Don't Judge Me!

Or my bathroom.

Ok to lessen the shock of what I am about to oh so bravely share with you, first I am going to show you my downstairs bathroom so that you will have some nice images to retain in your mind!

 

I LOVE our downstairs bathroom.

Ok, now that you have seen the pretty and you are about to see the ugly, let me just try to explain myself first....

We have two bathrooms, the downstairs bathroom is the one that the guests see/use, it's the one I use.

Our upstairs bathroom is another story....it looks exactly like it did when we moved in 3 years ago. I've not taken the time to bother with it since I don't use it and guests don't see it.

However we are going to have guests staying with us during our Spring Market and to be totally honest it is a complete and total yuck fest in there. Are you ready for it? *Sigh* Here it goes.....

 Random cheap laminate trim that previous people never even bothered to finish.

 Really gross stick on green tile...and some sort of backer board underneath.

 Crappy drywall seams.

 And this, this is above the shower. It's the only attic access we have.....but it's not large enough to fit through!

 Guess what? We have well water.....that rusts REALLY bad only in the upstairs shower for some reason.

 Count em up....1...2....3.....and a space for yet another but they don't have one there. That many lights for an itty bitty tiny bathroom, makes sense right? HA!

So today I decided something has to give asap.

I went in there this afternoon and got a little curious by peeling up just a bit of tile and backer board and guess what was underneath?

  Hardwood flooring like the rest of the house!

So then of course, I couldn't stop. Just me and a hammer in there for about an hour till there was no trace left of the funky green tile.

 I'm going to paint the floor white {I have a ton of left over white floor paint from my stairs}. I have big plans for this tiny icky bathroom!

I warned you it was bad! 

I am going to redo the whole bathroom using only items I already have on hand since we can't afford to go out and buy anything new, so this should be fun interesting.

This is what happens when you are poor and you don't own credit cards. Hey, maybe someone from Lowes will read this and offer me a gift card for blogging?  *Heavy sigh* probably no such luck. 

Stay tuned!
