Saturday's Project...

We have been wanting to change the light fixtures in our bathroom ever since we bought the place. Robert and I both prefer silver versus gold. The sinks and towel holders are silver with gold. The shower casing is gold. The light fixtures are gold. On Saturday we went to Costco to buy a vacuum (which we did pick up), and came back with new light fixtures for the bathroom (they were an incredible deal)!

We got right to work. Robert pulled off the old fixtures. We had wondered if there would be wallpaper underneath. We found out quickly- we had more work to do! Lucky for us the last homeowners left some wallpaper for the bathroom.


Rob went to The Home Depot to pick up wallpaper paste (after reading online how to wallpaper). When he came back he had me bring the scissors into the bathroom to cut the wallpaper (I had been wrapping presents). We pieced the pattern together and pasted it up on the wall. It looks pretty good (you can only tell it has been pieced if you are looking for it).

The light fixtures look great. Robert worked hard and it paid off. We love the updated look.

Now if we could just get the shower up to date...

Very impressive. How does Robert know these things? Could he teach Bryce?
