Our Fixer Upper (Master Bath and Closet)

The fixer upper is coming along...slowly but surely!   This month was mostly about the master bathroom and closet, but we did accomplish a few other things too.   The front door got painted "forest gray."   I can't decide if I like it or not because it looks a lot like a color I saw a lot when Mike was in the Army...but it is fresher than it was...so for now, I like it!  We added a decal to our new mailbox that my parents bought us for a house warming gift.  The fence was finished and we are really enjoying our back yard privacy.   Mike trimmed out the opening from the living room into the dining room and the new shed is in place and now houses a lot of the stuff that we were storing in our basement, attic, and shed in the other house.   Mike has his work area downstairs organized as well.

bath and closet area.)  

They also had to cut a new door from the master into the new
closet/bathroom.  At first we planned to have two doors.
We changed plans and Mike had to drywall one of them in.

Mike and Enrique installed all new plumbing and the new
jacuzzi tub and toilet.  

and also installed new vanities with some temporary sinks.  (after
 putting in those new beautiful floors)
