\nThe house hunting progress is different for everyone. To help us along we narrowed down what we wanted to a Top 3<\/i> must list. High on the list was two bathrooms, one would have been a deal breaker. We ended up settling with 1 1\/2 bath, which in our book was a-ok. Like the rest of the house the 1\/2 bath was in need of a major face lift and with the full remodel of the <\/span>full bath<\/span><\/a> under our belt we were ready to take on the project. It’s still a work in progress but we’re getting there. It’s amazing what a little paint and some elbow grease will do.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\nFirst things first, the sink came down was given a good wash and new chrome piping went in. We had leaky pipes in the 1\/2 bath from day one. Next up, wallpaper! The wallpaper had to be torn down and the walls had to be washed. Once the walls dried from a good washing they were primed then painted. Like the rest of the house we used <\/span>Kelly Moore<\/span><\/i><\/a> paint.   <\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe medicine cabinet and sink are original to the house – straight from 1959. Since they actually were still in good condition they’ll be sticking around a bit longer. They add character to the house. Everything was painted: ceiling, walls, door and trim. It’s such a small space so to help save on the $$$ flow we used some leftover paint form the living room. Now our 1\/2 bath and living room are Tumble Stone<\/i> from <\/span>Kelly Moore Paints<\/span><\/i><\/a>. To stay consistent with the house the ceiling and trim were both painted Swiss Coffee,<\/i> with the trim & door in semi-gloss and  the ceiling in flat. A replacement light fixture was picked up from <\/i><\/span>Lowe’s<\/span><\/i><\/a> for $29, but we only paid $19 because we had a coupon for $10 off.  The hand towels and towel rack were picked up from <\/span>Target<\/span><\/i><\/a> while the tp storage holder is from <\/span>Ross Dress for Less<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
