UPGRADE!

So I am ready to admit it - Eric and I are perfectionists and we just couldn't leave the old vanity after the bathroom overhaul. So we looked around for something that was cheap and attractive that would get the job done. Luckily we found one at Lowes and within a few days the project was underway!

The very before picture of old vanity

There are ALWAYS interesting elements of any job we do in this house. There seem to be little "secrets" hidden everywhere just waiting to be found and this was no exception. Below is a picture of what we found when we removed the old vanity. Guess we have an explanation for why things were smelling a little funny - a half rotten book used to level the old vanity would cause that!


So after a few hours of figuring out the plumbing, caulking the sink in place and installing the new hardware, this is what we ended up with!


Looking back 6 months ago, we would certainly have hired someone to do this job. It's beyond rewarding for us to be able to improve our home and to be able to do it for $100 and an afternoon - UPGRADE!
