The start of our home improvement projects

As we can't sell the condo, we have decided that we are staying where we are for quite a while. While it isn't our "ideal" home, it is still a nice place. This March I will have owned this unit for 8 years! The only room in the entire condo that wasn't painted was the downstairs bathroom. Well, that is not the case any longer. I unfortunately do not have any before pictures. Just picture an all white room. Here is the "new" bathroom:

The mirror is old but the light fixture is new...not that you can really tell in this picture.

John decided to put up an "accent" chair rail. It is just on the one wall. I wasn't thrilled at first, but now it is really growing on me. I like how the white really pops.
A better picture of the toilet. Just what you wanted to see!
I bought this shelving unit YEARS ago. When we, one day, make this bathroom used more often for guests (we will take the furniture in our second bedroom and move to the basement next to this bathroom when it comes time for baby furniture), then I'll have a great shelf to put more towels and some bath items.

Just another view of the wall from floor to ceiling.

Our next project is probably to replace the vanity in our spare bathroom, which happens to be the bathroom we use everyday as it is larger than the one attached to our master bedroom.
