Yesterday was the start of our bathroom renovation. I talked about this awhile back and posted "before" pictures, which I will put up again once the transformation is completed. My husband installed our new toilet (yes...exciting, I know) yesterday. He got the old blue rusted sink out and has been preparing the area for the new one. We found some old tile behind the sink, which was the same lovely shade of blue/green, guess that was the "thing" back in the 60's. I am super glad to know that wasn't covering all the walls. At least the previous old couple did us a service to have that removed prior to selling.
Though it is only a toilet and vanity, I am still super excited about these changes to my home. I feel like each little thing we do in there is a HUGE step towards the final goal. We have a big project to replace the tub and add in real plumbing for a shower. We would love to tile the shower with slate and put in a new window. We actually have a window to install, but it isn't the same size so it will take some work to make the changes. I think in the end it will be quite a costly project to do the tub, so it waits. However, the vanity and toilet get us one step closer to the end result, which totally excites me. Plus, to no longer have to look at that nasty rusty sink will be a beautiful thing!
Pictures to come later today...I HOPE!
Have a Cozy Weekend.

nice. my wife has been after me about redoing the bathroom...
Well, we just bought our house about a year ago and the bathroom was the real "problem" when we came it. Very old and had no shower. We sorta jimmy rigged a shower to tide us over, which acutally has worked pretty well for us. We have just reached the point where it's time to start making the changes. If we ever want to re-sell this place we will need to have the bathroom looking much better than it did when we bought it.
