Bathroom Renovation

One of the first things we did when we purchased our home was remodel the two upstairs bathrooms.  The previous owner's built the house and they have a much different aesthetic that I have.  The master bath consisted of white ceramic tile flooring and white walls with a black toilet and a black 4x4 inch tiled vanity which contained halloween orange sinks.  I kid you not!

Pierce's bathroom was wallpapered in the ugliest wallpaper I have ever seen!  Shiny silver (think aluminum foil) covered with a variety of 6 to 8 inch animals - bright orange tigers, brown giraffes, etc.  Brown tile floors were "accented" with a chocolate brown sink surrounded by a  halloween orange tiled vanity.

Pierce's sink and vanity have been replaced but the room still isn't complete.  While removing the wallpaper, I discoverd that no sizing had been used on the walls before adhering the paper.  Meaning pieces of drywall came down with the paper! The walls need to be spackled and sanded before painting can be started - a task I will begin early next week.

I purchased some supplies today and picked up a few paint chips as well.  Slowly but surely the room is coming together!
