Guest Bathroom Before/After

Let us recall what the guest bath looked like before. Remember that faux paint job. We were never sure if it was supposed to be waves or clouds....... judging from all the fish stickers, I'm going to go with waves:




And the after:





Here's the rundown:
-New tile floor
-Painted wall & cabinets
-Replaced mirror (Kirkland's)
-New brushed nickel light fixture
-Brushed nickel towel racks/t.p. holder (Walmart)
-Clearance shower curtain (BedBath&Beyond)
-Wicker baskets (Walmart)
-Wall art: old frames and pages taken from a wildlife book

Eventually we'd like to:
-Retile shower (or at least get the tub refinished)
-Replace countertop/sink/faucet

Master Bedroom

So here is the before and after of our master bedroom. When we bought the house the walls of the master looked disgusting. It looked like someone had repeatedly thrown buckets of dirty water all over the walls! If you are just now joining us, you may be wondering why we took up all the laminate wood flooring that was put in throughout the house. Well it looks fine in the pictures but in reality the boards were not installed correctly and there were many large gaps throughout the house that could not be fixed. Also, we preferred the darker wood flooring we now have in our living areas and Randall was insistent that we had carpet in the bedrooms. So in this room we: scraped popcorn ceilings, put in carpet, painted walls, painted trim, replaced light fixture.

After:



The color of our walls is Benjamin Moore - Gravity. LOVE it. It is such a calm and relaxing color that I am now trying to figure out where else in the house I can put it!

Drumroll please...

Okay so I am going to try to start posting some before / after pics of our house. I know it's been awhile since we finished the construction and moved in, but it has been hectic around here. Also taking "after" pictures requires me to clean the room I'm photographing. Needless to say, I will just post a few rooms at a time! Here is our master bathroom:

Can you tell which item was the only thing to remain in the room in the picture above? And even that got a big face-lift. We used a dark brown gel-stain on the cabinets.

No more closed in, claustrophobic shower! Nice and open now! Now all I need is for those tile floors to be heated!!
