An update on our home improvements

First - the front of the house!

Before: 


After (still need to put up the house #'s, flag and new railings):


Next - the master bath!

Before:




- what's hard to see in these photos is just how little space there was to access the linen closet & how tiny the shower was.  The linen closet was to the left of the shower, the shower door opened out into the bathroom door (the shower was only 32x32 and the door to get in was only 24" wide when opened).  You can see the LOVELY cultured marble, plastic tile that's some 'unknown' mix of brown purple & pink, and the awesome green glittered laminate floor...

After:




- the grout is getting finished tonight so the guys can remount the toilet & cabinets tomorrow.  I'll put new pics in shortly.
The tile is left over from our basement project and the walls are painted Wheeling Neutral by Benjamin Moore.  The shower takes up the space that used to house both the linen closet & shower, but with the sliding door it will be much more accessible.  We are putting a tall linen cabinet to the left side of the sink/vanity.  I have to order the counter/sink and buy a mirror still.

I still feel like the light's too small... but I worry that any bigger and it would be in the way of the soffett since it's so high.

Also, it's REALLY hard to get a picture of a tiny bathroom! LOL

Great changes!

I don't think the light looks too low, but maybe that's why they had the. On the ceiling before.

good progress!

Oh - I meant the one on the front porch.  I'm not sure why they had the two spot lights on the bathroom ceiling before ... We just relocated the shower light, but put in a new one, and it's SO MUCH brighter in there - the 'reflector' really makes a difference on that light.
