FINALLY

We went from this to

To this

Our bathroom remodel is finally finished.

I still have to get some decor items for the walls and I am not overly happy with the towels that I bought. Need a few more trips to TJ Maxx!

I love it and now want to redo every room in the house.

We are going to start on the other bathroom soon. At least it will only be bead board (we have enough left over), paint, vanity and mirror.

THE REMODEL CONTINUES

I am so ready for this to be over! I have been spoiled during this remodel. I haven't had to do anything but some clean up each night. Scott and Papa have done it all.
We were disappointed to not be able to put our Christmas decor up on Friday. This is the first time in 11 years that we haven't ordered pizza and put the tree up.
Hoping by the weekend we can put it up though.

This is where it stands tonight. It doesn't look like much has happened but we had a full working weekend in that room.

Day 8

The vent fan was installed.

Walls prepped, taped and sanded

New sheetrock hung.

Day 9

Plumbing under the house done

Sheetrock mudded and sanded again.

Orange peel texture sprayed on

Day 10

PAINT

This is the new paint color. I just love it. Can't remember the name but I will find my card and let you know. Scott calls it coffee with cream. Papa and Scott painted teh ceiling and walls today.

I had to show you the mishap! Remember when I showed you where Scott came thru the ceiling. Well it is all fixed up and you would never know it happened. The whole is the return air vent. I am looking for a new grille for it but having no luck. I might have to paint the old one.

Scott told me the tile guy might start tomorrow. That would be so wonderful. He will be doing the tile on the floors and shower area plus the bead board and trim.

I am ready for some normallcy!!!!

I haven't even had time to really get to read blogs.

The end is near!

Blessings,

Pam

BATHROOM REMODEL

WE ARE CRAZY!!!

Yes we started a bathroom remodel the week before Thanksgiving!

Well it really wasn't our choice but the tub wasn't draining and we were planning to do the remodel sometime so it just seemed best to do it all at once instead of fixing one problem just to tear it all out again later.

Our house is 50+ years old so it was TIME

Our progress in photos.

Day One

The before, see that spot in the middle of the wall above the tub? There used to be a handle with a soap dish. Coco pulled it off a couple of weeks ago and we had plastic ducked taped over the sheet rock. Another reason it needed attention.

I have despised this tile forever. Ugly peachy color all the way around the room.

Day 1

1. Total Demo

2. Purchased subflooring and bathtub

Day Two 

Scott worked hard getting it to this point. He had to scrap up the subfloor after taking everything out.

End of day 2. Too much money spent. We went and purchased everything we need and a couple of wants. I really wanted this curved shower rod. We debated on getting doors but this will be our only tub and I didn't want it to feel really closed in. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Day 2

1. Removed subfloor

2. Installed new subfloor

3. Sanded walls

4. Purchased everything else we will need

Day three

A little mishap in the hall when Scott was in the attic installing the vent fan. His foot came through the ceiling.

I get 2 new plug ins. One more in the bath and one outside in the hall. Now I will have to find some cute lamps to put in.

The room looks the same.

Day 3

1. Removed gas stove insert.

2. Installed and wired 3 plugs

3. Prepped for the vent fan (the one we bought was broken)

Scott says we might get the tub installed tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

REALLY BEHIND

I have been a bad bad blogger. Life has just been way to busy and not much in the way of fun adventures.

Last weekend I did get to go hang out with my sister and a couple of her friends.

We planned a craft night and she asked me to come teach them how make tassels.

These are 3 that we did. Laura did the Santa on the left and I did the dress form and rooster for my house. I had a great time crafting since I hadn't been doing anything crafty and fun in sooooooo long!

Tammy Lou (my sister) picked out 2 super cute ornaments to make her tassels. I love the scarecrow and the snowman.

Tammy Lou has been doing lots of decorating and redoing around her house. I took a few photos to share.

The mantle in her den is looking great.

Love this desk she found on craigslist and all the fall decor.

I loved this little vignette on the end of her bar. She has some really cute fall decor.

One wall of her scrapbook room. She and her friend Laura went in and totally reorganized it. Now we just need to make good use of it and do some scrapbooking.

We are in the middle of a bathroom remodel. We started on Friday night.

So far we (i use that term losely as I am blogging while Scott and Papa work)

Completely empty room.

Old tile on walls removed

Durarock subfloor put down
