The last of the renovations!!

It has finally happened, the last of the major renovations is over! The whole house has been repainted and the flooring is done. I'm really glad that it's over. We can just live here now and not have to think about all the things that we hate. There are still little things that we'd like to do, but the major things are finished. It's been 3 years in the making, that's alot of renovation! So I've been blogging our progress, and yesterday and today I did the 1/2 bath downstairs which was the last of it. Now I admit, it's not perfect. I should have sanded a few areas a little better than I did but I'm 6 months pregnant and we've been renovating the entire 6 months and I'm tired! Henry is on vacation and due back tomorrow, so he has no clue what the bathroom looks like now. Here's a before and an after. :)

 Ok, so I painted the walls purple not long after we moved here. It was due to a desire to cover the hideous wallpaper and no money left in the budget due to the massive exterior renovations we were doing. The pink outside trumped the floral inside :-P I had some paint left over from other projects so I mixed it together and this is what I got. Now I didn't hate it, but I was over it, sick of it, and it didn't go with the rest of our new "back to neutral" color scheme. It was also time for the "what was I thinking" black accents to hit the road, and the clown light was long since overdue to be banished back to the circus.

So, I painted the walls a nice "lemongrass" green that is cool and soothing and a little spa like. The hardware all got a fresh shot of nickel spray paint to match the faucet and new light, the mirror frame went tan, and the clown light got fed to a tiger. I was going to paint the picture frames tan too, but too much of a good thing is still too much and did I mention I was tired? :-P It really brightens up the space and goes nicely with the latte color in the hall. I am mostly excited about the new light. It was only $25, and took all of 10 minutes to install and I feel that it was totally worth it. I am so glad that this is all over. We still have some trim stuff to deal with and some caulking, but those things literally take minutes instead of weekends. Hope you like the renovations, party to follow!!
