Master Bath DEMOLITION!

(and a few other things)
P. rebuilt and replaced the crawlspace access door in my closet... no more drafty, cold, gappy sheet of drywall! Yahoo!
And finally... our last BIG project is underway!! Here are a few BEFORE pictures - please excuse the very messy counters. I promise when we have a nice, pretty, new bathroom I will keep it tidier. :)
View as you walk in the door from the bedroom:
Left side view from entry door: (WHY would you put shutters above the tub??)
View from the corner of the tub:
The privy:
View from the bedroom... again WHY shutters??
Shutters... GONE! The first big improvement! :) This will be a solid wall eventually and the vanity will be on this wall instead of the tub. Make sense?
Tub's out!
Inspector Dozer checkin' things out.
Another wall bites the dust! The shower will be extended into this wall space giving us about an extra 12" of shower space!
Shower's gone! Tile's gone!
Vanity's out!
Toilet's gone!
Linoleum (which was under the tile) is up~
New sliding door is installed! This will hugely help with space since we won't have to worry about the swing radius.
That brings you up to speed! We have a beautiful corner jacuzzi tub sitting in the garage right now and the AMAZING vanity is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday!!!!! :)

I know it's been too long since I've blogged, when...

... the last time I uploaded photos from my camera was 3 weeks ago!! Sorry about that folks!

We spent Christmas this year with K&L at their place. I don't know what we'd do without them!
L's momma sent this cute little tree, and she scored quite a few other goodies from her family and friends back home. L & I exchanged stockings this year: t'was much fun!
Sweet Lizzy~
Opening our presents!
K's contribution to my stocking. :)
Mom sent me a cinnamon roll recipe, which I baked for dessert...
...as if we didn't already have enough food!! Can you believe there were only four of us?! Oink, Oink.
Okay, we just might have over-done it with the eats... but isn't that what the Holidays are for? :)
...Mmm... Certain to cause cavities AND clog your arteries. :)
Frostin' the cinnies!
Finished product. It took 5 days to polish off that pan, but we sure did it! :)
After meeting on Sunday we went down to some new friends, J&S and kiddos with K&L to play some games... and eat some more! Isn't it interesting (or maybe sad?) that all of our good memories revolve around food??!
L, S & I decorated gingerbread houses with the kiddos -
- While the boys played a board game called 'Epidemic'. -
All in all, it was a perfect Holiday weekend. Going back to the real world on Monday was a bit difficult, but now we're looking forward to family visits this year (hopefully, hint hint!) and another tropical scuba vacation with K&L mid-year. Happy 2011 to YOU!
