Day Seven: The Massive Bathroom Project Revealed!!!

Well, I came home in nervous anticipation!!!  It's so fun having childlike Christmas Eve wonder as an adult.  I hope I never lose that!!!

Had he been here?!  Was it done?!  What did it look like?!  Did he remember to leave the black tiles as requested?!  Am I going to be pleased?!  Am I going to hate it?!  What did it look like?!

I eagerly climbed the upstairs and turned the corner!!!

WOW.  Wow wow wow.  My bathroom was sooooooo different!  It was soooooooo bright!!!  Agh, look at that tub!  It's beautiful!  Look at those white walls!  They look so clean!!!  My bedroom across the hall even had a different look!  It was so bright with the sun reflecting off of the new white tiles!!!

The new bathroom!!!  It is soooooooo white!!

I am so happy!!!



The bathroom is so different!!!

One of the best surprises was the original tub!!!  Look at those contour lines!  It's gorgeous!

Of course, I had to rush to get my new shower curtain!  I LOVE my new bathroom!!!

It doesn't even look like the same room!

I'm seriously oh so happy.

I was beyond pleased.  I literally had a brand-new bathroom on my hands.  The one big disappointment was that the company had left the tub drain and handles off, but a quick phone call chnaged that.  He had expected me to reinstall them, and I was kind of shocked at that.  Oh well, he came out and did it himself.  Perfect.

While here, he told me that this was one of his harder projects.  I guess my cast-iron tub was in horrendous shape.  It was filty and incredibly rusty.  They had to spend more time than they were used to sanding it down.  But their work paid off.

I love it!!!

Of course, the problem now is that I have no toilet...and my floor looks all the more hideous!  That needs to be changed soon!  Now that the rest of the room is bright white, the salmon floor is gross!!!

But this project exceeded my wildest expectations.  The cost to have everything refinished was $1200.  But I feel that I increased the property value way more than that.  This used to be the weakest room in the home.  Now it's an attractive, bright, and clean bathroom!

It's time to get the toilet and vanity installed and be done!!!
