Bathroom Makeover

We moved into our home on our first anniversary (May 1991). Our home is a lovely Gentleman’s Farmhouse that was built in the late 1800’s. You would think, with a definition of this nature, our home would have been filled with the charm and wonder of yesteryear. Nope. Our house was filled with the tactful décor of “The Chicken Ranch”. We had deep red shag carpet, dark paneling, plastic field stone, and a lovely green and white Eiffel Tower motif throughout the home. To be honest, I had no idea why Tom wanted to buy this place. It took several visits and a vivid imagination before I finally saw the light.

Since that first night we have been in various stages of remodel. When we did our bathroom (the only one in our home) didn’t have any money, four children with a 5th on the way, and so we needed a fast cosmetic fix. A little paint, some 90’s wallpaper and then we settled. We settled year after year putting off a final official make over because it just didn’t seem important. That lack of importance made this room one of the ugliest eyesores I have ever seen in my life.

Today I am happy to announce that we have officially completed our bathroom remodel and in doing so – our house is 100% the way we want it. Assignment: Enjoy these before photos!





We had already taken our sink out. It was a tan colored 'marble' top with 2 sinks and super ugly handles. The vanity was painted green. Very circa 1970 with a twist of 1995.
Tom is an Engineer. Look at his fancy figures. This is how the professionals do it folks.
