Bathroom Makeover

Kent had a few days off after Christmas, and decided that his project was going to be to re-do our main bathroom. We all know what happens when he gets a bee in his bonnet- he can't move on until it is DONE. Not almost done, or pretty close, DONE. Which is nice for me, because he doesn't drag things out like I do. We are really happy with how everything worked out, and it didn't cost much. It feels like a whole new place. This is a rundown of the things he did:

He painted all of the cupboards black and spray painted all of the hardware a brushed nickel.





We used to only have the bathtub in there, which made it hard to not have a shower upstairs. So he made a shower by putting waterproof stuff up on the wall, and put an L-shaped shower rod up, with a makeshift hand held shower.





He replaced the light fixture, and framed the mirror.





I added some decorations.





And made some curtains.




And Viola, a new to us bathroom. Now the kids have to keep it clean. That might just be the hardest remodel of all!

Catch Up

I know that I have been bad with blogging. I uploaded a lot of pictures a while ago, and meant to type words onto them, it just has never happened. So I typed a bit on them, and I am going to post all of them so that I will be somewhat caught up. I really want to keep kind of current because it is a good way to keep a family journal. I just need to be better about it. Sorry about all the old posts.
