the bathroom is FINALLY done!

We started remodeling the girls’ bathroom two years ago.  And while it’s been functional and mostly done for about 23 months, there was always something missing, or something I just wasn’t happy with.  But now, I can honestly say that it is done and I love it.

 

Here is the before…

and here is the after!

bathroom 1

bathroom 2

I painted the cabinet and added some cute hardware.  Also got a new faucet and accessories to match.

bathroom 5

And a new mirror and a new light fixture installed by my own personal electrician. :)

bathroom 3

And this was the kicker to finish it all off – that cute shelf L.J. made for the girls’ towels.  And the best part -

bathroom 6

they have their names on them so there is no longer any fighting over who gets the Mermaid towel and who gets the Cinderella towel.  My sweet neighbor made these for us, and I could just kiss her for it – bath time goes so much smoother now. Thanks again Laurel!!

bathroom 7

And just a couple more photos to show off L.J.’s mad skillz – these are some shower can lights he installed.  He also put four other regular cans in the other part of the bathroom.  When the girls are bathing they love to just turn on the cans above the tub and have the rest of the bathroom dark (they are on different switches).  They think it’s “magical.” :)

bathroom 8

Here is a shot of the crown molding.  I love that he can do that, I think it just adds so much.

bathroom 9

And one last one of the tile.  He’s Mr. Fancy Pants.  When he does it, he does it good. :)

I wish I felt the way I do about the bathroom about the rest of my house. :) One project at a time, I guess. On to the nursery!
