905 E Pembroke: Our latest completed project: Upstairs bathroom

I am so excited that our bathroom was finished a couple of months ago. This project is what afforded us the ability to invite others to live with us. Before, the only other working bathroom was on the first floor, right inside our bedroom.

I used to "affectionately" refer to our upstairs bathroom as 1950's barbie decor. It cam complete with a laminate floor, pressed wood sink vanity, and a tub that used to have a fern growing in it. The walls were two toned with plastic sheets of fake white tile with black grout on the bottom and salmon colored plastic on the top. The salmon plastic sheets extended to cover the ceiling and they had begun to sag. Oh, and lets not forget the radiator painted bright green.

I thought the bathroom was so awful that I submitted it to HGTV, sure it would get some attention. I think they thought it was so awful they didn't even know what to do with it, because I didn't hear from them at all.

Here are the pictures of the hideousness:

Pretty hideous huh?

However, I am proud to say that after much watching of HGTV, looking online, and thumbing through REAL SIMPLE and Pottery Barn magazines, our bathroom is quite lovely and modern.
