We completely redid our “powder room” recently. (What do you call it when it’s more than redecorating but less than remodeling?)
I don’t have before pictures but it was very similar in look to our big bathroom.
We ripped everything out. And by we, I mean Mark, with help from his dad on removing the vinyl.
We repainted. And by we, I mean Mark. He even picked the color and I think it’s quite nice.
We put down new tile. And by we, I mean Mark, with help from his dad on cutting the tiles. I did pick the tile and the pattern.
We put in a new light fixture, mirror, towel bar, toilet paper bar and light switch, some of which we got on clearance at Home Depot and the rest of which was bought to match. And by we, I mean Mark.
We put in a new toilet that takes up less room, uses less water and flushes properly each and every time. And by we, I mean Mark and Joe.
We put in a new vanity and faucet. The vanity also takes up less room and is just much more stylish. And by we, I mean my dad.
Here is what it looks like now.
It was all complete a couple of weeks ago. And then … two days ago we heard some scratching. It took awhile to locate it. It was in the vanity. I threw open the doors, from as far away as possible and ….
nothing
About an hour later, Mark figured out it (a mouse?) was UNDER the vanity. Completely inaccessible.
And by Saturday morning, the had scratching stopped.
And by the evening, the smell began.
Any ideas?
LOVE it! Can you, and by you I mean Mark, come do mine? I didn’t see the paper towel holder?
I think Heather has said that eventually the stench just goes away – ewwww
Love the new bathroom. I was reading about it to my officemate- she had the exact same thing happen. However, she said that maggots, then flies come. She sometimes tends to exaggerate, but I figured I’d pass it along.
Looks fantastic! Mark/Joe/your dad/his dad sure are handy!About your four-legged friend: SICK.
oh man – what are you going to do? Cari
Cari, I think we’re just going to wait it out. The smell is starting to subside a little. I still wouldn’t want to use the room yet but you can walk by it without gagging. And we’ll just pray that it was a fluke and no more little Mickeys find their way in there.Becky, I’m hoping Mark doesn’t see the maggot/fly comment
