Bathroom Makeover

We finally finished our bathroom makeover. It took about a month to finish everything from start to finish. Here is a before picture.

And this is the scary nastiness when we started tearing everything out. Ick!

And....Drum roll please....



Here is a summary of what we did; we replaced the toilet, tiled the floor, replaced the baseboards, painted the walls, trim, and door, painted the vanity, replaced the light fixture, made a new shade, and Calvin sunk the mirror into the wall.

We replaced the old linoleum, and Calvin and my cousin Curtis laid some travertine tile. It looks so good! Thanks Curtis and Becca!

I made this roman shade for a total of $6 (one yard of fabric). I used the mini blinds that were previously hanging there. I think it turned out absolutely fabulous. I can't wait to make some for my bedroom.

Our House

Here it is! I know it took me a while to post pictures, but I posted TONS so hopefully that will make up for recent lack of. So for those of you who don't know about a month ago we bought a house in Idaho Falls and so far we love it!!

This is our street. It is lined with trees. I can't wait to see it in the fall when all the leaves change color!
 Our house was built in 1940, so it has some really unique old features that give it so much character!

The Living Room

Before...

and After!!!
This is what you first see when you walk in the door.


I LOVE the two big windows in our front room. They let in so much natural light.


Here is our little entry and front door!

The Dining Room

Before...
and after!!
I LOVE our little dining room! The built-ins in the corners are my favorite!

The Second Bedroom

Right now this is kind of the nothing room. It is just full of boxes and pictures and books. Someday it will be a baby's room, and NO I am NOT announcing anything!!! I am just saying that someday in the future that is what it will be.
Also, notice the beautiful hardwood floors. there are wood floors throughout most of the main floor. Someday, hopefully soon, we will tear up the carpet and expose the hardwood!!!

And for the record, I did not paint this room. The lovely green will be changed!!
