Wordful Wednesday is like Wordless Wednesday, only WITH words. It’s for those of us that can’t contain the chatter, but in a good way. More info. in my tabber box titled WW on the right. Thank you for playing along!
Ever since we purchased our home almost 2 years ago, my husband has been busy at work making each room more comfortable, functional, and all around better looking.
The kids bathroom just finished going through it’s second round of “revisions” and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The bathroom is much more beautiful, and it’s definitely more functional. The original pedestal sinks just didn’t work well with 5 children, and the lack of storage was an issue, so changing to a cabinet made a lot of sense.
This is what it looked like before (stark white walls when we first bought the house, dressed up a bit with color on the walls before the latest installment.)
And this is what it looks like now:
The crown moulding and wainscot (my husband can do amazing things with wood and MDF) adds finishing touches to the room and pictured below are some of the elements that pulled everything together. I love, love, love the granite, my husband wrapped the mirror with maple that he stained to match the cabinet, and the faucets add a little bit of a traditional feel to the otherwise clean lines of the cabinet.
Have you done any home improvements lately that I shouldn’t miss?
Don’t forget to hop on over to my co-host Amanda’s place to see what she has to be Wordful about today.
About Angie
Your remodel is BEAUTIFUL.
The only remodeling I’ve done lately is telling Gracie to remove her cardboard box dollhouse from the living room. I don’t think that really counts. 🙂
He did a great job!!
One word — gorgeous!!!
WOW — that is GORGEOUS, Angie. I LURRRRVE it.
It is official: your kids have a nicer bathroom than I do. Feel shame.
Wow, it’s beautiful! The Granite is amazing.

Oh WOW! Can I borrow your husband for the weekend… My bathrooms are perfectly functional, but I didn’t order any upgrades, so they are builder boring! I love the wainscoting. I want to do that in my dining room!

I am insanely jealous that your husband can do that. Mine can’t even change a light bulb. I’m not kidding. It looks gorgeous!
Wow. Your bathroom is beautiful, but also… it has a door to the outside!?!?
Woot, I will cetrlinay put this to good use!

Looks great! My favorite part is the faucets. What a great color scheme, too!

Wow. Big improvement. Love it!
That is so gorgeous!! One word: jealous!!
Wow, looks amazing! My husband isn’t really good at getting this kind of stuff done in a timely manner. You are lucky.
I love it! It is really, really beautiful. I too am not a fan of pedestal sinks. They just seem impractical.
It looks gorgeous! I’m so jealous!
It’s so great that he can do the work himself! That allows your budget to stretch a lot further too! Beautiful!
Oh my goodness! It’s gorgeous, can he come do my bathroom next??
I’m jealous too! Look amazing! Thanks again for hosting!
things i love: the dark wood, the looooong counter, the door, the curtain dealio on the door, the hooks by the pot, the wainscoting, the colors.
fab job!
New follower! Gorgeous remodel.. looks great!
wow, talk about a throne… lol
love it, whenever we get a house, feel free to come remodel for us! 🙂
Whoa! What a transformation!! Just gorgeous girl.
Um wow! That looks amazing. I love the counter. Is that a door that leads directly outside from your bathroom?
How lovely! We’re doing some home improvements around here too. Hubby is painting most of the house in a wheat color very similar to yours. I’m tired of white walls.
Gorgeous!!!
Holy frickness – that’s an amazing transformation. I need someone with that kind of gift living with me.
I think it’s time I found a boy to marry.
But only one who can first prove to me that he could do that.
dang girl – that is NICE!! I now realize I need to update my kids bathroom!! The day of ducks is gone!
Incredible transformation. Wow! I don’t know that I’d ever leave the bathroom…
I am loving it!
We recently redid our kid’s bathrooms also, I wish we could get a double sink in there, it is still on the todo list for that room.
Wow! It looks fantastic!
Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing the amazing photos. I’m feeling inspired already. Thanks!
Very impressed! The bathroom looks great! I would be so nervous to go through a bathroom remodel.
Oh WOW! It looks amazing. Mind if I come over to use it? 😉
WOW. That is gorgeous. Your hubby is amazing. Can I have him when you’re done w/ him? Awesome. Absolutely beautiful.
Love the remodel!! Specially the mirror, hehehe!
Holly canoli the remodel is stunning! I’m a little jealous….ok, REALLY jealous! FYI, sorry I screwed up and put my name in linky and then did a redo 🙁 My coffee hasn’t kicked in yet!
CHEERS!
SO NICE!!! I bet you (and the kids) are loving all of that counter and storage space. Beautiful!!!
OMGOSH that looks fantastic!!!! Great job! No improvements, but I need to do some lol
Thanks for sharing!! Wow I’m in awe lol
Oh and love the jars! I have some old dentist office jars that I LOVE!
it looks amazing, but don’t try and tell me it’s always that clean!!! i love that it opens right to the outside of the house! we redid our bathroom too but you’ve probably already seen it!
That bathroom looks beautiful. So classic.
Your husband is so incredibly handy! The bathroom looks unbelievably gorgeous. So much storage space! Two sinks! The kids must be in heaven.
Sigh …. I ADORE the deep brown of your cabinets, and the beadboard/wainscoating.
I have an idea. In your infinite amounts of spare time, just hop a flight, and plan the complete re-haul of my house. K?
Gorgeous! Lucky you!! 😀
Just beautiful! I wish your hubby could share his knowledge via internet osmosis , lol!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Love it!!!!
Wow, that looks great!
