Remodelling fun
So we decided to start freshening up the house, and so far have only done really minor things — lighting, faucets, a couple trim updates. This weekend, we started our first “real” project, remodelling the guest bath.
We are not doing anything drastic like moving walls around, but it is a total refresh of the existing space. New flooring, going from linoleum to ceramic tile. New walls, tearing out the floral wallpaper in favor of freshly painted walls (even using eco friendly zero VOC paint). I’m no tree hugger, but it is pretty nice to paint without the fumes. We’re also painting the cabinets, installing some nice pulls where there were none, and installing new faucets. Finishing it up with new lighting and new towel bars and such.
We are at the mid point now — the walls are done, the cabinets are mostly painted and waiting for their final coat. There was a small water leak from the toilet, but after removing and inspecting everything around the area thankfully showed no wood damage. The subfloor has been stabilized in preparation for the tile, which will go in in the next day or so.
Long story short, we had hoped to get a bit further, but these projects always take double what you think they will 
Photos will be posted when it is finished.
