Rocco’s Modern Home

Hmmm, so if its the only bathroom in the house, it sounds like it should be the master bathroom by default, right? So let’s start from the beginning. The bathroom renovation started at 7am on Labor Day Monday, after I decided to rip down the ugly 80s wallpaper. That’s the beauty of owning a house.. you can do whatever you want!

Fortunately Gus was on board with this extreme bathroom makeover. We headed to Home Depot (cos they awesomely open up early) and bought the supplies.

We took down all the wallpaper, removed all of the shelving, lights, mirrors, etc. Started the fun filled process of priming.

Waited a few hours and started applying the paint. I say we, but Gus, as always, was a rockstar and did most of it. Finally at about 11:30pm, we finished up for the day to let the 2nd coat dry. Unfortunately we did not get the lights and mirror up until Tuesday after work.

At least I got a good look at what Gus will look like if he ever gets grey hair (thanks to sanding the walls) Whats up George Clooney?

Finally the unveiling………

Alright, after a half hour of trying to figure out why the heck WordPress is uploading this pic sideways, I give up. Just turn your head for a couple of seconds to check it out! Or email me how to rotate a pic in WordPress, because the original image isn’t sideways like this one!

Lesson learned: When remodeling your only bathroom, make sure you take a shower before starting the renovation, because we learned that the hardway after working all day long. Thanks Deordarant!
