Finally finished

The bathroom redo that started 5 or so years ago. . . . . (kind of before pictures. when we bought the house, this bathroom was BUSY with white and blue wallpaper and the cabinet color matched the toilet.)



You see. . I painted the cabinet about a year or two after we moved in. When I painted it, I ripped out the boards that went around the tile counter top, and that included the back splash. We were planning on putting a new counter on it. Well, it turned out that our bath cabinet is custom made, so there are no pre-fabricated counter tops that will fit it. So since it was not a quick fix, and we didn't know to do, we left it. And soon after, started on our 3 year addition. Needless to say, this bathroom was put on the back burner for the next couple of years. Yes, the ripping drywall complimented the room nicely. Another added bonus: We textured the walls in this bathroom when we ripped out all the wallpaper. We planned on putting up bead board so we only textured half the wall. You can imagine what a beauty this bathroom was. PLUS it is the only bathroom on the main level of the house.  :) So any visitors got to spend time in this place.
Now that the addition is finished, we have been finishing all our little projects. After several months, this bathroom is finally complete. Well, almost. I still have some decorating to do. :)




Maybe a nice little metal thing above the toilet. And bright blue mats for the pictures. . .
