Ever since I moved into my condo in 2003 I’ve been less than pleased with the renovations the previous homeowners had made. Ugly wallpaper, a poorly installed vanity and a makeshift tile backsplash were just the start of it. So I finally decided this past January to undertake the project which would involve taking down the wallpaper, replacing the vanity, painting and installing beadboard wainscoting. I would of really liked to replace the tile job around the tub but since this is my only bathroom I didn’t want to be without a shower for too many days in case I ran into problems. The tile is in ok condition but the person who installed them never heard of a level or at least a straightedge because some of the tiles sit lower than the others. But I’ll have to make due.

Little did I know what I was about to uncover when I undertook this project. I’m sure it could of been worse but there was certainly more work than I was hoping to have to do. Here are some of the before pictures…
