More projects and the Cutest Thing Ever

As we prepare to welcome Danny's family for a 10-day visit, I've been extra motivated to get something, ANYTHING off our to-do house project list.

Since we moved in, the guest bathroom has been one of the major eye sores of the house.

Your eyes don't deceive you.  This bathroom did in fact come with a coveted, easy-to-access vanity!  No more cumbersome door-opening to get to your ultra-organized bottles and cleaning supplies!

Since it's tucked away upstairs, and usually just houses the Diaper Factory (spraying and storing dirty cloth diapers awaiting laundry. aren't you glad you just read that?), it has stayed low on the priority list.

Yikes.  What a nice way to welcome our guests, right?

Last July, when that crazy Derecho blew through, my mom stayed with us several nights while they were out of power.  She used this guest bathroom.  On the second day, she marched us straight to Home Depot and purchased us a new vanity on the spot.

It only took us til November, which is pretty good, no?

I don't have any after pics to share just yet, but 3 (yes THREE) vanities later, we got the perfect fit and it's now installed (thanks to my dad of course), ready for guests to happily brush their teeth and wash their hands.  The wallpaper is mostly gone, and all that's left to add now is a nice coat of paint plus a new mirror, light, and towel racks.   Maybe a shower curtain would be nice?  Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

But wait, I promised the Cutest Thing Ever.

Here's my little plumber girl, giving instructions and making sure everything is juuust right for Mimi and Aunt Allie.  Miss Bossypants in the making.

Now, Grandpa, THIS is how you install the plastic ring thingy.  We don't want any leaks.

 

What a good little helper she is.

"After" pics to come!
