Okay people are you ready for some serious bathroom cuteness? First let’s take a look back at the nastiness that once was:


I had the soap dish and took the small mirror from my mom’s. The bigger mirror from the first pic was something I already had too, it was over the fireplace at my old townhouse. The little hobnail dish was $10 at a second had store. That along with my medicine cabinet hold most everything I need to get ready:


The shower curtain is from Anthropology and is on loan from Sciarrino. My grandma got me nice new white towels and this bathmat. I found the bath caddy after a considerable hunt on Amazon. No place had it locally, and it was less than $20 shipped so you can’t beat that. I’m so over the ones that go in the corner, had those all through college. And my shower head is so low something over that would look silly (when I say low, I mean low. I’m 5’3" and I have to bend back to get my head under it).


It’s hard to take a picture of lights, but trust me this is cute. My electrician put it in, and the fan. I patched the holes from the "saggy breasts" fixture that was there before. The bathroom really looks a lot cleaner because of the awesome new ceiling paint.

The trim. Dave the carpenter has been here three days this last week to help me finish things up. This was already primed when I bought it at Home Depot, and I painted it before it was installed. Then touched up after.

Here’s a run down on my $785 bathroom re-do
Paint and supplies: $50
Sink and Facet: about $250
Light and fan: $150
Trim: $50
Hardware (hinges, knobs, towel bars, etc): $150
Shower head: $15
Accessories (container, plastic drawers for cupboard, bath caddy): $50

Tile and supplies: $70

I need to go through my receipts, but that’s pretty close. That’s the most by far of any room, but worth every penny I think.

Because I got a ton of stuff done this weekend, though I’m a bit wiped out. I think this picture might be a little bit more realistic:

If I post all these kind of pictures on the internet willingly no one can black mail me with anything right? Ya, I had that little leaf on my forehead for a good hour before someone told me. Why did I wait until it was raining to clean my gutters? Because it’s Oregon, I’d have to wait until freaking July to do it in the sun. And good thing too, when I got up there they were almost overflowing with water. Thanks for the action shots Sciarrino. I’m really hoping my guests stop at the cupcakes on the dining room table and don’t glance into my nasty ass back yard. Ew.

My online housewarming will be Friday. You know what that means. Bathroom pictures baby. Oh ya it looks sick. Like sick awesome.
