This Is What Happens When I Have Nothing to Stress About ...

A few days before C.J.'s birthday, I decided that I just didn't really have much to stress about. I mean, I had all Christmas shopping done, house was clean, all the Christmas decorations were up and ready and things had been like this for weeks. I guess I was just too calm that I needed to create something to stress about. So, I decided to remodel the hall bathroom.

I started demolition, then realized that we did not have any before pictures, so I did snap a few on my phone.

Here is the before ....

And, here is the after .....

After it was all finished, we had scraped the ceiling of all of its popcorn texture, took down a soffet that housed the lighting, retextured the ceiling and walls where the wallpaper once was, painted the ceiling, walls and trim, hung a new mirror, cabinet and towel ring and bar, accessorized and voila! All in about three days! Yes, I burned some midnight oil (acutally up til about 3am one time!) and wore myself out, and yes, I was stressed. But, I was very pleased with the outcome! Oh, and a big thank you to Charlie for his help in taking down the soffet, and to my dad for his help in doing some of the finishing touches (like putting together the cabinet, hanging it and the toilet paper holder!)

Also, on the day of C.J.'s party, my dad got rooked into hanging a new storm door on the front door for us. A great big thank you for that one!!!! It looks awesome!!!
