My new favorite color: Not Red

With the red wall gone, time to put up some fresh stuff.  

And it has never looked prettier...

Little pieces to finish up...

The Red Wall

With the bathroom tile done, and finishing touches in the works, ON TO THE NEXT PROJECT!

This red wall had been a source of many scrapes and stress over the last 9 years.  Such thick texture. And so red. Why???

We cheered when this started.  Oh so fun to tear sheet rock off the wall.  I even got in on the action. 

Done!

The Tile's DONE!

After a *few* months, the tile work ended today.  I can't even begin to describe how awesome that feels. We're thankful for Uncle Jeff's artistry.  

Because it's beautiful...

Shut the Door!

A bathroom need s door, right?

Darcy, watching Dad's late-night work. 

Done!

In time for Thanksgiving!

The goal: Get the tile up behind the toilet so we can have it available for Thanksgiving!

Done!

Vanity, Vanity

More progress!  A vanity top to finish off our custom bathroom cabinet.

Plumbing the sink.

Quite resourceful, girls. LOL.

Repurposed mirror from the living room, new light fixture, faucet, and soap. Ready to go!

Painting It Pink

Another sign of progress: painting!  Since Charis and Gwyneth got moved into the new bedroom, we decided it was time to update Lily and Meg's room -- the paint was in desperate need of some refreshing. So, they settled on Lighthearted Pink.  :-)  

They helped for about 10 minutes, so I made sure to get them in a couple of pics.

But they all really did help, especially with keeping Darcy occupied. And in 2 days, we had it all done and reset.

Two very happy girls.  Worth all the work.
