Powder/ Laundry Room Preview

Every project hits a point where you just want it finished already.  I'm there.  I'm going to make you feel my pain by posting on this again.  The floors are in and we are just waiting to walk on them.  Next we need to paint and install all the beadboard and tongue- and- groove.  I have chosen everything and it is now just a matter of labor....lots and lots of labor.  Here is a peek at all my choices:

The Reality of Renovation

Well folks, I have been showing pretty pictures of powder rooms lately and dreaming about wallpaper and light fixtures and flooring but this is what my powder room and laundry room look like now.

It was supposed to be a matter of demoing tile and taking out the toilet and existing vanity but, surprise surprise, when we took out the vanity there was mold all through the drywall.  So out came all the drywall and the project got bigger and will take longer.  I'm fine with this though, especially because I know we are doing what is best for our family's health.

Ugly, right?!  I'm still really excited about the results to come (not so much the process) and the fact that my husband is so handy.  It will be worth it in the end (I hope).
