The Great Wieda Adventure: The Upstairs is Complete!

We have officially declared the upstairs complete! Last week Cassidy and I tore apart the upstairs bathroom, added moldings, replaced baseboards, refinished the vanity, and painted (and painted, and painted). It's only a bathroom, why did it feel like it took forever to paint? And why is it when you're working on a bathroom it always feels like you're hugging the toilet? (Between painting the plumbing behind the toilet, replacing the baseboard behind the toilet, painting the wall behind the toilet, painting the trim behind the toilet, and chasing runaway screws behind the toilet - they always go back there - I think I spent at least a day behind the toilet) We were trying to surprise Jim but we didn't get it done before he got home that Friday - so he got to hang the lights and replace the faucets. Cassidy picked the color - it was a pretty good compromise and seemed to go with the bone colored shower and toilet, the gray colored ceramic tile floor, the cream colored trim and the yellowy colored counter. We decided that a black cabinet would look better with that yellow tinted cultured marble vanity top than the cream color and we found glass knobs to give it a vintage look. We didn't replace the flooring because it is fairly new, and we didn't have the budget or the ambition to tear out the shower - which is also in good shape. All in all we're pretty happy with our "lick and a prayer" makeover.
