Anatomy of a bathroom makeover Part 2





















So we finished (mostly) our bathroom reno' and this is what we have to show for it. There are a few paint jobs needing to be done (powder room and bathtub wall) and the new flooring, that can be seen under the new sinks, eventually the entire floor will look like this. What ya think? Not bad for a couple ah amateurs eh?

Gimme my Money!

OK so I sent in my taxes waaaaay back in January so we can get in on that home-buyers tax credit. Yes, I would like my $8K in small unmarked bills thank you very much... I have called the IRS on several occasions to find out what the deal is.. After much holding and transferring and more holding and several different people, I was told look ma'am, they didn't even start processing them until April 15th... WHAAT!?!?! So who knows when we will get the money and continue in our quest to prettify our house.. Day Eleventy-million and the wait continues...

Anatomy of a bathroom makeover



So the hubby and I decided to make over our master bathroom this weekend. Shall we say we had NO IDEA the actual amount of time this would really take??? We figured, heck we both got a lil bit of know how, surely we can knock this right on out in a day right? WRONG! Lemme tell ya, we got an amazing amount of work done, BUT we still have some stuff tah' do. There is STUFF everywhere right now, but at least we have working sinks.. Our goal was to remove the builder grade single sink/counter/cabinet and replace it with dual sinks. We found some amazing free standing sink/cabinet sets with granite counters and we were SOLD. The install proved to be harder than we thought! We are still painting the walls and we need to install the new floor and mirrors, but otherwise it looks awesome! I will start posting pictures of all the remodeling we are doing. Hopefully it all turns out as awesome as I have it pictured in my head.
