Our (Almost) Fancy Bathroom

Well, we are about a week (we hope), away from finishing our first fully remodeled room in the main house!

It's a bathroom.

I have never been so excited about a bathroom in my life. Ever.

For those of you who read the post where I gave a house tour, or for those of you who have actually been to the house...our bathroom situation is, well let's be nice and say it was less than great. It was a no-brainer that the first thing we would need would be a new bathroom. 

And my oh my is it gonna be a bute!

Luckily, I have a hard working guy who knows how to do plumbing and electrical work, because he didn't just remodel a current bathroom. Oh no. He turned my craft room (may it rest in peace) into a whole new bathroom! It is spacious, and will be painted a pretty color called "comforting blue". 

We may not even need to remodel the rest of the house, we can just live in the bathroom.

On second thought, a new kitchen would be nice.

I am holding out on pictures until it is completely finished (mostly because I want it to be a SURPRISE!) ...(also mostly because I don't have any pictures of the room itself).  

I DO have a picture of the vanity though! So here, check out my project for the week.

Here's the vanity tipped on it's side, getting ready to be sanded. 

This is about halfway through the sanding process. You can see the exposed lighter wood. The front is a thick veneer, while the legs are solid wood, though I'm not sure what kind.

We found this vanity at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Overall it is in great shape, aside from a few scratches. It even has a nice granite top. I'm sanding it down and will be refinishing the wood with a lighter stain that will match the trim and door of the room! Yay for DIY!

Keep checking back for updates! 

Also coming soon.... Mayhew Creek Farm Instagram! Because everyone loves pictures! (And I love posting pictures from my phone!)
