The Powder Room.....

As most of you will remember ..... back in oh...say....February....I mentioned that I wanted to start demolition a small remodel of the powder room off the kitchen/family room area. I had found the perfect antique vanity for the space, ordered the copper sink that I wanted for the vanity and knew with absolute certainty the color scheme that I wanted to use....I was ready to start!!!! However, there was one very important step that I was missing from this scenario....FOB! I needed his help to start the process and after our past experiences with bathroom remodels......He wasn't sharing the same amount of enthusiasm as I was in starting this process! So I patiently waited and waited and waited.... finally two weeks ago we started and I am happy to announce that as of today several steps in the process have been completed! First the hideous old brown carpet vintage carpet was removed..... this in itself is a major part of the remodel for me!!!! The ceiling was scraped of that dreadful stuff that they sprayed on ceilings in the 80's called "popcorn" (again, another major step for me) and the sunflower border wallpaper that I so meticiously cut out ..... was scraped off the walls.....the angels were singing and my heart was doing such a "happy dance"!!! Next the old built in vanity was removed and all pieces were quickly carried to the front for curbside trash pick-up..... including the old cultured marble vanity top (another song and dance in my heart)!!!!!! I was sooooo very excited about the enthusiasm FOB was showing for this project....I carried all demo items out of the way (I did it so quickly that Waste Management would have hired me instantly for sanitation duty)....... that by late afternoon demo was "almost" complete! Next step was ..... lighting ..... the old "box" light that housed 3 light bulbs was to be torn out and replaced with the much more chic "can lights" and I am happy to announce FOB completed (well semi completed...) that step last weekend.

So possibly this weekend we will have can lights installed, and flooring started..... this would be the best Mothers Day/Birthday present ever!!!
