bathroom renovation: days 2 to 4

Day 2 of our bathroom renovation (Saturday) began by shopping for the flooring and the paint. Because we weren't sure if our bathroom had previously been painted with acrylic or oil paint, the paint store people recommended a fancy, somewhat toxic, primer. Then they looked at my giant belly and told Aaron that he would be tackling this project by himself. Which he did. By the end of Day 2, the bathroom walls and vanity had been primed, and 100lbs of flooring had been carried upstairs.

On Day 3 (Sunday), Aaron called in reinforcements - his mom came over to help with the painting.

On Day 4 (Monday), Aaron carried 100lbs of flooring back downstairs because I changed my mind about the colour we'd selected (oops). Once the walls were painted I realized that the first floor colour I had selected was much too dark for the space. So we went back to the store and rented a few sample tiles (Why didn't we do this the first time? I don't know). Confident in the new colour choice we exchanged the too-dark tiles for a lighter shade. And then we were done. Exhausted. Aaron from all the work he did over the weekend, and me from growing a human.

So to recap - at the end of the 4-day weekend the bathroom had been dismantled, and the walls and vanity had been primed and painted. The sink has been re-installed (minus the counter) in order to restore water service to the upstairs bathroom.

As for the toilet . . .

Yep, that's Aaron's side of the master bedroom closet. Hopefully it will go back into its rightful place this weekend.
