Bathroom Re-do

My mom and I decided to undertake a little project while I was in town...a bathroom makeover! While this was "my" bathroom while I lived at home, I can't say I was sad to see it go. It was great in all it's lime green splendor, but those glory days have come and gone.

 We still need to add some crown molding around the tops of the walls (you can tell we painted it knowing we would be putting that on), but Home Depot was out of the kind we needed. Here's what we did:

*painted walls, door, vanity, trim
*ripped up the old floor and put in new
*replaced shower curtain
*did a lot of caulking that was way overdue!

I must admit, I thought this project would be a bit easier than it was. We ended up taking the toilet out, replacing floor boards, etc. And let's be honest, by "we" I mean mostly my dad. My mom and I did the demolition and painting and my dad spent several early mornings and late nights putting it all back together again. My mom wants to put in a new mirror, light fixtures, and some kind of shelving above the toilet, but even without all that, it has had quite the transformation! It was fun to create a nicer, more peaceful feeling bathroom and made me realize that there is so much I don't know about this kind of construction/remodeling stuff around the house. I picked up a few tips and tricks from my dad during this project, but I really wish I knew a lot more!
