Totally worth being displaced for a week!
Y’all…it is with extreme happiness that I report that the Great Bathroom Remodel and Hardwood Replacement of 2k10 is complete. Want to see some pics? Hope so!
Here is the before:

I swear to goodness that I recaulked that bad boy 3 times in my 3 short years of living here…and that brown just above the tub has always remained. It grosses me out thinking about it.

Isn’t it beautiful?! I swear to goodness that I took a picture that was just like the one above, but I can’t find. Booo! Either way, the pureness of it all is amazing. Also amazing? The shower curtain (before):

And the After:

Isn’t she beautiful? PTL for Christmas, nice Mom’s and Anthropology!
Some of you may recall that in September my house flooded. As such, I had to remove the carpet in my closet, lest it cause all of my beautiful clothes to smell like mildew. So, for about 5 months, I got dressed on this:

Why, yes, yes, that IS in fact concrete. Thanks for noticing. Here’s the after:

Y’all. I know I’m biased and all, but I ADORE this tile. The dignity loss was totally worth it. Also, I may just pull up a chair and live in my closet it’s so awesome. I’ll be in my closet if you need me!
Apparently wood doesn’t like water…which is weird to me since it needs water to live. I guess it’s more accurate to say that dead wood doesn’t like water. So, when my closet (and front half of the house) flooded, this also happened:

It’s been just about as special as you could imagine having to literally body slam yourself into your front door in order to get it to open. Here’s what it looks like Post Hardwood Floor Replacement:

The door actually closes! With ease! There, that’s better. Here’s the main area of my place where the wood was also replaced (before):

…and after:

I know it looks exactly the same, except that I prom the floors are new! Plus, I drank all that beer that was sitting on my dining room table. And, I wore a different coat that day. See? And just for shits and giggles, the hallway before:

…and after:

Doesn’t she look amazing?! I’m extremely pleased. Now…pray it doesn’t flood. Ever again. Pleaseandthankyouverymuch.
