Let the Gold Fixture Tour Begin...

Er, I mean, "Let the House Tour Begin...."

Eric and I spent the whole weekend cleaning our house because a.) it needed it and b.) we have family coming to visit this week.  Let's just say that I'm pretty sure our house hasn't been this clean since we moved in this past November.  So we figured that if we were going to clean house, why not take pictures and start our house tour with you all? We will reveal one room at a time because we like to tease. ;)  Since a lot of our recent posts have been about our front entryway, we will introduce you to our "Powder Room" first, as it is right off of our front entry.

Here is a pretty little picture of our loo:

 

To the left of the above picture, you will find our pedestal sink.

 

Check out those gold light fixtures.  I bet you are so jealous. We think they look like sad droopy flowers.  And that sink. Oh, that sink.  Don't you love how you can see the pipe/plumbing coming out of the wall?  The walls in this room are painted with some sort of sponge paint (although it is kind of hard to tell from the two above pictures).  We hate it.  

Since we are giving the grand tour of this little powder room, let's give you an idea of where our heads are at for this space.

Powder Room To-Do List:

-Paint walls

-Put in tile backsplash behind sink

-Install a vanity to provide us with storage space for things like toilet paper, cleaning products, etc.

-Replace mirror or possibly frame in the one already there

-Replace light fixtures (we will more than likely put the fixture above the mirror instead of on the  

  side)

-Install oil rubbed bronze towel bar and toilet paper holder

-Replace all cream colored outlets with white ones

-Install oil rubbed bronze door handle and hinges

-Install new baseboard and crown molding to match the trim in the front hallway

-Do a tile wainscoting

-Put tile down (?)

-Artwork on the walls

 

So there you have it, folks.  This is bathroom number one of four in our house that needs work, but for now, we are enjoying its functionality.  We haven't done a whole lot to this space yet because our main concern has been the front entryway.  Who knows where we will start working next after the entryway is done.  Only time will tell, so stay tuned! :)

Are you looking to renovate a bathroom in your house?  What kind of things are on your to-do list?  We'd love to hear about your bathroom projects, or heck, why not shoot us a link to your bathroom reno? :)

I also want to throw it out there that there may not be a Tuesday or Wednesday post this week because we will be spending time with family that is visiting from out of state. We thank you in advance for your understanding. :)
