UGLY BATHROOM

We have a bathroom in our basement. It is a blessing because it is right by the playroom, and if you have kids you know that when they have to go they have to go RIGHT NOW! But there was a problem, the bathroom was on the, shall we say, scary side! The kids hated to go in there( to be honest, I would not go in there either) This room was on the top of our list to fix up. Here is a before pic. Matt didn't like that he happened to be in the mirror so I smiley faced him :o)

Here is another before pic. It really is sad that it doesn't capture all the creepiness. But it was creepy!

Here is our after! We took down the cabinet that was above the sink and glued a mirror to the wall (they left behind this mirror). Then we built a frame out of 1x4 and 1x6 boards. We painted the cabinet and changed that door and drawer pulls. Painted the walls and put down new flooring, and decorated a bit. Before

After

We are so happy to be done, and just in time for our guests to use this Monday ;o) Makes me want to get my bathroom done now! I am happy to report that the kids use this bathroom now and are pretty happy about it. They even flush now, something that they would never do before because they just wanted to get out of there :o)Here is Matt working hard. Because it is a bathroom and in the basement we couldn't put down wood :o( We found this product and it is amazing. It looks nice and is waterproof. It was good practice since we want to put wood upstairs. It took us 4 hours to get it down. We thought that it would be easy because it was so small, but it was tricky because we had to make so many cuts but it was well worth it! Soon I will have to post some pictures of the kids!
