The bathrooms at Maison de Krusmark were the talk of the town (I'm sure, why wouldn't they be?) in 1983. A couple of years have passed now and we got to thinking - 'you know what would be fun? Updating the bathrooms!'. So we did.
The main floor half bath used to sport some really beautiful sponge paint. I know, how could we have gotten rid of it? These are tough choices in life but what can you do?
We got a new mirror and bathroom fixtures from Lowes (they have great stuff!), repainted (best money I've ever spent), and got new accessories from Target. Couldn't be happier!
Moving on to the upstairs guest bath, one might have felt like they were journeying to the Land Before Time. Never fear! You're still right here in Plymouth - you've just stepped into our bathroom. Who DOESN'T need octagon-shaped sinks?
While we haven't tackled the vanity yet (what, do you think we're made of money?) we did update with a really awesome gray-blue color paint, new fixtures and new mirrors, also from Lowes. We also replaced the broken, metallic blinds with nice white wood blinds.
Last, but certainly not least, we made some updates to our master bathroom. When we first moved in, we thought the toilet in this bathroom was made for Smurfs because it is so low to the ground, and seems as though someone used a parachute to squeeze it in between the tub and shower. We've gotten used to that (if you just hug your knees when you're on it - just kidding) but will likely someday reconfigure the bathroom. In the meantime we painted a pretty olive color, replaced the blinds with white wood blinds, got a new custom mirror, new fixtures and accessories - voila!

Although renovations are expensive, they sure are fun! If you thought we were done - think again! We've only gotten started friends.
I think you should have your own reality show - it would be even better than Bethanny because Chris is ALMOST as funny as you are. Any references to smurfs, octagon sinks and parachutes makes for hilarious blogging!
