For marriage to be a success,
every man and every woman should have his and her own bathroom.
The end.

Let's take a look at bathrooms today. 

Planning rooms that I will hate cleaning for the rest of my life

just wasn't my favorite part of the remodel, but I tried to fake enthusiasm.

Plus, the bathrooms in this house were pitifully pitiful!!! 

James' bathroom before...

After..
This bathroom has no window so I wanted to paint it a very light color, but Mom convinced me to do the opposite. We painted it a dark, handsome gray causing the white counter tops, lights, and towels to really pop. 

The old white cabinets were really plain and ugly. We painted them a Sherwin Williams color called Cardboard.

Then I used a gel stain in dark walnut to glaze the cabinets.

The end result was definitely an improvement.

I used rectangular sinks in this bathroom and faucets with a masculine, industrial feel. 

James loves birds, so I framed this poster of woodland birds and their eggs. Bird nests and eggs sit on the top shelf of a towel rack made by my grandfather.

My bath, before...

After.

We added the window between the mirrors. 

This bathroom is a bit more feminine with round sinks and mirrors, and curvier faucets.

The old shower had a ceiling!!

Updated shower

All done!

Love ya'll,
Shelli

When a child is locked in the bathroom with the water running
and he says he's doing nothing but the dog is barking,
call 911.

My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place
where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.
