More Bathroom Updates!

The last thing Josh did before he left was to refinish the cabinets in the bathroom.  We used a product called Cabinet Transformations by Rustoleum.


It was a pretty easy process, basically 4 coats and you're done.  It made a huge difference in the bathroom...

Before:

 And after:


I also did do a few things while Josh was gone...one of these was to install curtains in the bathroom.  As you can see in the before picture above there was a lovely valence on the window when we moved in.  We got rid of that right away, and since the window is frosted we didn't need to get another curtain immediately.  Here is what we ended up with:



Nice, simple, clean.  Way better than that valence!  And, I installed it all by myself which makes it even better!

The one other thing I did was to buy some fabric that matched the bathroom.  I framed pieces of these in brushed nickle frames that match the rest of the bathroom hardware.  I haven't hung them yet because I'm not quite sure where to put them!  My mom is going to help with that sometime soon...


Unfortunately the bathroom still has a lot of work to be done.  The floor and shower need to be retiled, we need to refinish the bathtub, get new sinks, and probably new countertops.  Right now there are a lot of colors between the greenish walls, brown floors, blue counters.  Once we are able to redo the floors and counters things will look a lot better.  But at least it looks so much better than the baby blue mess it was when we moved in!
