Promise # 1: I promised back in October that I would show you our costumes. I am disappointed to say we didn't win any contests but just as a refresher we went as X-Men. I was Storm, my hubby was Scott/Cyclops, Jasmine was Rogue, and PB was Professor Xavier.
PB looks like a little boy but that's okay it was only one night :) I should have made sure she had in her pink paci. Oh well! Her suit I showed in a tutorial in the link above and her "shirt and tie" were sewn onto a bib and the edges were tucked in her coat.
Promise #2: I made a couple weeks before the costumes when I promised to show you our bathroom remodel. It did take us a while (3 months-ugh!) but it has been finished for a while so I need to make the grand reveal! This project was definitely wayward! There were a ton of set backs but we finally finished around Christmas. It was nice to have our bathroom back finally!
A list of what we did:
- Tore out the tile on the walls and replaced it with wainscoting
- Replaced the vinyl flooring we put in right before we moved in with tile
- Replaced the thresholds, baseboards, and quarter round
- Touched up paint
- Framed the mirror
- Added accessories
Man that list is a lot shorter than I was expecting. All of those projects are time consuming, though!
Here is a refresher as to what they looked like before we moved in:
For the past 4 years:
Under construction. The walls are ripped out. The floors are mid-tiling project and yes that is the toilet in the bath tub.
And here it is finished up!
My accesories are from Michael's and Walmart :) |

This is the only outlet in the bathroom and it used to be two plugs. My number one request since we moved in was to give me an extra outlet :) |
Four hooks is so much better than 1 towel rod! |
It is so nice to have the bathroom back and it feels like my own spa!
Here I am making good on my promises! I hope you enjoyed!

I think the mirror is my favorite part. Your costumes were great!
fabulous re-do! love it.
Nice job!! I remember now when you mentioned it before, I thought wainscoting would be a great way to just cover up the tile in our master bath.
(As we all know, that's as far as my home improvement projects get: thinking.)

I love the trimmed mirror andthe color choice:)
