Bathroom Saga- Day One

So today we finally decided to update our guest bathroom. My father-in-law has told us he will help during the MLK weekend if we prep the bathroom first. The first step to bathroom prep - removing the wallpaper.

I didn't know how hard this would be, but I'm finding it to be a good workout. I'm currently trying to do this without using chemicals, so it's just a wallpaper scrapper and water. It's slow going, but I have two weeks to do this, and Josh is averaging 1-2 naps per day, so I should be done by MLK weekend. We also have to rip out the old flooring and vanity, remove the toilet, and prime the walls.

We're not doing a total redo. We are laying down tile flooring, putting in a pedestal sink and new cabinets to make up for the removal of countertop space, and painting the walls. I'm hoping that this will give us a few more years of dealing with the pink tile that is in the bathroom.

In other news... Josh is doing well. He's my little string bean, tall and skinny. He's not walking yet, but he's beginning to try to stand on his own. He's done it for a few seconds hear and there, but nothing for a long period of time. He's discovering how loud his voice can be, and using it often, and also discovering the wonderful world of temper tantrums. I can see the fun beginning!

I'll update as often as I can... I just thought it would be fun to journal the bathroom saga.
