And now we're committed

We have two bathrooms – one off of the master bedroom that was beautifully renovated by the previous owners, and one off of the main hallway that serves as a main/guest bath. Here's the view from the tub mere moments before I took a drill and removed the medicine cabinet and above-toilet cabinet.



Now we have a big hole in the wall and an unpainted patch of drywall, respectively.

Our plans are to replace the vanity with something a bit more sleek and modern, replace the mirror with something a bit more proportionate, paint the walls (after repairing a slew of holes, dents and major scrapes), put in a new medicine cabinet (Kevin bought one today that's perfect!!), and get someone to resurface the tub. (We'd been looking to do one of those tub liners, but the more research I did, especially with the Better Business Bureau, the more leery I felt. Since the tub's scratches are all superficial and the tile is in good shape (I just don't like the color) resurfacing looks like a good option, and about a fifth of the price.)

We're planning to leave the floor, toilet and trim alone. Not to jinx things, but right now, it's looking like we'll be able to make the changes we want for just under $2000 – not bad for a bathroom remodel.
