House Progress Galore

This past weekend was very productive! We made a lot of progress on the two bathrooms that we're in the middle of renovating, and McGee also worked on some electrical stuff going on in our kitchen. So, I took pictures of some of the progress that was visible! Stuff like plumbing, electrical, etc isn't very interesting to look at in pictures, so I didn't document any of that! Just trust me that it's all moving along quite nicely :)

For our Master Bathroom, we're almost done!  I have completed the paint touch-ups, and McGee installed the new faucet and the toilet paper holder. All that's left in there is putting up the wood trim (painted white) and finding some towel bars and knobs. So, we're pretty much there! Here are some before and after pictures:
Before!  Pink toilet and all. 

After!! I wish I'd gotten a picture of the faucet "before"... It was a brass and silver combo. But we kept the sink and the mirror, and just replaced everything else. 

And I have a picture that I just need a frame for to put on the walls in here! I think it'll look nice with the paint color. 

Here's a close-up of the new faucet! I love it. The old brass-silver combo one always bothered me. 

For the downstairs bathroom, we got all of the beadboard up on the walls!  And we painted, but I think I'd mentioned that already (I just hadn't taken a picture yet...). We have lots of trim to put up in there, but we've painted all of it white which I think will look nice with the white beadboard. We're also trying to figure out our ceiling for that bathroom... We think we might go for something kind of fun/bold on the ceiling. Here are some before and after pictures:
Before! That's a green toilet. 

Here's the original ceiling and vanity. We've pulled down the ceiling because it was gross and falling apart. We just have to figure out what to put back up there... 

Another before. 

And here's a paper towel holder. They had them in all of the bathrooms for some reason... 

And here's how it looks right now: 

Still needs trim, etc, but you can see the blue color and the beadboard! 

And here you can see a little glimpse of the flooring! We've been keeping it covered with a drop cloth so we don't mess it up with all of our work in there. It's a grey porcelain tile that looks like wood. We already have the new sink and vanity and toilet but we just have to install them after we get the trim up. Another big project for this bathroom is that we're going to attempt to put in a light switch for the light in there... There is currently only a pull-chain on the light, which is kind of a pain! We may have to hire an electrician for this task though because of the weird configuration in this bathroom. 

That's the status of most of our progress right now!  I hope you're all having a great week!
