What a lovely change. So much warmer.

Also lovely! The grey walls make the white tile really pop. Before they got kinda lost. We got rid of our round lightbulbs and plastic knob faucet too, must have been "in" at the time.

We had a similar set up with just those round lights in the bathroom. We switched out the fan for a fan/light and it is amazing! I can see in the shower! We wired it all on one switch, which I think might work well if that's a kids bath. That way, if they want to see in the tub they will by default vent the steam :-). Ours is a timer switch, so you can't really forget anything.

williamsem, yes that was the downside of replacing those rounds lights - they were BRIGHT and now I feel like it's a tad dark in there. The pics make it look even worse because I have zero photog skills! Anyway, I like the idea of a fan/light combo on a timer or at least all wired together...you bring up a good point about forgetful children. :-)

Great job! You've made a big improvement.

BTW - By your "madtown" screen name I'm guessing we have connections to the same city. :) Sadly, I moved away almost 2 years ago. Still miss it.

Very nice update!

Thanks all!

wifisker - I'm sure you're correct about the city :) You'll have to come back for a visit sometime, the city is always changing and it's fun to see. Plus, you know, CHEESE. Lol

I didn't catch the Mad-town reference until it was brought up, but my hubby is heading there in November for three days and I was debating on coming along. Would there be anything fun for me to do there while he's busy working?

justgotabme - YES! It will probably be a bit chilly, but no snow. The downtown area is great and very walkable. We have a very nice, new modern art museum and public library, as well as lots of shops and dining. Try to stay downtown if you can! I would suggest this as a source for things to do and see: http://www.thedailypage.com/

Thank you madtown. I can handle chilly being I was born and raised in the Midwest. And snow....? While it's lovely to look at and I do know how to drive in it, I'm glad there won't be any.
Hubby will be at Epic in Verona, so I'm not sure where he plans on staying. I have an old friend that lives not far north of Madison, that I'd like to meet up with too.
It sounds like staying in the downtown area would be great, but we'll have to see what works out best so I can drop him off and have the car for the day. Thanks so much for the information. I'd love checking out the art museum.

Ah yes, Epic. Hmmm you might stay out there, then, but either way it's a short, easy drive into Madison. If you're interested in museums then I would suggest both the Chazen (has a brand new addition) and the MMoCA. Have fun!

Your old mirror and cabinets looks just like ours. Could you share your process with painting the cabinets? Did you sand, paint over existing, or have to strip them first? They look great!

Thank you madtown. I'm hoping I can go. I need a break. I do love museums. I haven't been to one in ages though so I know I'd enjoy myself. Thanks so much for your help.

Natesgram - The cabinets were already painted white and I just sanded them, did not strip. I used Benjamin Moore Advance paint. I think I did two or three coats. No primer. So far they are holding up fine, but it's only been a couple months. I am anticipating some kind of wear and tear where my son pushed his step stool up to the sink!

Justgota - no problem at all :)
