Last year we decided we would not take a vacation in 2020.  (Thank you, LORD, for leading us that way!)  We knew we needed to invest in the house a little and update some areas.  We’ve already put in new lights and I’ve painted or stained a number of rooms and fixtures. 

The old, ugly shower was way out of our league however, and we hired Cunningham Remodeling to fix that.  He was able to come and assess during lockdown, but he couldn’t do any work until the governor allowed it. 

This is the old room.

I pretty much shopped every chance I had during lockdown.   It’s funny how busy Lowes was throughout April and May.  It was always crowded and it was nice to see people out and about.

My friend Diane fielded a nice handful of questions along the way.

And then finally Tom and Judah were able to come and do the bathroom.

They started on June 29th and finished on July 7th, pausing for a three day weekend.

They set up this plastic buffer to hold some of the dust out of the bedroom.  We had to zip ourselves into and out of the bedroom.  It was like we were glamping.

Tab spray painted our light fixture.

After they finished with the shower and the floor, it was John’s turn. 

We’d had to wait MONTHS for our sink top/vanity to arrive.  I ordered it in May and it kept getting backordered, for, you know, virus reasons.  The plant in Indiana that makes them was closed.

When they finally arrived John was able to finish our side of the bathroom.

We wanted to do a ship lap look like we’d done in the laundry room a few years ago.

And then we made some shelves and I had to go to Greece Lowes for the last large round mirror (in my price range) in the region.

And I LOVE IT!
