Bathroom remodel

Let's try this again... I finished the post the first time and all of the pictures disappeared. Sigh.

We were offered a discount on remodeling our lower-level bathroom if we did it in conjunction with our kitchen remodel (which starts next week). So we did. It's more than the bathroom in that we carried the tile down the hallway and into the closets and laundry room. To save even more money, we did the painting (hall, bathroom, closets, and laundry room) ourselves. And Hubby is doing the door/window trim and baseboards in all of those places except inside the actual bathroom. He is also replacing the doors on the furnace closet himself and we are painting all of the doors and replacing the door knobs and hinges ourselves. So that part is still in progress as we are weekend warriors. But it's coming along.

Yesterday, though, the bathroom was declared complete and we are able to start using it.

Here are some pictures of the process. I don't really have a true "before" picture. But let's just say it was very pink...

Perhaps there was an ice cream parlor in our bathroom in a previous life... this is the wall paper we found behind the mirror!

JMav LOVED destroying the bathroom!

It turns out that the door trim is mostly what holds the door frames in in our house...

BONUS! They fixed the big hole in the ceiling that's been there for years as a result of a roof leak. WOO HOO!
