First of all...I forgot to add this to the last post. I had cooked bacon to wake the kids up so they could come and help and there was a heart! Yes...I know most of you would 'scoff' at my heart-sitings but it's just for me anyways, I just like to share. Okay, now on to the bath.
This is about the only picture with me working AND I wanted to keep a picture of the old linoleum. How did we live so long with that stuff? This new peel and stick tile is great! You can leave it spaced and actually grout between it so it looks like real stone tile. (Not really real looking up close, but darn near it). Side note: Shannon had brought this book home from school, "A Child named It'. 
Allan and I read the whole thing before she got a chance to finish it - NOW we need book 2 to find out what happened to his mom/family! If any of you have read it you know what I mean. Also, Shan had a cold most of last week and this is usually how I found her
Now for the bathroom pictures. It is nearly complete - we have to wait until Tuesday to put a sealer on our shower tiles, and a few spots of touch up paint! Woo-hoo! We are all out of bathrooms to do, so what are we going to do next? Oh, I've got plans...
The accent tile we used in the shower area I love. It has the glisteny ones that are pretty in real life. You'll just have to come by and see them. 
The mirrored medicine cabinet you see in the far back is an honorable shout-out to Allan. I can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but he, on his own took out our old ugly one and installed this ! Four screws out, a little tug and then four screws back in! No problem. Also, we had some 'rough' wall area to cover up behind the toilet and I didn't want to use the bead board again so we used this mosaic tile and put it around the sink area. It turned out nice. Once again, better in real life. 
I can't remember the name of the Lowe's paint I 
bought....something 'mint', but I can describe it as 'seafoam green'. Uh, hu, the 1980's color. 
Doug came up with adding extra support for our towel racks. For some reason the racks did not like staying up on this wall. We must have had 8 'patched' towel rack holes pre-beadboard wall. I love it!
This picture is not very pretty, but the curtain is great and the swirly-circles match the 'mint' paint that I used. I did not paint every wall but some some accent places. 
My least favorite part...clean-up. Stop by sometime and see our newly renovated bath. Sit for a while if you want. giggle-giggle.....

Ha ha! Come sit for a while.... love it. I can't believe I haven't been over there in a week. The last I saw was the "tile" going down on the floor. I can't wait to get over there and see the new bathroom in all it's glory.
That's what I call a fine bathroom....a must see.
