LIFE BETWEEN THE BUNS~Welcome to my life in the sandwich generation

MORE when I have nothing to say...
About two months ago, we started to re-do our half bath. With only a few available hours a week to work on it, like most happy homeowner projects, it seemed to take forever. Here are some "before" pictures
A mess that never seemed to go away.....
But I'm so happy that the project got finished this past weekend. I really like it. I can't believe we did wallpaper again, but that's just us!
I think my husband did a really great job! Thank you Bobbie!
Just a comment about the countertop: It used to be hunter green, so that had to go. We had a handyman come over and he popped the old top off the cabinet, used a heat gun to remove the old green laminate, and recovered in the light laminate we had picked out and ordered at Lowes. This we it was totally easy to reinstall since it perfectly fit. If we had purchased a new one we would have had to make cut outs and adjustments. This worked so well!
