We are finally starting to wrap up this project just as it's starting to warm up (and thus, we'll need to start devoting our attention to Logan St). We have the mirror, sink, and the paint (well, we're half way there, 2 walls to go) set.
Paint: the color we picked ended up being too dark. We picked out a lighter color but considered texturing the wall. We picked out a texture roller and thought we'd give it a try and if we didn't like it we'd paint it solid. While we didn't do a perfect job, we actually really liked the effect (it kind of looked just like our tile) and with the trim and some artwork adding a splash of color, it will really come together. Also, texturing the wall really hid some of our obvious shortcomings in mudding the drywall. We'll also be getting some estimates concerning texturing the ceiling in the next few weeks.
Holes for the lights/ outlets/ switches are all ready to be hooked up. The wire has already been run to the basement/ attic. It shouldn't be too long before this bathroom is complete. And it's exactly how we've been picturing it. THIS is why we bought (2) fixer-uppers. Because the finished result is worth the wait/ time/ effort/ money. Yay!
