DIY Done!

The bathroom is pretty much done! It has taken a fair amount of time but after lots of hard work it is looking pretty darn nice! First we ripped out the old tile and put in new green board, and by we I really mean mister... There was a bit of an issue with getting the old faucet and knobs off, they were stuck on there really well!

My main job was painting, we decided to go with the blue haze which was the lighter of the two colors. I also ended up painting our top cabinet white. We picked up three little shelves from Ikea to replace the old shelving unit, and a new white fabric shower curtain from target. 



The top shelf has a candle holder, still not sure what do to on the middle and the bottom is perfume/cologne

All around we replaced tile, re-grouted the entire shower to make it look new and fresh, painted the ceiling and walls, painted the cabinet, painted the door and frame, changed out the shower knobs, changed the sink faucet, hung new shelves and a new shower curtain! We also had to change the fixtures in the other bathroom. Since we could not use our shower we discovered that the other bathroom was having a few issues so those had to get fixed in order for us to have a good working shower while we worked on ours! It took a fair amount of time but all in all we are both really happy with our new bathroom! 

We also picked up a bed for the other room since my mom will be here Friday!! It has been a busy weekend getting everything all ready!
