Guest/Boys' Bathroom Fancification

When we bought 3.5 years ago, this was quite possibly the ugliest room in the entire house. It's the upstairs guest bathroom though so it didn't warrant much attention. Until now. This is right next to the nursery and will be the boys' bathroom so it was time to make some much-needed improvements.

The bathroom before...

Please note the ugly vinyl flooring that was cut & coming up in places.

And the f-ugly wallpaper that was also peeling.

I hate these monster panes of mirror that are just stuck to the walls.
Oh, yes, and the lovely showgirl lights. Blech.

Work in progress...

Greg killed himself removing all of the wallpaper, spackling over the tears, sanding and priming. That's when I came in to help paint. We chose a very light grayish blue that I love.
(Pssst... Don't tell my nurse I did this. OR my mom!)

Greg deciphering the instructions for installing our new, low-flow toilet.

Bathroom Prettified...

Greg replaced the shower head with a water-efficient sprayer with hose, the better to reach the babies with. He also installed the new toilet we got from Austin's free toilet replacement program. Instead of using 3.5 gallons of water per flush, this one only uses 1.3 gallons. We wanted to test it out before we used the program to replace our other two toilets but so far so good. I think we're going to do it.

We hired Floor Centers of Texas to come in and not only install wood floors in the office, hallway and stairs, but they also installed these beautiful porcelain tiles. No more vinyl! Yay!

The paint job.
And Greg also replaced the towel rack, TP holder and little hand towel rack.

Greg removed the big ugly mirror & installed this medicine cabinet for more storage of baby crap. We also got an electrician in to replace the light fixture.

Ok, so that's pretty and all. But this room is going to be for our babies! We needed to cutesy it up a bit.

Bathroom Babified...

New adorable fishy shower curtain & bath mat.

And cute accessories! A night light, toothbrush holder and soap dispenser. The fishes move in a circle around the dispenser.

I could die of the cuteness!

All the new fishy stuff is compliments of my very generous and very stubborn mom. She's having a great time being grandma already. :)

Thanks, Mom!!
