Half a Bathroom, Whole Lot of Awesome

Why is it so much harder to manage your time the less you have to do? Example:  When we were gutting our bathrooms, not only were we working full time, doing our part with the renovation, and running to Lowe's every 5 seconds, but I managed to update the blog four times within that same week.  Up until today however, we have made a point to take a break from home projects and all I want to do is watch re-runs of "The Office."  Subsequently, I haven't shared any pictures of the finished half bathroom.  So here they are!

This is a far cry from where we started:

Bleck.  Let's get back to the "after" pictures.

Here's a close up of our (free) pedestal sink that we got from Craigslist and the Mother of Pearl mirror.

Like the full bathroom, we still have a few finishing touches including painting the baseboards, framing the window (not pictured) and add shelving.  

There are so many reasons we are in love with our new bathrooms:

1)  They're awesome and they look fantastic.

2)  They're clean, structurally sound and are not leaking!

3)  We can actually use the half-bathroom in our bedroom, so our house has essentially gained a bathroom.

Today we painted the house! We got 2 sides done today, and we're going to attempt to finish it up tomorrow.  I'll post some pictures when we're done, I promise!
