There's the beautiful princess tub that I looked for on Craigslist for over a year. That Harris almost didn't get because we got into an argument the morning he was to go get, that Madeline rescued from adult drama by quietly saying, 'but my princess tub...' with her head hung low making the adults feel pretty low.
It's been sitting, waiting upstairs, for two-ish years.
There was a gross shower here. Now it is gone forever and the tub will go there using existing plumbing.
Us checking out paint colors. We all mutually decided we liked a peachy pink color for the walls.
Harris getting rid of paneling after I got rid of the shower stall. Well, I unscrewed and unbolted everything so he could chuck it in the dumpster across the street.
The last of the paneling is now gone from the house. I think. I'm sure I'll find another little bit here or there.
The tile arrived in August. Harris built a partition wall separating the entrance to what will one day be our room from the girls bathroom. We found board that were quite similar and tacked those up!
We let Madeline pick the paint color, she went with a pale peachy pink that I think will hold up nicely for a decade or more of heavy use by some splashy little girls. Harris had to paint because I couldn't - between getting home and being exhausted or getting sick, it just wasn't happening.
We had someone else lay the tile because of all of our amazing skills, tile isn't one of them.

On the first day of tiling, the tile guys gave to me, waterproofing cement board!
On the second day of tiling, the tile guys gave to me, mortared in tile without grouting.
And on the third day - grout!
We used Fireclay tile for the border with a hex pattern we bought online for the floor. We have some clean up to do on the wood floors that become the hallway.
The trim is a mimic of the trim throughout the house.
The vanity is from IKEA, obviously, they make great sinks and vanities. We also got the matching dresser so the girls have a place to store towels, soaps, and things now and later.

The view from the main hallway. We got a crazy good deal on the light fixture and mirror from an interior designer off craigslist.
We've hung curtains and a towel bar and little things like that. We're very happy with how it turned out, even it this tiny room took 7 months instead of 7 weeks.
