Girl's Weekend Remodel!

This weekend Reese headed down to Salt Lake with Mason to go Snowbiking. (We will have pictures of this once we get them from Grandpa Hulbert.) So while the boys were away, my mom, sister-in-law, and sister and her dog came up to help with a bathroom remodel! Reese thought that we were going to do just a bunch of crafts. So this was a TOTAL SURPRISE to Reese! Happy late Valentine's Day!

It was a lot of hard work, a lot of waiting for paint to dry, and also a lot of fun to be with the girls. Of course I took BEFORE pictures for your viewing pleasure. So here they are:

Brown, oak cabinets, white walls, Hollywood lights, and a tri-fold vanity that blocked a lot of light from shining on the counter.

Here you can see all the brown oak and the horrid strip of Hollywood lights.

Ugly Cabinets and check out that tissue paper holder. It has a gold stripe down the middle, which you can't really see.

Boring towel rack.


The remodel starts!
We absolutely stripped down the bathroom. The light, the towel rack, and the cabinets. Even the toilet tank has been taken out. The cabinet doors and drawers are currently downstairs getting 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of black paint by my awesome helping hands.

This is the only picture that was taken with Sara, my sister, in it. Mostly because she was almost always downstairs painting. Thanks Sara that cabinets look great! Here is our mirror. It had some leftover glue on it from whereever it was before. So here is my mom and sister scraping it off. I was too nervous to do this myself because if you scratch it too deep, the silver comes off and you turn your mirror into a piece of glass.

My mom happily doing my job for me. What a sweetheart!

The walls in the bathroom look amazing because they were painted by Lynette.

Here we are holding up the mirror...making sure that it stays. If you glue up a mirror, please learn from our mistake...use Liquid Nails!

Drumroll please....Here is
The Big Reveal!!

So much better! We painted the cupboards black and the walls Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Grey (It is more seagreen than it looks in the pictures). We (and when I say "we" I mean all the girls) glued up the mirror and the molding around the mirror.

It's amazing how much larger the counter seems now that there isn't a vanity hanging over 1/3 of it.

Close-up on the framing around the mirror that we made from rosettes and molding.

Finished cupboards and new toilet paper holder. New cupboard with towel rack.

I am going to have a grand ole time changing the decor in and out on the new cupboard.New light fixture. Ahh, so much better.

Here is a list of details on the items in case you are wondering where I got it all.
Paint: Primer, Black paint, and Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Grey all at Bennett's Paint.
Light fixture, toilet paper holder, and cupboard: Walmart
Molding and Rosettes: Home Depot

Reese was so surprised! I had Sara hide behind the shower curtain and film his reaction. He said "Wow! This is really nice! You guys can have a girls' weekend whenever you want!"
