Then we started The Bathroom Renovation. How much trouble can 25 sq ft be?? Let me tell you. Inordinate amounts. We began with shag carpet, a dated oak vanity with an oversized (albiet granite counter) sink, wallpapered and painted on walls, a painted gold metallic light fixture and a broken toilet. The plan was simple: gut it, take down wallpaper, repaint and install a toilet and pedestal sink on slate tile. It started with a combined 40 hours of picking off wallpaper from unprimed drywall in bits the size of quarters. Granted things have gone downhill from there, but it's more of a gentle slope rather than a nice steep hill.
We had the pleasure of my brother Alec's company for Christmas. Maddie warmed up to him right away and really seemed to love playing with him. Unfortunately Grandma Mag couldn't make it, but we're looking forward to seeing her in the upcoming months. N'est pas??
Anyway, we didn't shower Maddie with gifts. She was more than happy to play with the bows and the wrapping paper (sure hope they're non toxic!). But we had a wonderful day and a great meal and a good time was had by all. Thank you Alec for my black Santa. He's lovely.
So, without further ado, here are the pictures..
