Bathroom Remodel!
Right now our downstairs bathroom looks like this:
I always think about taking before pictures, but then we get so excited to get started with our projects I forget! I will just say that it was ugly and outdated. When we first moved in the house the WHOLE thing ( I am talking about walls, ceiling, outlets) was painted a dark awful red. One of the first things we did was paint everything back to white. I was so set on getting rid of the red that I didn't take any pictures of it. I really wish I could show the before picture of that! So here is a run down of what to come....
*Tape and paint new sheet rock on ceiling
*Install our new soaker tub
*Tile the floor in the same tile we used for the kitchen and dinning room
*Install bead board around the lower half of the walls
*Tile the shower/tub surround using shiny white subway tiles and a strip of decorative glass tiles
*Put in our beautiful new vanity and mirror.
*Hang up new hardware like towel racks and toilet paper holder
*Install new light fixtures
*Make and install new linen closet
*Paint
*Install new door
Hmmmm.... I think that is it! We have have everything bought and waiting for my dear husband to put it all in. I am so lucky he is capable and works so hard!
Ok so now that you have seen what we have picked out I need help picking out a wall color! The bead board is white so I want a color that will contrast nice with that. If you have any suggestions let me know!
This project might take all summer to finish so stay tuned for the after pictures!

Love it! Miss you guys!
I love all of your choices, and yes, the before was horrendous!
Have fun with the color!
Well, the trend right now is a lovely cream color with the dark wood you chose for you vanity/sink. I think that would be lovely. If I was feeling a bit more adventurous, I might try the old world plaster texture technique instead of orange peel texture and then paint it cream and then glaze it with a light brown color and have red towels and curtain as accents. If I was feeling really like I wanted a serene room that is pleasant to be in, I would go for a calming pale blue or pale green- beware, greens are hard to get perfect. If I want people to be in and out in a flash of that room, I would go with neon orange. The orange would be practical, but not pretty at all. ;)
I can't wait to see the finished product!
