Well, WG and I finished Step-mom's downstairs bathroom today, finally! :-)
New paint, new toilet, new light fixture, shelves over the toilet, new vinyl flooring. There are four corner shelves by the light switch(you can't see). A new door knob completes it.
One of the best things is the mirror on the right. After we took off the mirror strips on the wall, Step-mom's thought she might want them put back up, despite them being kinda shabby. WG happened to notice a mirror on the wall of the Toy room, behind a shelf. We brought it home and took some old picture frame wood that our son had salvaged years ago(there was just enough!) I made the frame and WG painted it green with silver highlights.
Since the sink and tub are still avocado, the mirror frame looks very good. The only thing left to put back up is the bear toilet paper holder. I was able to fix it, but lost the roller in it. When I find it, or buy a new one, I'll install it.
Particular attention should be paid to the little toilet on the shelf. I found that in the dining
room. It is an Arcade cast iron toilet, probably for a doll house.An actual collectible, I looked it up! We all think that it should stay on one of the shelves as a decoration because it is a similar green and it is a little beaten up.
And to think we only wanted to put down new flooring and a new toilet. But gosh, it looks good

Great job, Didi! It looks nice!
Do you have "before" and "during" pictures you can post beside this "after" picture?
Also, I'd like to see close up pics of the bear toilet paper holder and the little toilet on the shelf. :-)
Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you finally finish a project? Did you go back the next day to admire it?
yes Lee, it is great to see the finished results. I'll go back in a week or so and admire it.
