Whoever thought I could do this was out of their ever-lovin' mind!

Before...
After...




We are fast outgrowing our little "starter home". We have decided to sell, but have no real concrete plans as to where to go or what to do. {Crazy, I know} There are a few areas of my cute little home that are not so...cute. So we are doing some repairs to make it more marketable. Our bathroom {yes, the only one} for instance...Has a {not so} beautiful mint green bathtub. The toilet and sink were also the same color, but were fixed a couple years ago on account the toilet "bucked", but that's another story we won't get into...Anyways, we had to refinish the tub instead of replacing it because the doorway is very small and we weren't going to be able to get a new one through it. It also did not have a shower...WHAT!? No, its not a typo...I have lived here 6 years without a shower. So I was nominated to refinish the tub. Bad idea...Ryder took a bath in it today... {we had to wait 72hrs after it was finished so be thankful if you haven't seen us lately! Phewee.} and told me that we should have had someone else refinish the tub because it doesn't look so good. {kids are so brutally honest!} Nevertheless, if you don't look too close, it appears to be just white...not white with greenish undertones! :) And yes, we also installed a shower...FINALLY. Who in their right mind would buy a house without a shower anyways?!
