Over our 3+ years of home ownership, there is one question that we continually here:

“So…what project are you guys working on!?”

We declared that 2012 would be a year for us – no major projects. Hence, my quiet blog 🙂 But, come 2013 we found ourselves itching to tackle the next big thing in our little home. From 2009-2010, we tackled the entire basement, re-wired the house, knocked out walls to open up our living room and basically gave everything else a face-lift. In 2011, we knocked out our front porch and re-built a proper, covered porch/ mud-room area. Our most major project for 2012? Christian installed potlights in our living room. Exciting? Yes! Large scale overload of a project? No.

After our much deserved, year long break from renovations, our upstairs main bathroom was calling our name. And, as you imagine from the title of this post, it was about time that we re-arranged things.

Do you see what’s wrong with this picture? Notice that the top of the toilet tank actually had to be shifted to allow for the lip of the sink to actually fit.

Here is my personal fave:
Christian and I demonstrating the close quarters: me brushing my teeth, and him….er….on the toilet (he’s not actually going people, this is just a frame of reference for y’all:

His face in this picture kills me….always has to ham it up.

Here’s a picture capturing the narrow entrance into the bathroom. I’m trying to illustrate just how impossible it is for us to be in there at the same time (it totally drives me nuts):

So there you have it: we are kissing this room good-bye, and now you know why!
