Here are a few of the BEFORE pictures. Everything was very worn, pretty grungy, and dated. There were holes in the sheetrock from the door knob, many holes from old towel bars no longer there, an old mouse hole in the corner, mildew in 2 small areas inside the wall, and outdated lighting.
Sunshine has been working on refinishing the antique washstand to use as the new vanity. We wanted something unique and interesting to use as the vanity and not just a stock vanity from the local Home Depot. It has a curved front and some fun details that help add some character. I let Sunshine take the initiative on refinishing it. She is learning a lot and I think she has caught the "upcycling" bug after working on this project. She has gotten the old finish stripped off, sanded it down, and painted it a nice barn red color. She is really good at painting things like this, she has the patience and attention to the little things to deal with all the details on this piece. We distressed some of the high wear areas and added stain over the top of the paint. It added the rustic look we were shooting for.
Here are some pictures from the progress on the remodel of the bathroom.
We still have to pick out the hardware and figure out the countertop choices for the vanity. We are actually leaning towards a unique penny countertop. Here is a picture of it laid out on a portion of the top to get an idea of how it might look. We'd cover the pennies with an epoxy finish so it would be smooth and easy to clean. It is growing on me.
Here is the enthusiastic demo crew. Actually they LOVE to do demolition. Here Spud Man is wishing I'd quit taking pictures and hop out of the way so he could get this piece out the door and Tobers is in the background. It was only the 100th picture of the day, I am not sure why he was getting annoyed. haha
Until the next update!
