::a new loo

We tackled a couple of home projects this weekend and are completely exhausted. I get to show you the first one as I'm completely impatient and am dying for you to see. I found a picture on pinterest (shock) of a bathroom mirror that had been framed. I had thought about doing this already but I'd always thought the same crown molding all the way around looked a little plain (though cute...don't get me wrong). Well, I found this picture and I was sold.

This is how our trips to Lowes went down:

Trip #1 - Convince Aaron I know what I need and after looking around for 20 minutes, realize I have no idea what they used or even what the picture looked like. Me: "Oh well...I just wanted to price compare."

Trip #2 - Convince Aaron I know what I need and buy all the supplies. Get home and realize none of them will work.

Trip #3 - Return all molding from trip #2 with an exact list of what I need this time. Success! We make it home with all the proper molding and building can commence.

The before:

The after:

**As requested - a budget breakdown (though not entirely specific...can't hunt down the receipt): The wood for both mirrors totaled around $90. The light fixture was stolen from the master bath and spray painted which we also already had. We purchased a new light fixture for the master bath that I believe was around $70. We already had trim paint. Total cost ended up being around $160. Not too bad :)

Next up - finding fillers for the jars and switching out the faucet :D

Stay tuned for a much bigger change coming up. We're not quite finished with that project yet!
