Ryan's Project!

Ryan loves a project. We have been wanting to change several things in our bathroom since we moved in. So, we started...there isn't anything HUGE that we are changing. However, it will look so much nicer when we are finished.

Here he is cutting out the sheetrock so he can get the shower out. He is going to make a tiled shower! So pretty! This is our shower insert in the doorway as we try and figure out how to get it out of the bathroom! It was more difficult than it sounds!
Surveying the situation...looks good. On to the tub tile!
He is taking the white, shiny tile off! Yeah!
Demo is done!
We bought a "floor" only shower insert so we don't have to try and tile the floor and get it to drain correctly. Then we picked out some tile for the shower and the front of the tub and tub backsplash. Nothing too fancy, just tile. Then we are going to get new coutertops (probably granite), new mirrors and light fixture. We are also trying to figure out the best way to restain the cabinets. We are wanting to take the doors somewhere and have them dipped and stripped by someone else, then we are going to stain them! We aren't changing the floor or walls, just other cosmetic things. Next will be the guest bathroom! Same thing. Just new counter, mirror, light fixture and stain the cabinets in there! Our final project (if we live here long enough) will be our kitchen which will be a MAJOR overhaul! One day....

Wow, impressive! Can't wait to see it all completed! The thought of a major project right now makes my head spin! It will be wonderful for you though to have it just how you want it!

I want to do that to my shower too. I HATE my shower!!!! That is an understatement. Ours is just like the one you took out. WAY too hard to clean. You might call my dad and ask what he would charge to dip and strip your cabinets. He stains also...just a thought. You guys want to come to our house next? :)

I hate white shiny tile. Too bad it's in BOTH our new bathrooms. Like you said, one day...

Everything is looking great. Isn't it nice having 'handy' husbands?
