It was no secret that Shane and I planned to do a lot of updating to our house when we bought it in 2009. For the most part since then, we have done little projects here and there—replacing the carpet, painting, adding ceiling fans, replacing the tile in our entryway…stuff like that—but nothing too big. Last weekend we tackled our first big project—the hallway bathroom. It wasn’t supposed to be a big project, our plan going in was to just replace the vinyl flooring and vanity. Everything in there is what the builder put in in 1991, so it was time for a little updating and freshening up. Once we starting tearing stuff out though, we found that the builder had an affinity for gorilla glue (discovered when removing the sidepiece of the vanity top) and the previous owner had a love for seashell-print wallpaper (discovered when we removed the mirror). Nice, right? So, as we did more demo, we found more things that needed to be fixed...our small update project became an all-out gut. Shane still has one more towel rack to hang, but I wanted to share pictures of our “finished” project. I hate to brag, but I think that the transformation is pretty darn awesome.
