Surprise, Surprise

So about those surprises I mentioned the other day…

I’m sure you’re all thinking, “What the heck am I looking at?” That, my friends, is our awesome half bathroom complete with faux wood toilet seat, oversized vanity, brass light fixture, and pink-ish/purple-ish tile. Here, let me help you visualize the space just a bit better.

I’m sure this style works for some people but it ain’t us. So, while Kyle was out of town over the weekend boozin’ it up at a bachelor party, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Other than some minor assistance with the sink (thanks, Tom!), I was able to get most of the bathroom demolished on my own. Let me just tell you, that vanity was a paaaaiiiiiiin. I may have put several holes in the dry wall and had to kick one side of the vanity until it detached from the wall, but I got that sucker out. It came out in mostly one piece but then completely fell apart when I had to drag it down the front steps and into the garage.

I’m still working on taking out the toilet and the rest of the floor, but our plan is to put in new lighting, paint, and tile this weekend. The new fixtures will start going in next week but the vanity we picked will be out of stock for a couple of weeks. I’ll leave you with this shot of me pulling up the mortar that was underneath the tile:

I’m stoked to be stepping things up a notch and getting into these larger projects! Here’s to hoping it turns out as well in real life as it appears in my head…
