What's Been Going On...

Well I woke up this morning with a KILLER migraine. I am not sure what brought it on but next came the vertigo. Thank goodness my husband was able to come home and help me. I was unable to even stand without losing my balance. He got me in bed and then gave me all of my very strong medicine for the migraines and vertigo. I was out like a light, and have honestly been in a fog the rest of the day. I did however this afternoon do some work. I am about an hour from finishing my bathroom remodel. I AM SO EXCITED! I wanted to put up some before and during pictures. So here is the before, I know it is terrible. I ahve hated these floors ever since we purchased the house but never have changed them, so Instead I decided a more inexspnsive option would be to chage the decore.

Here the paneling is up and the walls are painted.

Here is the begining of painting. Let me tell you, it took 6 coats of paint!! And here is the handy tool I made for painting behind the toilet. I know you can just undo the toilet and move it, but seriously no thanks! I just used a peice of craft wood, a ruler would work too, a peice of foam, and painters tape to hold it on! Yea me for figuring it out and not taking my toilet apart.

Ok So I will post the after pictures as soon as it is 100% Probably tomorrow... stay tuned!

  3. Hahah I like your tool for painting behind the toilet! I agree, taking it apart really does not sound like a whole bunch of fun to me either!

  5. Oh my gosh! I LOVE the paneling! When we eventually buy I house I want to put up tin roofing in the house! My dad did that at Aunt Terry's and it looks great! I am also in love with tin/copper ceiling tiles!

  6. How did I miss this post before?? I can't wait to see more pictures. I detest painting bathrooms-so many tight places, and it gets so hot! I love your "behind the toilet" brush-usually I find myself all contorted laying on and underneath the toilet trying to paint. Yuck.

  7. Hi there, I came across your blog via another one and just wanted to say hello and what a cute little girl you have :) The reason your blog stuck out to me is because you mentioned your daughter being named Lesley which is of course my name too! I've only known of one other person my whole life that had the same name as me and spelled the same way so I thought that was really cool! Have a great day!
