Bathroom is Done

Everything worked great,except the drying rack. It was about 2 inches to wide for the wall. So, when we redo the full bath it will go in there.

Thought you all will enjoy seeing all the pictures, from start to finish, that I took.

Husband starting to paint the trim.

Trim done, medicine cabinet down 

Ugly sink

Close up so  you can REALLY see how bad it is.

Hubby and I painted the walls.
Didn't have to go to the floor
because it will be covered with Bead Board.

Ugly sink still in but SO HAPPPY with the paint.

Not sure if you can tell but the bathroom paint matches the Master Bedroom.
Bedroom color looks lighter because of the three windows in it.

Washer plumbing done and Bead Board installed in washer corner.
this made me SO HAPPY too . . .
I knew I was getting exactly what I had imagined.

Old ugly sink out and new vanity and faucet in.
Found out I had bought a faucet where the opening for the water to come out
lights up with a blue LED light.
The box said something about LED on it but I thought it referred to some new plumbing thing
Was Jerry (or remodeler) surprised when he turned the water on.
So were Gene and I when we saw it.

See the glow around the end?
I filled a paper cup for the niece.
When I was filling it the water had a blue cast.
When I tured off the water, the blue disappeared.
I told her it was magic (she will be 5 in June).
She didn't believe me but it kept doing it so she was p uzzled.

Indy approves and Gene is checking out the ED lighting :)

Bead Board completed.

Finished.
The washer and dryer are Maytag's "This Twin" set.
The door was about 24.5 inches (with trim removed)
and the washer/dryer was 23.75 inches.
Whew! Was I ever lucky.
The lamp has a soft pink glow. It was a wedding gift from
my mother-in-law's only brother so it is very special.

I forgot . . besides the Washer and Dryer (they hold about half of a normal load which works for us) which are PERFECT, the cat litter box fits between the toilet and washing machine. I was worried about where it was going to go and and I was lucky it fit back in the room it had been in.

Catch Up

Last post was March 29 . . . seems like forever ago.

Still feel under pressure to get things done, yet no where to put what I get done.

Half bath make over starts tomorrow. The door are narrow and I wanted a stackable washer/dryer to put in there. (The actual washer hook up is in the basement but I refuse to do steps anymore.) Jerry, who has done all of my remodeling here in Logan, took the measurements and then went to the Maytag store to see if we could make one fit.


Found one that is 23 7/8 inches at the widest. The door is 24 inches.  Jerry said it might fit through but he thought he would take the inside trim off and then be here when it is delivered so, if it is still tight, he'll take the wood work around the door off if needed. 

I told him, "Just grease up the door and push hard!"

I never wanted one like this. I always thought I wouldn't have room to get stuff in and out. I was amazed at the room this one has.

I will still need to go to the laundromat for bedspreads, but I'm fine with that :)

I want beadboard around the bottom. This is the third bathroom I

have remodeled and I have had Jerry put this in each of them. This is the 1st time I have used white, though. 

However, with a small bathroom I thought this might make it look larger.


When we went to pick this up we went looking to see what else we could find. Here is what we came home with:

Since we only have room for a 24" vanity and 24" medicine cabinet I was lucky to find two that are perfect.

I like a taller spout in the bathroom so my hands fit under it better AND if I want to fill a normal glass it will fit under it.

This is something I have had for over a year. It will go above the toilet, to the left of the medicine cabinet. I saw it, fell in love with it and it will be PERFECT for those things you want to drip dry.

Now to see how quickly it goes together. Jerry and an electrician were here yesterday to decided what they both need to do (we don't have the correct electricity outlets in the room for the dryer.) The electrician happened to be a former student. As I was cleaning out the area in the garage he would have to go to to check the electric box I yelled back in to him, "I treated you nice in Middle School didn't I?" He laughed so much!
