This ain't your grandma's bathroom...

I am a firm believer that there are two things that keep a relationship healthy. The first is a dishwasher and the second item would be a double sink. To preserve our happiness we purchased both. This post is to document our current bathroom status.

Our first reno goal was to take out the grandma in our washroom. The woman that lived here is a lovely woman, but her tastes were of an older generation. That being said, she came by a couple of weeks ago to pick up some of her mail that we were still getting. I asked if she would like to come in for a tour. At first, I realized that there was the potential to cause a coronary. However, this is a home that she put many years of love into.

The good news is that she told us that she LOVED our taste (or was in shock haha) and was thrilled at the drastic changes that A and I have been doing to the home. This has included but not limited (and to be documented soon):

-Removing carpet and refinishing the floor BLACK!
-Updating an entire bathroom
-Doubling the size of the master bedroom
-Making a master closet
-Removing the dining room prison bars (aka spindles)
-Pot lights
-Removing the "stone" from the gas fireplace
-Removing all traces of sea foam green and cat paraphernalia
-Removing overgrown dangerous trees.

We are inching closer to completing the bathroom. Luckily, A and I have the exact decor tastes that make the decision process extremely easy. Our floor and shower tile was picked in 5 minutes. A did have to do some convincing with the floor tile.

We will be updating with pics of our bathroom soon!!! (Looking forward to not having to brush my teeth in bathroom #2 that is the size of an airplane washroom)

However, here are some lovely goodies that we discovered in our bathroom.

Exhibit A: Bathroom Archives - AKA Newspaper


Exhibit B: Painted wallpaper - This should be crime!!!
