Home Improvement!

Holy crap I'm tired!  So finally, FINALLY, the bathroom is done!  You may recall that I recently redid our master bath, and stupidly, was feeling quite cocky after that and took on James' bathroom.  Which.. granted, really needed it!  And as is par for the course, I neglected to take a "before" shot of my work, so you can't even really appreciate it.. you can however, acknowledge it's fabulousity.  
Tally of the work:  stripped wallpaper, primed, painted, stripped and regrouted floor tile, stripped POPCORN FRICKIN' CEILING and redid IT, painted dark wooden cabinets, replaced all hardware.  Oh yes, and I added quarter-round moulding around the cabinet base, and yes, thank you, it DOES look terrific!  This also involved removing the toilet for the majority of the work.
And here it is, baby...



Are you enjoying that I neglected to empty the trashcan before taking these pictures, and that I left that grotty old stool in there?  If you look veeeery closely, you might be able to make out the toothpaste blob that I also neglected to clean from the leg of said stool.. hey, that's just how we roll!

And what's this last picture?  It's the difference between a nice new smooth ceiling and the crappy old popcorn ceiling that's still in the hallway.  It's my only Before/After shot!
