Phase One Complete – Vanity and Toilet done!

Sorry it’s been a while since an update, but as usual we’ve been busting our butts trying to get our bathroom functional before Dad comes down tomorrow afternoon. Well we got it done by the skin of our teeth and it looks FABULOUS! I can’t believe how well it turned out. The shower tile will be coming in on Monday and we’ll pick that up and then start again on that long arduous task. But until then we have 2 sinks and a toilet that work great and we’re thrilled!

Tommy installed the new window 2 nights ago when it got down to 17 degrees - Thank God because we would have frozen our butts off!!

The new vanity
New countertop - which fortuitously ended up being too long so we had to cut the back off and decided to do a natural stone backsplash - MUCH better!!
