Our little house was in great shape when we bought it. Although it was originally built in the mid 1950s, previous owners had done a lot of upgrades in the late eighties, early nineties. So, the house has many comforts, but some of the design is a bit dated. The bathrooms are the two rooms that really scream 1989, so we decided to change things around a bit.
A full bathroom remodel is out of our budget right now, so we are going for the next best thing: cosmetic upgrades. Mike started work on the guest bathroom this week. He tore out all of the existing fixtures, including the vanity. The towel bars and the sliding glass shower doors are all gone - thank goodness! What really dated the bathroom were the gold fixtures - so just having all the gold removed from the room makes it that much easier on the eyes.
He is working on painting the room, in a chocolate brown. We thought it was going to be a bit milkier, but the end result is quite pretty. I am hoping that with new lighting, possibly a new vanity, and brushed chrome fixtures, the bathroom will be sufficiently spruced up. I will post pictures once I have a few to post!
