Our bathroom remodel is finally finished. Here are the before and after pictures:

We finally got into the thick of the bathroom remodel over the weekend. And by “we” I really mean “I.” The wife helped demo the baseboards and wainscoting, but there’s just not enough room in our tiny bathroom for two people to work. She primed and painted the bead board outside while I worked in the bathroom. In what I hope wasn’t an omen, I had to call a plumber early Saturday morning. One of the faucet shut-offs was so brittle and corroded that it had to be replaced. After that, I disassembled the sink and got the vanity out of the room.

Well, we just put down half of the money for our new cabinets and counter tops, so the kitchen remodel has become a reality. They’re scheduled to install them in the first week of July, so that gives us a month and a half to get the room ready. It seems like every previous owner has tried to jazz up the space with new paint, knobs or fixtures, but no one put any serious time or money into modernizing the room. Here’s how it looks:

As usual, everything looks decent in the picture, but a closer inspection reveals antiquated cabinets and shoddy craftsmanship.
