Yeah. You see when we moved into our house, four summers ago now, it was as if the previous owners were halfway through a bathroom remodel of their own and then decided to sell the place.
The trim work was left unfinished, and the walls were half-painted and streaky. And yet they'd done nothing about the boxy vanity that nearly blocked the narrow entryway, or the wood-framed window inside the tub that was rotting from what was probably decades of water damage.
Well ...
After many, many nights of cursing the previous owners. Fighting with a tile cutter. Scraping the old paint off the walls like a mad man. Debates about colors and decor. Gathering bids from contractors. Lots of paint coats. And spending more money than we'd like to acknowledge ...
Our bathroom is finished.
