powder room

After the crazy excavation in our family room, powder room and entryway we got to pick out a new floor. We picked out a gray stone looking ceramic tile. We did not do this our selves. We had a brand new baby and a two year old that kept us both busy and I was recovering from a c-section. Getting back my usual DIY shape took a while.

Anyway we did decide to take this opportunity to redo the bathroom. I did peel some wallpaper but Steve did the rest.  He found a picture frame from the barn sale we go to and spray painted it (I picked out the paint) then he attached it to the mirror. We picked out a small vanity to replace the elementary school bathroom sink. We also got a wainscoting kit and then painted the top half. So here is the before and after:

 

Here you can see the new paint, wainscoting, vanity, floor and the frame Steve added to the mirror.

The other project we have going right now is the entry way. Here is the before, from the opposite side of the hall:

 This is after we removed wallpaper. We did paint it a very boring cream color and then left it for a year. We hated it so now we are re doing it.

So here it is with the kitchen doors removed, crown molding added and molding added around the door into the living room. Today we painted the bottom half white and we bought the materials to add the wainscoting.  It has a long way to go but it already looks a lot better. I can't wait until its done!
