The guest bath....
It dawned on me this week that I do actually have ONE room in the house that is completely finished.
One.
Out of 13.
I must celebrate the small victories!
The walls and trim are painted.. The cabinet and counter are done. The lighting is done. The flooring is done. The plumbing is done.
Yippeee!!!
The hall bath now….
The hall bath before…..
A tiny room hardly worth a passing picture during our initial walk thru!
Gold goddy mirror. Broken pedestal sink. The 90s overhead cabinet decorated with cleaning supplies.
Pretty ick.
The bad thing is you see it the minute you walk in the front door so it needs to be pretty.
I know I shared my laundry room and breakfast room last week…and they may APPEAR to be finished. But I am repainting all the trim in the house and I haven’t painted the trim in those rooms…so TECHNICALLY they aren’t finished. I also want to eventually change the tile in the laundry room and possibly paint the cabinets….sooooo….
But the little hall bath is finished. New custom vanity, new lighting, new sink and faucet, new paint….
Done!
Again, I had just completed a mini makeover on my hall bath in the other house so the wall paint color and quartz top was a no brainer.
First thing i did was remove that super awesome wall cabinet above the toilet…gago! Just removing that cabinet opened up the space and made the room FEEL larger!!!
I discovered why a pedestal sink was necessary in this bathroom….
It is so tiny that the door would not clear a standard vanity depth. So I had my cabinet guy custom make a simple and small “floating” vanity. I painted it with white lacquer and added “modern” pulls.
Then I had to find a sink that would fit on a small vanity…not an easy task considering I wanted one similar to the sink at my old house…a glass vessel. I found a small one on Overstock…HERE.
The mirror was a fluke. I originally wanted a round mirror, but stumbled on this one at At Home. I love it because it has a “white lacquer” look and I knew I was going to paint the vanity with white lacquer.
The light fixture is from Lowe’s. Simple but fun!
Small guest bath…check!
Again, celebrate the SMALL victories.
The kitchen and den are ALMOST done…this week my goal is to finish painting all the trim and then those two rooms will be finished.
Not a huge difference but it is. While painting the trim I again realized just how much trim and how many interior doors and windows this house has! Dang!
The kitchen is SOOOO awesome. I can’t wait to share it!
The living room SHOULD be done if the couch is delivered this week…figures and toes crossed.
The dining room is months away from being “done.” The table I ordered will take four months and I am just now looking at chairs…and then there is the whole rug thing…and wall decor…and…you get the picture.
The master bath is coming along…the walk in shower is done and I have a little bit of trim work and paint i want to do before I share it. It is one of those rooms that will still need “decorating” but getting the “foundation” (trim, paint, tile, etc) is taking time.
We have rain EVERY day this week so my yard has been pushed back again…such is life. It will get done eventually!!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…creating a “home” is a process. And it never seems to be “finished.”
Thank God I enjoy this process.
