On Being Homeowners. . .

I don't have before pictures of our bathroom.  Not only is it tiny, it was hideous!  Ugly green color and the "tiles" all around were actually stickers.  No wonder the shower wall was rotting. . . it wasn't being protected from moisture! 
We had to cut out the whole shower wall and put a new window in up higher.  And tile all around the bathtub.  Can I say how ecstatic I was when we finally had it finished!?  The wall was cut out in early June when the siding project started and everything was finished beginning of November.  In the meantime we had to shower with two shower curtains on both sides.  And for the 2 weeks it was being tiled, we had to shower at either mine or Brian's parents' house.  I love our bathroom now.  Even if it's the tiniest in the world.  One day, we'll expand it.  We didn't want to be hasty and then regret our plans later. 

 So there's the new tiling and window.  We also added a new detachable shower head and one of those curvy shower curtain rods.  So roomy in the tub now!

 All that "tile" you see are plastic stickers.  We only replaced the ones in the shower area since it was most damaging there.
Beautiful, eh?

So being perfectionists, that wasn't good enough.  We needed to paint it.  We've gone this far to improve it this much, why not go all the way (at least as much as our finances can handle, hehhehheh). 
There was too much white in the bathroom it was blinding!  So, naturally, we painted it BLACK!!!

 We added two cabinets and my handy husband put up a new light fixture
 It looks a bit cramped, but for a tiny bathroom it's very functional
And of course, it has a bird theme.  Gotta leave my touch :-)
