In honor of the first day of Spring I am getting started on some new projects. Something about the weather changing is making me motivated. One would think that being cooped up indoors I would get stuff done. Not the case. The winter weather really just makes me hibernate. I have made a long Spring DIY list and I am ready to start crossing things off.
Today we are starting with the upstairs bathroom. We have two full bathrooms in the house. In true 70's fashion, one is blue and one is pink. Starting with the blue bathroom. Here is the picture from move in day.
The lighting is terrible and give the wall tile a pink hue. In person it is basic white. You better believe there is also a blue tub.
The vanity also came with these gigantic and totally unnecessary knobs. Since moving in we have replaced the toilet, added blinds, added art, and painted the door. Next on the to do list was to spruce up the vanity.
It's hard to tell in the photo but it looks so much better. It was stained and peeling before. Now it looks fresh, clean, and well...new. It even makes the counter top look slightly better.
We have A LOT more to do but it is slowly coming together. The next things on the list are:
-Paint/replace counter and sink.
-Replace faucet.
-Replace mirror/lighting. As you can see in the below picture, the mirror is ridiculous. I know I am short but come on.
-Paint the walls.
-Paint trim and closet door.
-Spray paint the heater cover (such an eye sore).
View of the other side.
In an ideal situation we would tear it all out and start over. In the real world that's not in the budget. So for now we are going to work with what we have and do what we can to make the blue tile look good.
Here are the official "before" and "progress" pictures. It's not a lot but it is already getting better. Now if the girls would just cooperate and take simultaneous naps it wouldn't take me 4 days to get this done.
