Belated Birthday Present

  On a mostly impulse decision Jim decided to gut our  main floor bathroom and have the new updated bathroom be my birthday present (back in January).  Yeah!!! It took a little longer than we planned- like 3 months longer than we planned!  A busy family of 6 can make almost anything take a little longer :)

Anyways,  we got rid of EVERYTHING including the cabinet, sink,  wood floors, wood accesories, 80's style light, etc.  We changed the wall color from a grey to a light tan called Cozy Cottage.    Then all the accesories were replaced with antique bronze -even the door handle. Also a new tile floor was put in with a new toilet.

Before: Really no words to describe how ugly this is :)  So many things wrong with this bathroom. The sad thing is we put up with it for almost 6 years.

After: So much better!  I love it!   The picture doesn't do justice to the paint color.  It is a nice neutral light tan color.  The tile of the counter and floor are the exact same although they look different shades in the picture. The counter is showing it's true shade. Not sure why the picture put a pink hue to the floor :)

 

I have also painted our front room from a red to the light tan of Cozy Cottage.  It is a nice refreshing change.  I have  been working on wall decorations throughout the house.  I am a slacker in that area and a lot of our walls have had empty "spots" for 6 years :).  I will do a post of those updates later.
