The good news is that beautiful bathroom fixtures are available in just about every style and at every price point.
Chris saw that they had a whole bunch of basic cabinetry in stock at our local Home Depot that he could just grab and toss in the back of his truck for about $100 per cabinet and I thought it was a great idea!.But.. We’d just finished working on Jack’s nursery for the last year or so and I didn’t want to start on any big projects.
So I said we could do it, but we really should just put the cabinets up, power through it, and be done in like 2 weeks.Famous last words, of course.. Chris actually got the old shelving ripped out and the new cabinets up in about 24 hours, which was an awesome start to the project.But then it was all the little details like adding in the little wood countertop, trimming things out, and painting all the cabinets that feel like they took forever, as usual.
You’d think I would have learned by now!.I absolutely love it now and I’ve been spending the last little while getting things all organized and super-functional in there and now I’m so glad we took this project on even thought it took just a leeeeeetle longer than I thought it would.
So here’s how the room looked before we started this project.. Ummm, yeah.
That was my bedroom.. Our master bedroom was built an as addition so it’s in its own wing off to one side of our house.I bought myself this one for Mother’s Day and hung it on a hook from our little side porch.
It looked fantastic… for about three days.. Then it started to get a little sunburnt.Then a lot sunburnt.
Then it looked a little weepy.I was watering it regularly, but not too regularly.
