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.

I seriously have nightmares over pulling up toilets. I'm so not kidding! I want more details and a tutorial about those blinds. They look great and my house is the QUEEN of mini blinds :)

I know you don't really know me. Calvin and my husband Kirk are cousins. But I just wanted to tell you that your bathroom looks FANTASTIC! Nice work!

I am new follower- found you through Pinterest! I am in love with your house- my house was built in 1940 too- so a lot of rooms looks so much alike but your rooms looks so much better than mine! I absolutely love your new bathroom- my husband and I tried to fix up our bathroom(looks just like yours!) but We just never bothered to finish painting... I kept changing my mind on the color paint. Can you please share what paint color did you use for your bathroom! :)
