This is what my bathroom looked like when I moved in:
Yeah. Gross. And you don’t even get to see the wood screen they had on top of that half-wall thing there by the toilet. I had to take it down first thing when I moved in.
This is what my bathroom looked like this morning and for the last four+ years (after partial renovations to make it habitable):
Better…way better. Anything’s got to be better than that ugly goldish-yellow toilet and that awful light fixture and that random wall between the toilet and the vanity and that nasty asbestos tile. But not good yet.
This is what my bathroom looks like now:
Demolition for stage II mostly complete. I’m still taking out that medicine cabinet. Now to tiling the countertop and backsplash with slate, installing the sink and new faucet, putting up a new mirror and medicine cabinet, and repainting the vanity.
Stay tuned to see what it will look in the near future. Near being relative of course as my last post was (cough, cough) three months ago. Maybe in another four years I’ll get to stage III: new tub and surround.

I was so impressed with your remodel and was surprised to read on that you are renovating again! You are ambitious! And energetic! I'm anxious to see the completed project!
Are you doing all of the renovating yourself? I might need to take lessons from you :)
Is that the one that John and Richard were working on until the night before I arrived to meet you? It still looks good!
That looks great! Way to be ambitious. :)
Looking nice. Although the now pictures look a little like you are going backwards. ;) Slate sounds very posh. It will be beautiful.
I, too am impressed that you seem to be doing this by yourself. I'm not quite that ambitious. Can't wait to see the final outcome.
OK, you are forgiven for failing to post anything close to regularly, not that I am in a position to be forgiving you or anyone else on that issue. Looks nice. I only regret that my aging body won't allow me to do much of that kind of stuff anymore. It is looking great! Good for you. Aunt Lynda
You have a blog! Fantastic. I must say how impressed I was with those vintage avocado-yellow fixtures your house had originally--yikes. If only you had a fridge to match...
I think your bathroom is going to look great--I really like the slate look.
