10 Years


Ten years ago I moved to Lincoln.  I have lived in this house in Lincoln longer than I've lived anywhere in my whole life!  Does that mean I'm from Lincoln? I never know what to say when people ask me that question.

The Great Bathroom Remodel Project

Ok - I thought I would be posting these pictures much earlier... but the bathroom took longer than I expected - and we ended up not finishing until late the night before the girls came... so I never got around to taking that final "completed" picture.

So - here is the process:

These are the "Before" pictures... (but actually we had already pulled out the carpet).

May 4, 2010













The first step was to pull out the cabinets and the shower doors.  (You can see the toilet sitting in the shower stall).

May 17, 2010






The tile was next (I LOVE how the tile came out!)

May 18, 2010



After the tile they installed the cabinets:

Next - they installed the granite and sinks and faucets
Then we painted the room and then we got split the electricity to two boxes and installed the new lights and then hung the mirrors.


They refinished the shower pan.
We installed the crown moulding (with rope accent to tie with the cabinet rope accent).

We got the knobs put on the cabinets the night before the girls arrived!


The whole time we waited for the shower doors.... and waited... and waited.  (The original guy that was installing them stopped returning phone calls and finally my contractor called someone else to come measure and make the doors... they finally got installed on the first day that the girls were here.)
So - finally, the completed project!!
