Hope you had a great weekend! I had to start with this picture of Layla in the swing the other night, I can't bear not to include one nice picture in this post!
Some of you have been asking for pictures of our bathroom progress... I'm not sure this is exactly what you had in mind... it looks terrible to the average person but to me it represents a lot of hard work!
This is what we started with. A teeny tiny bathroom with a leaking sink, tub with plastic surround, and fake tiles on the walls. I painted it Ballet White by Benjamin Moore to see us through until the renovation.
Storage was a big problem. The cabinets you see on the right are literally 3 inches deep.
My husband's brother Scott is working on the bathroom for us. Dave and Scott worked very hard this weekend to destruct the entire thing.
You can see the sad state of our guest room here... but it will be better soon! There will be a new beadboard ceiling to replace the old tiles, which came complete with a hole patched with paper towel of all things. We are making the guest room a little smaller to accommodate the new bathroom.
Here is the bathroom all cleaned up and ready for construction:
Scott really knows a lot about old houses and he is a very hard worker. He and his wife Hannah have been renovating an older home and I can't wait to share the beautiful transformation with you soon.
Thank you Scott and Dave, for working so hard!
I will post more pictures soon, even though they are not pretty I want to remember them.
Have a wonderful week!
