...And After

So it's not totally finished - the electrician still needs to come and do some electrician stuff - but it's mostly done. You know, kind of like how Cary Elwes was mostly dead in The Princess Bride. But it's functional and we're approximately 187% happier with this room than we were with it's drabby former incarnatinon. It's weird how you get so used to something that you don't realize how really, really bad it truly is. Such was the case with the "before" version of this room.

Unlike the previous bathroom renovation, we hired people to do most of the work. Again, I'm fine with paying someone to cut and install the tile. They're quick, competent and nice to work with. For this job the only work that was done ourselves was the demolition, vanity and counter installation, faucet installation and...that might be it.

Anyway, this project will likely put renovations on a bit of a hiatus. The baby is due in less than a month (and I'll say this again: we're always late so this kid will probably be, too). We have this house in a state where it's comfortable, functional and livable. And that's not really even giving it enough credit.

Anyway, on to the after pics:

Those wires are supposed to be there!

Slightly nicer counters...

I installed the curtain myself!


Probably could have used another shelf.
