Bathroom: Before and AFTERS!

We did it. We are finished. We are done! The idea-turned-project of remodeling the "green" bathroom into something much more inviting and modern is complete. Hallelujah! In just under three (seemingly long) months, we got to the long-awaited point of hanging the art and lining up the linens! An even more exciting point than the demolition, the holes, the flat walls, the tile, and the vanity work.

I know pride is labeled as bad. But I think being proud of something that came from your own sweat and sore back is in a different field. Sure, the square footage of this room remains small and "cozy." But the space is beautiful. The space is ours. Truly ours. From thought, to manual labor, to look in the end! Of making something just how we wanted it...and in knowing there is great quality behind everything we're surrounded by...and in not going into debt to do it, we do stand proud.

So scroll down. See the difference. Taken purposely from the same angles, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

I can't help but peek around and love the carefully selected details. The joy is in the details:

(Matt would settle for nothing less than MOEN. I would settle for nothing different than using black for the fixtures.)

(Round mirror. Round details on the light fixture. Perhaps led to a circle overload, but I still like them.)

(Again, black details.)

(Open-shelf, shaker-style vanity!)

(Textures and tile.)

(A small splash of color in a live plant!)

(Round mirror reflecting art on the opposite wall.)

(A new block of Scentsy smell ready to go.)

Today was the final day for Tyler to shadow the work in this room! Again, hallelujah! He'll have to pretend something with his own plastic tools...because Matt hit the point of claiming, "I'll never do tile again" and I hit the point of NOT wanting to see the doors of the Home Depot or Lowe's again! Both Matt and I will be completely alright with walking down the hall, peeking in, smiling, and then just sitting on the couch (or me in the tub) and doing nothing! For a while. A very long while...

{huge sigh of relief!}
