The Bathroom.

As promised here are pictures of the bathroom pre, post and during work. It's still not done quite yet though. Here's the bathroom in all it's beige glory before we started:



The light fixture that came with the house was out of 1985. Mmm....wood panelling. The toilet holder was also wood. But the towel holder was a chrome/brass combo. Lovely.



When we took the mirror down we discovered a hidden medicine cabinet in the wall.



When we took out the vanity we discovered the previous flooring peeking through.



First coat of paint down. No more beige!



After we finished painting and went to put the new vanity in we discovered that it didn't fit. Our drain pipe comes out of the wall too low for the new cabinet. We thought the only option to keep the new vanity was to rip into the wall and redo the pipes about six inches higher. So says our friend, there is some kit you can buy to do the same thing, but on the outside of the wall. We're going to Home Depot this afternoon to verify. So, we still have the old vanity in there right now with no doors or drawers. The bathroom as it stands today:



My splurge.



We really like the orange bathroom. No regrets. I'll post pictures of the new vanity once we get that whole hoopla figured out.
