Bathroom Progress

Now that the house is painted, we're able to start putting stuff back "together".  The bathroom is 95% finished. I bought some shelves months ago, way before the pipe ever broke in February.  I want to put them over the toilet, so that's really the only thing left to do in the bathroom.

This is the bathroom before.  Ugly plain cabinet, ugly light.

This is the bathroom the night the pipe burst. Water everywhere, insulation everywhere.  The water ruined the bottom of the vanity, so it had to be replaced, along with the flooring.  Since we had everything torn apart already, we went ahead and bought a new light fixture. I hated that cheapo one that was in there before, and I had been wanting to replace it.
















Here it is pre-floor replacement.

And the new floor. It's pretty similar to what was there before, but nicer.


New floor

And here's the after!

The paint color is Sherwin Williams Grayish.  It looked slightly violet the first few days, but we're used to it and it's looking gray now.

I just can't wait to get the shelves up and put some decorative stuff on them to add in a little color.

House Progress

Progress has been slower than I thought, cleaning up and repairing from terrible-no good-very bad issue we had this winter (burst pipe).  We had the drywall repaired in mid March, and we've been making slow steps forward since then.

We have done some work in the bathroom and basement, but I want to wait to show you those once the rooms are completed.  We just had the hardwood floors refinished last week.  The work started on Tuesday, and wrapped up on Friday.  They sanded and applied 3 coats of polyurethane on the floors. We had to stay out that whole week, and were able to start moving stuff back in on Sunday.

Here are some before pictures.  It's pretty hard to tell condition of the floor in pictures

I'd say we need a better pad under the rug, don't you think?
























During- Sanding!

And after:

It's so shiny and smooth now!  We're trying to be super careful to not scratch the floors. Not the easiest thing when you have 2 kids and 2 dogs!

The painter is coming this week, so hopefully I'll have more finished pictures soon!
