As I mentioned here, we had our bathroom re-done. Since we were buying porcelain tiles for the bathroom anyway, we just bought a little extra and had the same flooring installed in our foyer.
The construction made last week go by really slowly, and Claire was not terribly fond of all of the banging and sawing, but let me tell you, it was worth it!
The old bathroom, complete with yellow counter (including seashell-shaped – say that 5 times fast – sinks), toilet, and tub à la 70′s:
FYI - the dark specks in the bottom of the tub were from the henna tattoo (you have to brush off the excess once it has dried) - lest you think I never clean
The new bathroom:
Counter and sinks installed by my hubby!
I had a nice soak in there last night, complete with Epsom bath salts!
And the foyer, which is now completely updated thanks to the new flooring:
A few weeks ago, we also changed the lights in the kitchen and dining areas.
The old kitchen light didn’t bother me as much as it did Neal, who really seemed to detest it. I’m sure it also bothered our tall friends!
The light in the dining area was not our style at all, and while we use the ceiling fan in our room and occasionally in Claire’s room, we never did in here.
The new kitchen light is not only obstacle-free for our giant tall friends, but it also made the kitchen seem larger.
And the new light, complete with dimmer switch for nice romantic dinners, is much more elegant.
As nice as it is to do updates, I hope that’s it for renovations for a little while!
The house looks really great although I liked your old bathroom sinks. The lights in the dinning room and kitchen look pretty spiffy as well. Good job and I’m sure you are both very happy with the final the results.
It looks really good. I bet you are glad to get it done before Christmas. Your hubby is very talented.I liked the old color too but the new is awfully nice, more modern.
I’m not a big fan of yellow, so I’m definitely happy, lol!
