Let's start with the loo, shall we?



...but first, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being here, checking in to see if there is a post on my poor neglected little cottage blog, and thank you doubly for all of the comments full of well wishes and outpouring of love and support! It meant the world to me.

So....on to today's post.

I thought I'd introduce you to my new-to-me home, which is a little 1952 cottage that is in desperate need of some lovin' (Perfect for me!) and I thought I'd start with the necessary room.

The loo. The powder room. The bathroom.

The one and only bathroom had a floor that was in pretty rough shape when I got the place, and it had to be addressed before I could move in. (To fix the floor meant removing the toilet, coz, while I could live with a rotted floor, a girl needs a toilet.)

We (one of my amazing son-in-laws)repaired the sub-floor and installed black and white vinyl squares. (on the diagonal!)

And, as long as we were tearing out the floor and the toilet, we might as well replace the gawd-awful vanity, right? As luck would have it, I had a perfect old dresser that has been with me for a long time. I got a sink from Home Depot and the amazing son-in-law worked his magic.

Yeah baby. That's what I'm talkin' about.

I took the old funky shelf-cupboard thing above the toilet, tossed the sliding doors, slapped a coat of black paint on it, and re-hung it.

A black and white framed grand-baby-in-the-tub photograph (taken by Gramma Cupcake) on the freshly painted robin's egg blue walls, (white baseboard and trim as well as new molding on the window to be installed as we find time) and it was was on it's way to becoming a bathroom worthy of hosting my bubble bath.
