shiny happy bathroom

today we had some wonderful people come and reglaze the tile and tub in our downstairs bathroom. like the kitchen update we did, this was all about improvement at a bare minimum cost. we know that this isn't going to make any potential buyer say, "i want to buy that house because of that bathroom" but we are hoping it will prevent a potential buyer from saying. "i don't want to buy that house because of that bathroom." - some before shots of the lovely marbley patterned tan tile and disgusting tan tub. interestingly, we learned today that our tub has been reglazed in the past (1982, we think, based on markings on the old sink) and that someone CHOSE that tan color that doesn't match the other bazillion shades of tan in the room. (seriously, when we bought this house, the walls were tan, the tile was tan, the border tile was tan, the toilet was tan, the tub was tan, the sink was tan, the towel rack was tan, and the toilet paper holder was tan. and none of them were even remotely the same tan.) -

and after. it takes 24 hours to cure, so there is still some tape up and we can't put any of the accessories (like a toilet!) back in the room yet but you get the idea. the shiny new white on the tile sure makes the floor look gross. that's next! and painting the heat register thing. no more tan!
