"The Brown Stage"

This is what my mother-in-law might call "the brown stage" of our renovation. Things look much worse now than when we started. We are prepping the walls for paint and preparing to replace some of the fixtures. Apparently, in addition to the all blue color scheme, it was once all red. I have to admit that I like the blue better.

One of our biggest challenges has been removing the bathroom mirror, which was glued to the wall. After sawing through the glue on the back of the mirror with piano wire, we were eventually able to pry it off. It will soon be ready for our new oversized medicine cabinet.

Another challenge has been the toilet, which we have to replace before moving day. I'll spare you posting the pictures inside the tank.




Hey look, it's a surprise hole behind the hotel-style sconce we removed--seems to be a telephone outlet! So the decision has been made for us, a piece of artwork will now go on this wall.
