Remodeling on a Budget!

Hubs and I were ecstatic when we purchased our new home almost a year ago. It had plenty of great attributes, and it was well under in cost what the bank approved us for.

Pros:
Hardwood floors throughout (minus laminate flooring in kitchen, tile in bathroom)
3 Bedrooms
Spacious basement
Detached garage
Paved driveway
New roof
New windows
Pellet stove

Cons:

Yes, this is the bathroom. The only bathroom we've got, and this is what it looks like. Not really our taste or style.

I think it goes without saying that something needed to be done here, and fast (my apologies, previous owner!). Luckily, my parents were sympathetic to our situation and offered us $1000 to remodel our lavatory as a wedding gift. Hooray!

We are now on the path to a fresh new bathroom:

Notice that the bathroom has been painted already? That's "Fig" by Eddie Bauer.

Also, I realize it looks like I just stood around and took pictures. Let me assure you that I put in a lot of time with ye olde pry bar. I'm a champion.

The next adventure involves pulling out the old tub/shower unit and replacing it with the new tub. If I'm lucky, I'll have my Diana Mini before the Great Tub Switch occurs!
