It's hard to believe, but we've been in our house now for a year and a half as of yesterday! We've done a lot of updating--nothing major, just a lot of painting. We decided our next major project would be remodels on the bathrooms. They are pretty horrible--1989-style vanities and some pretty ugly tile, sinks, mirrors, etc. I thought it would be a good project to tackle in the dead of winter, when there is nothing better to do. Apparently Craig thought otherwise! He took a Friday off in the middle of September to do some "yard work". It turned out to be yard work and then some! I came home to quite the mess in our basement.

Tearing up the old tile |
Craig went to a tiling class at Home Depot to learn how to tile. He decided to start with the basement bathroom since it's the least used. We picked out paint, new tile, and a new vanity at Lowe's...that's the fun part for me, the only thing I'm good at! For the record though, I did help paint. =)

Tile is done! |
If you've been to our house, let me remind you what the basement bathroom looked like BEFORE.
And here is what it looks like NOW!

I love our monogrammed towel! |
Craig did an amazing job for his first bathroom ever! I'm lucky to have such a handy husband! Now, it's onto the next. Only 3 more to go!!!
