Le Bain [almost done}

Last year when I was SEVEN months pregnant we decided to gut the whole bathroom and remodel in TWO months...

I am sure you know the rest of the story :D

It is NOT finished yet, but is functional - which is a bad thing! But I {heart} it!!

Hubs worked really hard to finish before I had the baby and I am happy to say that I took my "last" shower there, without a door, but did!!

three things that I learned with this remodeled:

1. Mudding IS a pain in the neck (literally)... but when you are 9 months pregnant is MUCH harder and painful to do  ceilings!

2. DON'T start a BIG project when you have a preggo at home and company coming in three weeks of starting the project!

3. Do it anyways because it would be so worth it in the end...

I thought about waiting till we finish, but since I don't know WHEN that would be, I decided to post today.

The "Before":

This is how the bathroom looked BEFORE. We had a tiny, dark and moldy shower - which we didn't use - wonder why! And a linnen/MESS closet.

And here is AFTER...  drum roll {please}

We added the beadboard - I {heart} it!! Painted a 'harlequin' wall. Layed new tile, new hardware.

New light fixtures (love the recessed lights in the shower), light/fan combo, new shower unit - NOTHING 'green' about this water sucker...

New door...

Still need to finish crown moulding and next project will be to refinish the vanity and paint the countertop!!

Wish me luck!!!
