We bought a house!!

Dear blogging friends, sorry for the neglect...we've been awful busy with buying a house, finishing the basement and remodeling the master bath! It's been such an adventure for us, but I think we're almost settled in. In the next little while I'll get a slide show up, but until then...

We were planning on postponing the finishing of the basement until later. when we bought the house it was already 1/2 finished. we had a plumber look at it, and discovered this unique way of doing the piping for the tub...he said if we would have used the tub it would have flooded our whole basement!! we got a new tub and had it installed without the use of duct tape (plus painted, tiled, etc) but now we have a 'Guest Suite' if any of you want to come visit us!

Our master bath, before-- the dark man-cave as we called it. the Shower doorway was only 16 inches wide.

the shower was kind of a rocket, completely enclosed by walls and made the whole bathroom feel the size of a closet (it's not that big anyway)

Step one: remove rocket shower

Step two: paint white

Step three: custom cultured marble complete with leg-shaving shelf

This is cute Maya; I couldn't resist posting this pic!
