Let's Remodel!!!

Yes.
You heard me right. Let's just remodel this bathroom and make it all pretty-fied.

This is what my husband and I have been saying to each other for the past month. We have several projects on our list for the house; such as a shed for the backyard, the guest bathroom, the kitchen cabinets and back splash, bead board in the dining room...Oh friends...I could keep going because it is a VERY VERY long list. Extremely!

We haven't really been able to decide on what area to begin with. It's hard making a final decision on what project to start with. If I could do all of them at the same time and everything look all grand and sparkly...Oh I would, I would. But this is reality, not Neverland.

Thankfully, the decision was made for us when the toilet in the guest bathroom started leaking. Ta Da!!! No more thinking. Awhhh...

So, I was convinced that this would probably be the easier of all the projects on our list. It's not going to be difficult in labor per say, but coming to an agreement on what to replace the old with is where the headaches will begin. I'm more for the "it should look nice and not cheap but not cost me an arm and a leg either," and he's more along the line of, "let's just do it."

To give you an idea of what we're working with, here is what the bathroom looks like right now. This very minute. I mean, I just took these pictures.

Isn't it just wretched looking!?! The people that lived here before us attempted to do this faux finish on the walls and it looks horrible. To me, it looks like someone vomited on the wall. YUCK!!!

I'm actually pretty thankful that the toilet started to leak, because maybe now I can have pretty guest bathroom.

I've been looking around the blogosphere and have found some inspiration for what I would like to do with the space. I'm excited!!!

We have chosen this color scheme for the space and it totally relaxes my soul just looking at it.

Doesn't it make you want to sit in this chair and stare out into the waves?

Sand Dollars, seashells, mason jars, rope....yepper that's what I'm going for. Peaceful and calm is what this bathroom is going to be all about. That is until the girls get old enough to torment the poor thing.

I'll be keeping yall updated on the progress we make. Hopefully it'll all be finished within the week since Mike's Dad is here. How nice huh? Come for a visit and we put ya to work. Ha!!

Have a Great Monday!!!
