Mini Project #1: Pink Bathroom

Since this bathroom was obviously wayyyy too pink and retro girlie, something had to be done. While originally we thought the bathroom was going to get renovated in the fall, since the kitchen project took longer than expected (as kitchen projects usually do), we decided to take the bare minimum approach to the pink bathroom, and focus our attention on the kitchen for now.

Before: Floral wallpaper, shower curtain and Pink everywhere!

We had some out of town guests coming in at the end of July, so we took that opportunity to get our rears into gear and get something done about the bathroom. On the to do list:

1. Reattach some loose tile on the floor
2. Replace the pink toilet seat (that gave you a wild ride if you sat on it just right!)
3. Remove the wallpaper
4. Replace the light fixtures & switches (including a built-in "night-light")
5. Paint the walls
6. Decorate!

We got most everything done before our guests arrived (with only minutes to spare! haha) and now just need to finish decorating (this will fully happen much later - after major renovations!). Here are some pictures to chronicle the work...

The old light fixtures - two bulbs with large cylindrical covers on each end.

The room looks smaller without the big mirror. Scraping the wallpaper glue off and putting in new switches.

Final pictures (with some decorations) to come!
