Bathroom Redo
Back in July, when we moved into our house, we started redoing the guest bathroom. As you can see below, this bathroom was decorated with hideous wallpaper, gold fixtures everywhere, and a maroon toilet and sink. !! With the help of our wonderful friends, we started taking down the wallpaper, one shred of paper at a time. We only got maybe 25% of the paper taken down that first day, even with 6 people or so working on it! Unfortunately, there was not one, but four layers of wallpaper to remove. Mike and I continued to work on it for an hour at a time over the next few weeks. We got so frustrated with it that we caved and spent $50 on a wallpaper steamer. Thank goodness we did! I do not recommend trying to remove wallpaper without one!
My dad to visit in mid-August to help us do lots of house projects. We finished removing the wallpaper, installed a new sink, a new toilet, mirror, and new sconces. Dad and I also added texture to the walls and painted at the same time. I am so happy with the final result! Almost two months later, I still go in there and breathe a sigh of joy when I look at it!
