Re: Got a Before & After to share? Let's see 'em!

After several years of planning, we finally got our house painted. Not sure if my wife or our neighbors were happier to have it cleaned up and looking respectable.

Re: Got a Before & After to share? Let's see 'em!

Wow Mike - Bathroom #1 looks great. Would love to see more photos if you have any. And yes - what was the room originally? Interesting! It was a small breakfast nook that was really just a catch all for our junk. The second bathroom is on our second floor so this nook was the only spot to create a ...
