I suppose you remember what Alisa’s bedroom looked like before and during the Great Wallpaper Removal? Well here is what it looked like the day she moved in:
She is more unpacked now, but you can see the nice brown color and how the room no longer looks like it houses a little old lady. So that’s progress, you know?
Now for her bathroom! I have this before picture.
In it you can see the wallpaper.
And in these, taken by Randy, you can see the toilet with the cushy seat and the faucet from the past with the weirdest handles any of us have ever seen (possibly they were for someone with arthritis? We’re not sure) and the tab on the faucet itself that allowed you to adjust the level of water coming out. You can see the weird fixtures and the bad lighting. And you can see the ugly ugly flooring.
Randy also took some “during” pictures.
And here are how things are looking now that we have a new tile floor, a new cabinet, a new sink, a new toilet, and new wallpaper-free walls. (The paint color is Benjamin Moore’s Wedgewood Gray. We like Benjamin Moore’s historical colors, in case you haven’t noticed.)
It’s hard to get a good one of the light fixture because there’s not a lot of natural light in that part of the house. Or, you know, any natural light in that part of the house. So I will distract you with this picture of me needing a haircut.
Anyway, there you have it. The new and improved bathroom! Mike and I are so jealous. As always, you can contact Randy if you would like for him to help you out. (No, he doesn’t give me a discount for saying that. But he should, don’t you think? Let’s all gang up on him and tell him so.)

I’m having a hard time breathing because this bathroom looks so good!! I really want to come over and pee.
Looks great!
Wow! You are so talented! Lovin’ these new rooms!
Thanks, guys! My mom helped a lot (went to Lowe’s with us and helped us pick out the cabinet and tiles and also helped pick out the paint color), so I tend to think any of the credit should probably go to her and Mike.
(((I used to have the shower curtain in the before bathroom. I am so embarrassed.)))
The new bathroom looks awesome, Kari. I’d be jealous too.
The bathroom looks great. So do you, frankly. But hey, it’s your hair.
Don’t be embarrassed, Bethany. That’s OUR shower curtain. I think it is perfectly fine, except that it really doesn’t go with that wallpaper. But we kind of thought, hey, we aren’t going to buy a new shower curtain to go with this hideous bathroom. We’ll just wait and buy a new one.
(The one that’s in there right now is Alisa’s. We’ll have to buy one when she leaves.)
it’s so great. i’m so impressed with my husband’s ability. haha. and i’m so glad you brag on him, too, b/c you know he’ll never do that himself!! yay for before and after pics! i mean, i still think we should all come over to use that bathroom just to get the full experience.
Looks awesome, Kari. I love the paint color in the bathroom and will definitely check out that line of paint at Benjamin Moore.
