bathroom is done! mostly.....


























It's been a while, I know. Been crazy busy with house/work/life and we kept forgetting to bring the camera to the house.
A lot has been completed since last update. We now have a finished bathroom!!!
The only thing not done is the vanity counter top- which was a special order item and the pulls for the vanity drawers. Also a piece of the wall that needed some spackling - note in photo- we'll have to go touch that up with some blue. But you get the idea.

Our siding & windows are also complete. It looks beautiful- pictures on that later. We need to get some shutters - black of course and we're going to buy a new front door (RED!)
We bought a garage door from home depot that will really fit the whole cape cod theme we have going. Once all of these things are done i will take pictures, i promise!

Anyway...sheetrock and spackle was done in the kitchen- its looking a lot more like a real room now. So many outlets too!

This past Saturday we had the genius idea of taking the white painted over wallpaper off the walls in both bedrooms. GENIUS! ugh! Peeling it was a breeze! Oh no! Oh wait.....theres another layer of wallpaper underneath. Ok no big deal...we'll just peel that off too. Scrape if we have to. OH NO...OH GOD THERES ANOTHER LAYER OF WALLPAPER! WTF PEOPLE? Who wallpapers over wallpaper- 2 TIMES?! This is impossible and going to be a huge project that we definitely werent prepared for. But now its far too late. See the disgusting pictures.

We are still not able to move in yet which is a huge bummer. The floors arent finished or even started yet. No bueno. We were told now it will be complete by next Friday, the 23rd. Its only next Friday but it feels so far away!

Anyway...let me know what you think of the bathroom. We love it!
