Hall Bath Reveal...It's About Time!

FINALLLLLLLY!  J just finished re-installing the cabinet doors on the vanity, and we are officially DONE with the bathroom reno!  I have to say, I'm really pleased with the results!

Here's a Before picture

Prepping the room to remove the popcorn

No turning back now.  Trying. not. to. panic :)

Popcorn removed, now on to drywall prep

Preparing the drywall was a VERY dusty process.  I wore long pants, socks, and tennis shoes the entire time and my feet looked like THIS by the end of the day...

Ceilings painted

Starting on Crown Molding

Any project that J and I embark upon will always require at least a little bit of improvising...it's sort of a tradition (the improvising - not the roll of toilet paper :)

Crown Molding done and looking good despite the fact that neither the ceilings nor the walls were plumb

Project Casualty...also another tradition.  J didn't mind though.  He took advantage of my guilty conscious due to my culpability and convinced me that we should take the toilet tank lid from the toilet in the Master Bathroom to replace this one. He then installed a new toilet (aka "The Throne" - his words not mine) in our Master Bath.  I don't get the fascination, but he seems to be very pleased with the arrangements  :)

Ta-Da!

A few more Before/After pictures (the vanity appears black in the pictures but it is actually a dark brown)

This faucet is probably my favorite part of the reno - not only is it pretty - but the kids can use it without adult assistance (our old one was difficult to work).  As far as I'm concerned anything that increases their bathroom independence is a VERY good thing :)

Now that Newman has been redone from top to bottom and all of those troublesome issues seem to be behind us (I HOPE), I might just have to rename him...if he continues to behave himself :)
