bathroom remodel (image heavy, sorry)

we closed on our house sometime in april 2010. the next day we took a hammer to a wall in our old bathroom.

 

 

discovering, gasp!, a window back there, we decided to rip out the wall, as well as the contractor's shower.

 

and then we tore up three layers of nasty flooring. 

 

but jp did a fantastic job at eventually making the floors look pretty. 

a year later, almost to the day, we have a fully functional, beautiful bathroom. everything but the toilet was replaced. we (actually it was all jp with some help from his brother and his father) did everything ourselves--plumbing, tiling, window installation, pouring the concrete sink, blah blah blah. i think my only contribution was hanging the shelves. and they're slanted. oops. 

voila!:

now someone with actual photography skills come take pretty pictures--i'm not-so-secretly fantasizing that EJA would be up for the task. i'm wanna submit this beauty to apartment therapy!
