ALMOST THERE

BEFORE

AFTER

We are almost done with the bathroom remodel.

We still need to do some touch up painting and install the vanity when it is finished. We had to order a custom cabinet to fit our plumbing. It worked out better and we will get a little bit bigger one and a cabinet over the toilet.

I am loving it so far. The new tub is not really bigger than the old one but it seems alot bigger when you are showering!

So grateful to be home again.

Very THANKFUL for wonderful In-laws that put up with us and helped with the work for 3 weeks!

We are very BLESSED

We are working on putting up some Christmas tonight. I am disappointed that I am not putting all our trees and decor up. I don't want to put it all out just to take it down in a couple of weeks. I will be working on making it feel more like Christmas this week.

DAY I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE

I really thought I would be back in my bathroom tonight. The tile guy tells us we can't use it until Friday night.

UGGGGGGGGGGGG

This is driving me up the wall.

Rhonda asked if the beadboard was board or wallpaper..

It is actual beadboard with the baseboards and chair rail on top. I love it.

He got it all up today.

Scott will get the toilet and fixtures in on Saturday.

We will still have to wait on the vanity but at least I can take a bath.

I might just get some champagne to celebrate!

I will probably need it after all the clean up I have to do!

Oh Happy Days!

SNEAK PEEK

We are almost there!

We ran into another problem yesterday when measuring for the vanity. We have to get one custom made to fit our pipe situation! It won't be finished until the week of Christmas :(

Surprisingly it actually cost less than the premade ones you can buy. The top might be another story so we shall see.

DAY 14

Boy I will tell you, I sure didn't think this bathroom was going to take over 2 weeks to complete.

I was so excited when I came home today.
There is tile on the walls and floors. PTL

Don't worry I am not having red paint around my tub. LOL

This is a water proofing thing he painted on before the tile.

He left the bottom so that the top could dry and wouldn't slip down .

The guy that is doing our tile has been doing it for 40+ years, he might be a little slower but when he is done it will be wonderful.

the floor in the process. I am loving the tile I picked out.

Today we had our office Christmas lunch. We played White Elephant and look what I came home with!

Won't that come in handy cleaning my new tile (and my old)...

So happy with it.

Tomorrow begins our Basketball season. For the next 10-12 weeks our Saturdays will be spent in a gym somewhere watching Coco play ball. She made the A team.

It amazes me her love for sports. I was not a sporty kind of girl but I am glad that she is. I will spend every weekend doing this so that she can play as long as she gives it 100% and she always does. I truly believe that team sports teaches children so many things. Especially with her being an only child.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Small Bathroom Redo

A while ago I showed you some items that I was going to use in our half bath. Finally I have taken photos of the end result. This bath is between my scrapbook room (not finished) and the laundry room so we don't use it alot. Coco has decided it is hers and she uses it some.

The tile in here is pastel pink and green from the 60's! I have always wanted to remodel it but just never got around to it and now with my job loss of 8 weeks, it will be awhile before we can do it. I just decided to play with what I had. I found most everything at Hobby Lobby for 50-80% off. I used hot pink, lime green and black. I think it turned out so cute. Someday we will trade my scrap room with Coco's room and she can have this bath off her bedroom.

This hangs behind both doors when they are open. Coco can use this for her robe or whatever.

This medicine cabinet and sink really need to be gone. The little picture on the left is a card I picked up in Destin, FL and just put it in a frame.

Mistreatment curtain and ugly taupe blinds. Those I change soon. Need to put on Wal-mart list.

Need to put photos in those frames. The little cup holder on the back of the toilet, Coco is using for her necklaces.

I hope you enjoy my tour of our bath.

Have a great weekend.

Blessings,

Pam

Bathroom Redo

Here is my bathroom with all my deals from TJ Maxx. I wish I had a before photo b/c it is very different. Our house was built in the 60's and our bathrooms are the one of the last projects that we want to remodel. This will get us by until then. You can't really see but the colors in the shower curtain are chocolate, peach, blue and cream. It really matches that peach colored tile from the 60's....

We have had a great day. After church Coco and I came home for lunch and then I took a 2 hour nap while she played games on the computer and got into my make-up. It was so rainy and nasty I just wanted to sleep.

We started Summer Reading Club at church tonite and it was a success. We don't usually have a big crowd on Sunday nights so this will hopefully get some kiddos to come. It will also help keep the kids reading during the summer.

Tomorrow is Coco's first day of summer break, she is at Nana's and I think they might take her swimming or skating. She will stay with them every Monday. They usually try to take her to something every week which she loves. I start getting the guilty feelings about not being at home with her when summer comes around. But that isn't in our near future at this point. :(

Everyone have a great week. I will be a the ball field and trying to plan end of year Girl Scout events before everyone leaves for vacation.
