Downstairs Bathroom is Complete!

Shane worked most of the summer on converting the downstairs laundry room into our second bathroom. And what a transformation it was! He did it all himself, with a little help from his dad. The original house was only built with one bathroom, but my dad and Uncle Dick created a tiny little bathroom the last few years Grandma and Grandpa lived here so they wouldn't have to walk up the stairs quite as much. It was only as wide as a toilet and had a little sink. We basically just made it a lot bigger, changed the layout, and added a shower. Sounds easy right?

Finished!

Shane made the cross, the towel holder, and the name sign above the wire baskets! He is quite creative!

This name plate, which was my grandpa, was on the old mailbox. Shane surprised me with it, how very special to have it hanging in our house.

Enlarged photos of the boys mounted on hardwood. Also Shane's idea!

This is a nameplate that was on the house of Shane's godparents in Williamsfield. How lucky am I to have married such a handy man. This bathroom surpassed all my expectations and it is one of my favorite rooms in the whole house. I love it!
