So Long Outdoor Plumbing, Thanks to Super Tim!

Isn't this a vision??
The toilet on the deck adds a certain thrill to a mundane task...

Tim & I didn't learn our lesson from our last bathroom remodel. We somehow decided to do it all over again for our main bathroom.

So long to the 1970 Harvest Gold speckled tile (that only went up about 1 foot. There is no shower...)
So long to the shallow tub that is only fit for small children.

So long linoleum & yellow paint.
(Yes, that was my fault anyway.)

Alec likes demolition a little too much.
Give the boy a hammer & turn him loose!

Tim's dad was kind enough to come help with the heavy duty part. THANK YOU!! That tub was a handful!
One week later,
Say Hello to 2009! I feel like my whole house has been lifted from the lingering 70's!

We found marble tile on closeout at Lowe's and saved a ton of money. I was so excited! We were only a little short, though..... so a little hour drive to another Lowe's saved the day. Thank heavens!

Tim made new doors for the old vanity, and I spray painted it with a metallic brown. It turned out great! We also got a granite countertop from a granite remnant place. Woo Woo!

Hello Shower & Soaker Tub. Love it!
(This picture shows the actual color better.)
Tim, you are an amazing remodeler.
Thank you for all you do!
(Of course, you have an amazing assistant, too....)

It looks amazing...

I've got to ask, though (as I've got a project in my head) how did you refinish the rest of the cabinet? Did you sand and prime, or what?

I love the color!

I just spray painted over the old paint & it worked great. I primed only where it was the natural wood without any paint already on it. If it is the wood with the clear coat (that makes it shiny) you will need to sand first. It is a Great alternative to replacing the whole vanity.

Wow! That looks so good! I need to stop by and have a looksie in person. We're leaving for Oakland on Sunday, so I need to stop by soon and pick up the clothes.
