Dian Mayasari: Bathroom Remodel Day One

Hello everyone!

When I left you on Friday, we were having terrible weather. But, on Saturday and Sunday, that all changed and we finally had some nice sunshine. Today, we're back to terrible weather. Oh well! At least it was nice during the weekend, right?

By the way, we saw the movie American Sniper (as planned) and I just have to say that I loved it! By saying that, it doesn't mean that I'm "pro war" or anything. It was a movie that showed the human side of war and what it does to our soldiers when they come back home. It will leave you proud of our soldiers and the sacrifice that they make for all of us here.

Ok, moving on..............

We have begun the first steps of remodeling our bathroom. I use the word "remodel" loosely though. We are not moving any walls or anything. My husband brought home the light fixtures I chose.

We bought them from Home Depot and they were SO affordable!

Here is a pic of the old ones we had.

They weren't bad, but I was tired of them and didn't like that I could see the light bulbs so much.

Here is the new one.

See the light yellow paint color? Ugh! Can't wait for that to be gone. We will be painting over it soon!

Tomorrow, we're going to be removing our shower enclosure and painting the brass trim with an oil rubbed bronze color spray paint. (We'll have to do this in our garage due to the weather.) My husband found a tutorial on You Tube that shows how to do this. I will share the procedure with you as well. Keeping fingers crossed that it turns out well. Otherwise, it will cost us over $1000 for a new shower enclosure!

Also, this bookcase in our bathroom is moving out! I have exciting plans for it elsewhere in my house though.
