What a Beautiful Day Today.

The weather was so fantastic today. I am so glad to see all of that terrible heat find somewhere else to go. I sure hope it stays away for a while now.

I have finally gotten the tub/shower surround installed in the tub. That was done last night and made such a huge difference. Tonight we installed the tub/shower door. WOW....I cannot believe how beautiful the room is looking now. I just have a few more minor details and the room will be finally finished. I managed to wrench my back and my shoulder in the process though it's nothing a nice hot bath won't take care of. Here are a few more pictures of the bathroom. I am so pleased with how it looks now.

Almost Finished.........I Think........

Here is a shot of the new shelf, new roll blind (clearance aisle) & new topper. I really like how it all is going together. :) A few details still need done to the cabinets and the wall where the mirror hangs. Maybe tomorrow we can finally hang the mirror back up.


Is It Really September ???

I am sure begining to wonder if it is or not. It is currently 90 degrees here and there is no air blowing around. Then there is that nasty humidity that just doesn't quit.

I have been working on my bathroom for over a week now and I am finally almost done with it. It is amazing the difference in the room. The wallpaper came down in it's original sheets and with just a little tug. This is what I saw once I pulled that paper off. It was terrible to say the least. What I thought was pealing paint was actually more wallpaper that had been painted over I don't know how many times.

Then there was this nightmare to the left of and under the mirror and wallpaper. Some people amaze me. They think clear packing tape can be used instead of plaster. There is another huge hole behind the mirror that I could put my hand in.


It really doesn't look like the same room anymore. I painted the lower part Purple Earth and the top is an Antique Lace with Coconut Milk on the ceiling and top trim. The room didn't even have any trim though it does now. As you can see....from the pictures below.......it doesn't look like the same room.


I did manage to find a curtain topper to match nicely with a clearance rack roll shade with fringe at the bottom. I have also managed to find some nice frames that I will be painting the purple. These will hold 2 pictures I have had hanging in the bathroom for forever. The cabinet doors are in the process of being painted as I write this.


Then there is the mirror. It just seemed a bit plain for a fresh bathroom. I bought a can of glass frost and created a nice border for it. It looks like a different mirror now. Here are the before and after shots with one close up showing the detail.
