Bathroom remodel

Ok, so I've been taking my time posting about the bathroom remodel.  This remodel started with us "wondering" what was underneath the carpet in the bathroom and quickly turned into a complete demolition project.  We tore out the old stand up shower (we both almost puked when we pulled out a wad of old hair from the drain).  We threw away the old toilet... it didn't seem to like to be used since it "groaned" every single time we flushed it.  We had to take down all of the drywall from around the new bathtub, reroute the drain plumbing, install a bath spout, squeeze a bathtub in, and screw it to the wall.  The most time consuming part of the whole project was the tile.  We had borrowed my dad's tile saw and Matt was busy cutting away while I was busy laying and designing how the tile should go.  We even got brave enough to tile up and around the bathtub for our shower surround.  Instead of installing a new vanity we just stained the existing one a darker color, added a backsplash, new hardware, new faucet, new vanity lights, and a new mirror.  We painted the whole bathroom a pretty green to match our existing shower curtain, and put in a new toilet.  Overall it was a great way to see both mine and Matt's skills and we both learned new things.  (and I found out my husband is a pretty good handyman)

Here are a few of the before and after pictures.  Enjoy!!
