New Bathroom...

I keep forgetting to get "after" photos of my main floor bathroom and I thought I had better get some photos before the men in the family have time to mess things up!  I just LOVE the color of paint we went with.  It is a blueish green color.  The fixtures are bright white and the floor is beige...Shane picked this out and I really like it now that it is in!
We put in a whirlpool tub and I love how deep it is, really feels great when you have sore muscles. 

I fell in love with this vanity when I first saw it!  I first picked it out for upstairs but then when the time came we thought something larger would be better for the bathroom we all use every day but I had hopes to get this and it fit perfect here. 

I just added the rack behind the toilet, still not sure if I like it and it might not stay.  The new toilet has a way smaller tank then the last one did and we didn't move the drain pipe so there is a big gap between the toilet tank and the wall.  I thought a rack would help make that look better but now I worry it makes the small room look too crowded...  I am using the brown and blue-green towel sets I used in the downstairs bathroom at our last house for now and they look ok, hope to find a nice beige set to really look nice though.

Now that the holidays are over we will get started on my old office.  I was going to have it be Sky's room but the boys want to stay in the same room and make it a playroom for them.  We are thinking that will be a good idea but if they can not get along then they will have to be separated. 

Here is a look at the before pictures of the bathroom...
This tub could not be cleaned!  I scrubbed and scrubbed and yuck!




The vanity was just painted plywood and see the classy industrial soap dispenser?

All I can say is gross!  there was so much water damage in this wall when we started removing things!  I had started taking most of my showers at the YMCA.  When I showered here I took my glasses off at the door, made it better when I couldn't see it!

sorry bad photo but the floor was horrible too.  see the green color behind the toilet is where the brown flooring had been torn up.  The first time I saw this house I walked into this bathroom and there was a dead bird on the floor...that is all I thought about when I walked in here!!

One thing you don't see in the photos is that one wall had wood glued to it.  pieces of wood about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide...it was really strange!  Under the wood we found 3 layers of wall paper and a couple different colors of paint.  I know someday someone might look at what I have done and think "gross who would choose this" but I am so happy I could piddle!
