Above is a picture from the real estate listing when we bought the house. Oh my goodness!
We know blue and brown is “in” right now, but um…
When we took up the carpet (the lovely tan one) we found whatever this stuff is. Joy.
Half of the walls in this bathroom were painted blue and the other half sported the 70’s brown-tone butterfly pattern. Unfortunately, no one primed the walls before putting up this paper. It took FOREVER to get it down. At least it was only 2 walls.
Here it is with some of the wall paper down.
Now this light is interesting.
For one thing it wasn’t centered over the humongous sink vanity; it was in the middle of the wall.
Dad ripped up all the “flooring” and that is the basement you see below. Ew.
This cute door knob (and the door) are the only things that stayed in this bathroom.
OH finally! We could finally have guests come over.
Thankfully, Dad remodeled the guest bath right after we moved in.
Dad put up bead board on the walls with nice new chair rail and baseboards.
After a long search for black tile, we found some really nice ones online.
Notice Mom’s idea: she framed an old paint by number flamingo print from the 1950’s which we bought at a yard sale for 10 cents.
Ooo La La!
