Tigger's New Bathroom!

OK, so it's really the master bathroom, but since we'll be giving Tigger baths in our bathroom, I'm going to call this part of the Tigger home improvements.

As we've mentioned before, we've been doing some home improvements not just for Tigger, but because we finally sold our house in Texas and can do a little work in our new home. Our master bathroom is one room I wasn't thrilled with when we bought the house. The entire bathroom is white and the fixtures just weren't to our liking. So Papa Tigger rolled up his sleeves and made the following improvements:
  • New tile
  • Paint
  • New sink
  • New medicine cabinet
  • New faucet
  • New hardware
We also bought a new shower curtain and rug. Here are some of the 'before' pictures:

My least favorite part, the white tile:


Demo begins:



After demo is complete, the new bathroom begins to take shape; Papa Tigger laying tile:



The new sink and faucet going in:



Tada! The new bathroom:

The bathroom is now a light green ('Eucalyptus' according to Restoration Hardware). The rug is so soft and isn't the tile lovely? It's a gray blend:


The lovely new towel rack:


Note the new handles on the vanity. That was the one contribution I was able to make:

The new medicine cabinet is recessed, so it works much better in our small bathroom:


Pretty new faucet and sink; the sink is a pebbled-gray color:


Even a new towel bar on the other side (the old one was narrow and low):

Didn't Papa Tigger do a great job?
