Well, we have only 1 room that is completely finished - by this I mean painted, lighted and curtained - and this is Addison's playroom! It was actually done a few days ago, but I had all her boxes of old toys and blankets and stuff in there...not good for staging a picture. So now it is clean (at least until she wakes up from her nap!!) and ready to be seen by the world...so I present to you:
Addison's Playroom BEFORE:
And Addison's Playroom AFTER:
The project that has been taking up Dan's time lately has turned out to be the bathroom. We were not planning on doing anything major for at least another 2-3 years, but these things have a way of changing before you can even blink!! What started off as changing the bathtub faucet has turned into oh-so-much more!!
Dan: "You know that tub faucet that we were going to change because it was hanging sideways?"
Me: "Yeah..."
Dan: "Well, I had to take down the tub surround on that side to get into the pipes a bit...there's a bit of rot and mold behind the surround, so we're going to have to replace the drywall."
Me: "Sure, okay..."
Dan: "We'll also have to get a new side for the tub surround, because we're changing the type of faucet and there's going to be holes in the other one otherwise."
Me: "Okay...."
Dan: "And I was looking into prices of surrounds, and it's just as cheap to buy one that goes around the entire tub instead of just replacing the one side."
Me: (mentally doing some calculations) "okayyyyy"
Dan: "And I was talking to Dad, and he suggested we just replace the tub while we're at it. I think we should get one that's a little taller than the tub we have now" (FYI - the old tub is 1960s lavender)
So that's how we now have a new tub, when we were just going to get a faucet!! (The above conversation is the jist of about 10 conversations we had over the past week....but you get the idea!!"). It's still not ready to go yet, so everytime Addison needs a bath, we have to take a trip to Grandma's house - thank goodness they live so close!! When this is done, we're done with the bathroom for a while!
