It's Orange. On Purpose.

Well, I can finally post a before/after picture of a room that is now 100% complete. It just so happens it is the smallest room in the entire house. We have high hopes to have the finishing touches on the kitchen and family room done this week. What a triumph that will be!

Before
(If I correctly recall, it was Aspen who loved this wallpaper and begged us to keep it.)

What we (mostly Randal) did: moved a wall to make the kitchen larger, moved the doorway to allow a sink other than a pedestal, tore down wallpaper (me. (and it stunk. (big time.))), moved the boiler pipe away from the toilet because...well, eewh...tile, new windowsill, paint, yada, yada, yada.

Oh, and two different toilets. I just couldn't make up my mind--tall and comfy or space-saving. Such a big decision. Randal refused to bring home a third.

After


Some details thanks to Etsy.


And since we're doing things how we would like them, a hand towel at grown-up level and one at kid level. Is that weird?

Okay, I wasn't entirely honest. It's not 100% complete. There is no caulk around the base of the toilet. At the moment we're all trying to pee very, very carefully.
