I wish I had 'before' pics to show you of the bathrooms, which each had their own color themes.
The 3/4 bath off the family room had blue sink, blue toilet, blue shower stall, a textured vinyl floor in an assortment of blues, and a bright blue laminate counter. Oh, and the light fixture had a baby blue backplate and the globe shaped chimneys had a painted on, blue floral pattern. It's all going, except for the shower. We chose a tile patterned vinyl, that had just hints of blue mixed in with earthier colors. It allows the remaining shower to belong, but not take over the room.
The main bathroom was the 'brown bathroom' with brown sink, toilet, and tub...and glossy dark almost-burgundy brown countertop. The flooring was a 70s pattern beige...Not terrible, not great. The tub is staying. Because of the sizes, we wanted one vinyl that would work in both this and the master bath. Anything in this room needed to coordinate with the tub and work well, of course, with the new cream colored vanity Hubby will build.
Believe it or not, this is much calmer looking |
We lost the lowered ceiling and boxed fluorescent light in the kitchen, which was a great improvement to start. Now Hubby and Prince Stoic have a good start on transforming it into the room it will be.
It was a challenge to create trim pieces to match the new flooring where the kitchen floor edge is open to the family room below, but Hubby made it happen. After putting in toekicks, they installed the flooring, then placed base cabinet boxes. More and better yet to come!
