Okay this may be weird to some but my absolute favorite room in my house is my bathroom! We are lucky in the fact that our home has 3 bathrooms. One downstairs that is the kids/guest bathroom. The master bedroom bath which is my husbands and the hall bath which is mine and the guests bathroom. My bathroom has been remodeled twice in the 6 years we’ve been here. The first one, about a year after we moved in, was more of a necessity because what was there HAD TO GO!
The bathroom was painted an awful dark shiny blue, had a baby blue porcelain sink, toilet and bath tub. And let us not forget the bright brass/mirrored sliding shower doors and peeling linoleum floor!

These pictures were taken the second time we toured the house.
We replaced the toilet, sink and bathtub about a year after we moved in. We used some tile that we had bought a couple of years before from a warehouse closing so that remodel only cost us the price of the tub, sink and toilet really. Unfortunately I don’t really have any pictures of the bathroom in this stage except a few that we took right before we started the next remodel. Since the walls and flooring were tiled before we had to tear it all down to studs and sub floor.
And finally, we got to the point where we could afford to do what we wanted to it and make it MINE! And to give credit where credit is due The Man did both of the remodels himself! Have I ever told you guys how awesome it is to be married to this guy? Cause it is!

The shower curtain and towels came from Wal Mart but for the most part all of the decorations came from yard sales, The Dollar Tree and local thrift stores or were things I already had on hand.
This is the tile we used, luckily they were on clearance so we got a really great deal on them!
The mirror was the original that came with the house but The Man made a frame for it.
Oh and this lovely vanity? The Man built it! Yep! We had looked at ordering one but because the opening was a weird size they were really hard to find. And of course the ones we did find were ridiculous in pricing! I think the best price we could really find ws about $2,000! There was no way we could or would pay that! So The Man, being the awesome guy he is, said "I can build it". So we got a custom vanity for about $450! And $200 of that was the counter top that we bought and cut down to size. And my favorite part?
It's like a secret drawer! I freaking love it! I hated all the wasted space in most vanities and this way we are getting as much storage as we possibly can.
So there it is! What do ya'll think? I was really second guessing myself and what I had envisioned once we got that yellow on the walls but now that it's all together I think it came out amazing!
Until next time!
