Same Bathroom, New Look!

Oo, La La... This was an exciting project... Justin and I were happy to see the pink tile go. As always, one little project suddenly turns into something bigger... more time and... 'Oo, we should get new lights..." and "lets rip this out" etc. etc. So here's a few pictures of our last week... and our newly transformed bathroom...

BEFORE:
Another high five to my handy house man, J-dawg Justin... He worked really hard to get it to the point that we are not embarrassed anymore to have people use our bathroom... :) It's just nice to update things every... you know... 30 years. Nice thing for us is that the shower was re-done like a year before we moved in. So, other than the vanity... which works (for now) everything's pretty new! :)
More awesome pink tile.
Justin saved one if the tiles, probably to show people...hehe... I might frame it and hang it somewhere in our house... just for fun.
After the tile came off... hours of scraping 30 year old glue followed this picture.
Wow, bye bye glue.
This was one messy bathroom after that scrape down. In the voice of Ernest P. Wheral-- "EEeeeeewwwwwah" Anyone?? OK, maybe that's a joke only my Dad will get...
By the look on Justin's face (below)... you'd never guess that this was one of his favorite projects we've done in the house. Probably because he did the whole thing by himself, and it only took a few days. I told him to do whatever he wanted, this was his 'baby'! He picked the color, and the new lights and towel racks all by himself, and kept it "Extreme Home Makeover" secret-like from me till it was all finished! It was so fun!
All smooth and primed, ready to paint!

AFTER:
TA-DA! I'd have to say, I'm impressed! To some it may seam a little drastic from the light pink... but I LOVE IT! Esp. coming from the hallway with the dark wood in the hallway... and it goes well with the other colors in our house. Pictures never tell it like it is in person and neither do the little paint cards at Home De Pot. It's like a brown... with a hint of olive green... it's really cool. We'll need to 'dress' it up a little with some art. That will be fun. OH, I'm so happy it's not PINK anymore! Whoopy!

It looks great! I WISH my husband was into home improvement...

And my mother always says the most expensive phrase during a home project is "while we're at it...."

So true.

LOVE IT!! And I'm jealous - while my bathroom is fully functional, it's fully not finished... I'll get around to it one of these days. I didn't have pink tile, but a lovely baby blue tile with pink paint - woooohoooo!! All for the updating once every 30 years or so!!
