Have you missed me.....

I haven't posted in a long while....many things were going on...holidays and birthdays, trying my hand at my own business and holiday decorating for a lot of people (and I do mean A LOT .... after doing several very large homes and a couple of smaller ones and then throw in my own home......tinsel and glitter was in places I really don't care to discuss).  On top of all the holiday decorating, FOB and I started yet another remodel....the Hall Bathroom!  It was a tremendous amount of work, but, FOB came through with flying colors and if I must say so myself ...... it is my "favorite" bathroom in our house.  Here are a couple of before pics...
Picture #1 ... Before
I  guess you really don't realize how bad things look until you update....


 There were so many things that needed to be addressed in this bathroom......

  1.  Flooring (bad, bad, bad choice for builders to install carpet in bathrooms!
  2. Wallpaper.... I did love this paper in the 80's when I had FOB paper the bath in this Waverly pattern.
  3. Tile..... need we even go there beige and country blue..... Gross!
  4. Vanities.... double sinks..... double awful.....
  5. Door - 3 kids..... sharing the same bathroom growing up ......  I won't go into details but frame and door needed major fixing!
  I knew the exact look I wanted for this bath ..... and I think we nailed the Country French look I was going for.....
I promise this IS the same bathroom!
The vanity was an old dresser that completely changed styles with a little paint and new hardware!
Love the door and crystal doorknob!
I think the improvement is remarkable!  Nothing like a wedding to make you get the house in order.....
Less than 5 months away...... YIKES there are sooooo many more areas to be addressed!
