Downstairs Bathroom Update

I'm not sure if words can express how icky this downstairs powder room is.  Oh, it's perfectly functional, with a good flusher and a serviceable sink, but the walls are dingy yellow from 35 years of cigarette smoke (yep, in the loo!!) and there are cobwebby bits stuck to the old paint and the vanity is some sort of obsolete pressboard wood that's swollen and musty in places so the drawers sick and the insides are stinky and the floor is left-over tile muck stuck on groovy linoleum.  The view out the window is the only thing good about this room.  So, I enlisted the help of my good friend and second-born son and we got busy.

Here it is, the "BEFORE" pic.

First, we asked P to show us how to pull up that awful floor, and before we knew it, he had most of it done.  We pulled out the staples in the subfloor by hand.

Here we are, painting up a storm.  It's a warm beige colour, the paint that was leftover from the first try in the upstairs bathroom. It looks heaps better here.

Finito! 

It looks fresh and clean and smells much better. It'll do until we can gut and reno it properly. Now I have to convince the kids to help me move the bookcase back in!  I think they're on a break with a Wii remote in hand ... :-)
