An unexpected project

Over the last year of living in our house, every time we need to go to the bathroom, we would squeeze between the vanity and the door. There was definitely not much room as the vanity was much too big for the bathroom space.





Somehow the toilet paper holder had also come off the wall and there was a hole that needed to be patched. For months, we had been thinking we were going to fix the hole and paint the bathroom. That was all. As we got into the project, we were talking with our neighbor who said they had a great vanity from Ikea that worked with the space (their bathroom and house are almost exactly laid out like ours). We saw theirs and thought it fit really well. So we decided to go on a hunt on Craigslist to see if we could find anything.

Boy, was it our lucky day! Not only did we find a similar one, but we also found it for $100 cheaper! Some person had been buying it to remodel, they bought 2 and then only needed 1. It was perfect! Jeff slaved away at painting since the bathroom was too small for both of us to paint at the same time. We also got a new cabinet to go above the toilet so there is more storage. I absolutely love how the bathroom turned out. With a few new fixtures, a new vanity, and some new paint, our bathroom is as new as it was when we moved in.


On to the next project of moving the bar in the basement and getting a couch to sit on!
