the bathroom of our dreams

what didn't get improved in this bathroom? here's what takes 6 months when you diy your own crapper: new sink + faucet (moved from original location - plumbing + sheetrocking completed with uncle gary's help), new sink stand, new medicine cabinet, new non-midget sized toilet, new heavy duty cast iron tub + fixtures (which required paul to reinforce the walls where water had leaked with the old clawfoot), new fancy window in shower, subway tiles around tub + behind toilet + sink backsplash (thanks to ryah for learning us a thing or two and getting us started on the tiling project), new super cool black hexagonal tiles on floor, new baseboards + new coat of baby blue paint on the walls.

there are still a few finishing details that require our attention, but we're not sweating it. there will always be something, right? paul did a fantastic job on that bathroom + it was our last big-ish project for this house for a while. i am thrilled + absolutely love being in the bathroom now.

it was worth the few fleeting moments when i considered scraping it all and moving to vegas to fulfill my showgirl dreams. needless to say, this bathroom tested our relationship. and once again we prevailed with flying colors. paul rocks.
