So since I should be doing a million other things (planning a Girl Scout Daisy meeting, getting tax papers together, sewing, making phone calls, you know the usual), I'm obsessing over our main level bathroom redo. I'm not calling it a remodel since we're not replacing anything major like the floor or vanity. The big changes are stripping the wallpaper, painting, and installing a shower curtain rod. Who has a shower/tub without a shower curtain (or door) in the first place? See the picture below, it's a piece of fabric attached all the way to the ceiling that only covers half the tub. Madness...
In the replacement department, I'm buying a new mirror, faucet, towel bar, drawer pulls, and light fixture. And I'll probably switch out the brass toilet flushie thing since the new stuff will be brushed nickel. (Like our upstairs bathrooms.) I'd love to switch the brass pieces in the shower too but that seems like more work (and money) than I can put into this at the moment. The goal is to stay under $200 for all of the above. Anyone have a spare Lowes coupon I can have? Pretty please with sugar on top?
Oh oh, I already have the new shower rod, curtain, paint, and linens (see the towels?) so they don't count in the $200. I've actually had all of that since July... Change takes time, man! And the thought of "stripping wallpaper" has kinda slowed me down.
Before:
Look for the after picture before the end of January! (Or February. Or March. Or if experience has taught me anything, the month before we sell the house like 5 years from now...)
