Bathroom Remodel

You may recall that last year we did some MAJOR house remodeling; new siding, balcony, A/C unit, floors, cabinetry... not because we wanted to, but out of necessity thanks to some indoor water damage and exterior wood rot. This year's project was much smaller, faster, cheaper, less obtrusive, and definitely more cosmetic in nature. Of course, if you ask anybody who's stayed at our house, they'd probably call it a necessity.

Before: the ugliest peeling wallpaper imaginable (the wallpaper border, not shown, was blech), shower tiles with an ugly green stripe that didn't match up and had cracks in areas due to a poor self-patch job by the previous owner, and old fixtures that were rusted and falling apart.

After: bright white tiles with a cool multi-colored mini-tile stripe going through it, nice new fixtures, and pink... yes PINK walls! It's a subtle pink, and while you can't see a HUGE difference in the photos, it really turned out nice and is a big improvement.

You all know that I had a no pink policy at first, and Aurora's room still doesn't have pink in it - but her bathroom needed something light and bright and feminine to soften the dark green tile floors and stark white shower. Hopefully she'll love it and our house guests will appreciate the updates as well.
