The bathroom is finally FINISHED!! This week we got last piece of the puzzle, the light fixture, and now it is completed. All I have to do yet is get Nick to put up a towel bar and get a few new towels for it.

I wish I'd taken better "before" pics. I didn't think of it until we were halfway through taking it apart. But anyway, here is BEFORE:

And AFTER!!

I'm so excited about the way it turned out. Especially the vanity. I REALLY wish I'd taken a pic of what it looked like before, but picture this: pukey brown circa 1975 with LONG, pointy antique bronzey drawer pulls. *GAG* I"m sure it was nice in 1975, but...yeah. We sanded down the whole vanity and stained it a dark cherry color. Added updated drawer pulls and new hinges and everything sparkles! I just wish I could figure out a solution to the window. Not a big fan of the mini blinds, but I don't know what else to do about it for now. Eventually, I might replace the window with an etched glass one...but not for awhile.

Now my bathroom looks like it belongs in this decade! Century, even!

Now back to repainting the trim.

Beautiful!! You did a wonderful job!!!

 

[Paddysmom]

BRAVO! Reminds me so much of our teeny bathroom redo. Lovely, Janna.

 

[pat]

I love it!!!!

 

[Janna and Boomer]

The more I look at it, the more I'm troubled by the purple hand towel. It is marring the beauty. I need to get new towels TOMORROW!

 

[zoesmom]

Nice! I like the modern look/feel to it. Love your light fixture.

(I notice you put your toilet paper roll in "backwards/upside down" )

 

[mattgusmum]

It looks lovely, well done

No...YOU are backwards.

 

[Paddysmom]

Can't tell the towel color in the picture... it's sort of neutral. You'll find the right one to zip it up!

i think your outlets are against code aren't they? Shouldn't bathroom outlets have those red and black buttons on it? a breaker or something?

No...YOU are backwards.

I noticed this as well Linda ;D but this is another whole thread!

I just saw on one of those home improvement shows how they sprayed a window to make it the obscured glass!!! It was the deadlights by the front door...but it could work, I'd think! You'd have to check if the steam from a shower would be a problem. Ask at your local Home Depot or similar store! I can't remember what it was called, or else I'd google for you.

The bathroom looks great! Backwards toilet paper and all!

I really like the way it came out.

HA!!!!!

And about the outlets...yeah the guy that inspected the house before we bought it said something about that. I suppose we'll switch them out eventually.

Yeah, that Nick is really making this Nick look really bad.

 

[Janna and Boomer]

Nah...he just did what I told him to.

 

[imported_CindersMyGirl]

I can't believe that's not a new vanity! You did a great job. It all looks really nice. (even with the messed up tp roll )

 

[Taffys Mom]

I just did a quick google of "window frosting bathroom." Check some of the ideas!

 

[sawyersammy]

Wow! You guys did a great job! Love the vanity re-do!

What's the pattern on your shower curtain? I like it!

 

[bibber]

Very nice!

 

[Janna and Boomer]

What's the pattern on your shower curtain?

It's sketches of people, eiffel tower, moulin rogue...etc. Here is a closeup from the store's website:
