwork

:)

Yay.

Wainscoting

The wainscoting is coming out nicely. We still need to add the chair rail, caulk and paint it.

Early Spring

I love taking pictures of flowers, and with our new (to us) digital SLR camera, they come out sooo much better then with my old point and click!

On a less bright note, we have a hearty infestation of gray aphids. I've been pulling certain things that are crawling when I see them and hosing the rest with strong streams of water. And hoping that when I clear all the beds that they won't immediately return.
