Bathroom Make Over

In January we began redoing our bathrooms. The original plan was to just lay tile in the bathrooms. Once Don got the tile in the master bath he said to me, "The tile looks great, but the cabinets look so bad. I think we should refinish them." I thought, "Hallelujah!" I've been wanting to do that for some time. So after talking to a couple of the "wrong" people who told us how to do them the hard way; we finally talked to someone who told us the easiest way to do it. So we bought the stripper (paint and varnish stripper, that is), sandpaper, and then the 2-in-one stain and varnish. And since we redid the floors and cabinets, we also decided to throw in a new coat of paint for each bathroom. It took us 5 months to do both bathrooms from start to finish, but it was so worth it! I LOVE their new looks! Unfortunately, I didn't think to take any before pictures, but trust me they were REALLY bad. Check out the new looks:

This is the master bath.
I feel like I am in a hotel bathroom or something when I come in here.

We are a bit amazed at how new the cabinets look.

The tile is the same in both rooms.

We are very pleased with ourselves and the way the bathrooms turned out. Don was joking about how our bathrooms don't match the rest of the house now. We do have plans for the rest of the house and hope that soon we can start working on the kitchen cabinets. Eventually we hope to have everything looking new again. Of course that all depends on money (drat!).
