Bathroom makeover

So back in July we bought a trailer. Not our ideal dream home...but we we're young and having just had baby 2 needed a place of our own. So we bought a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom trailer, around 1200sq ft.

And we own it!

So that brings along all repairs, all upgrades, and all problems. First week we HAD to get a new toilet for the master bath...on us. Neither of us had ever installed a toilet before! But with great instruction reading skills and a great pair of hands we got it done!
We also did siding and a new deck in the first month.

Then! We decided to tear out our kitchen cabinets, which consisted of 6 small ones, and the built in desk and a build floor to ceiling pantry and new cabinets over the stove. Then winter came so we have the basics done but no doors, not all of the shelves, and no paint on them.

So then we took a few months off, besides painting a little. And then the main bath toilet stopped flushing! So we decided to redo that while bath. Talk about a kick in the rear! So we laid new floors (peel and sick vinyl), painted, put the new toilet in and decided the countertop didn't "go"with the new and improved bathroom. So we tore the while thing off...

Now I'm in the process of painting piece after piece of wood to install the new mirror frame, the countertop, backslash, and trim work. Most of it is done, now it just beds installed.
Oh and we will be replacing this ugly ruin of the mill light fixture too!

I do have a few before pictures on my actual camera. When everything is done I will be sure to post both.
