I'm still betting Brenda and Sigs haven't watched this video.
I'll bet Second has though. And I'll bet he laughed even though he really, really didn't want to.

I know I have some real good pictures of how bad the bathroom was (in HD!) somewhere. I know I also have full shots of the toilet and medicine cabinets as well as everything I salvaged and used in the remodel even before I'd sanded any of it down somewhere too.
If I ever do find them, I'll have to show comparison pics. Of the stuff I just took or did manage to find and put in the history here, this is what all of that all looked like this in the middle of May...

One more from before the outage to see the difference from that last pic in the post above...
And here's what we look like from down low up to the bottom of the medicine cabinet. You can see the second switch off to the right side of the bottom of the cabinet for the vanity light, and the dark trim fleshing it out to the wall on the side (although not too much at this angle and you can see it better in pics above from earlier today).
Plenty of room above the basin for a tall boy oil rubbed bronze faucet if I want one, and I could still install some things on the wall like toothbrush holders and such if I want to.
GFCI up on the wall to the right there, protecting everything in that room. Did the shimming I needed with some nuts to get those plates to sit solidly exactly where they needed to.
And the post-contact paper, post Dollar Tree acquisition reimagining of the 3 Seashells.

They do that here. Doesn't matter if they aren't suppose to. They do it. They started at around 7:30 pm, my time. No fun.
Aren't supposed to?
Is there some kind of cooking restriction in your building?

Well, not really. But being respectful would be nice.

Thanks, Brenda.
I've hung a total of 5 paintings in rooms that I've finished and I regret 3 of them. I put that plastic privacy film on all the windows because I don't even want to damage the walls to put drapes or the windows to put shades in.
I'm sure somebody will do all of that one day, and they'll have a really nice canvas to work from.
I don't do too much decorating beyond the work itself. I think people will be amazed when they see the glasses and the rocks and shells up there.

That's a fine- looking bathroom, SIX!
I really like your color scheme. Very calming. And painting that insert the same color as the cabinet was an inspired idea.
But what's with the seashells??

Thank you, thank you. I'm rather pleased with it.
I think I just may have to deep clean that gross tub that has never made it into a picture, very much on purpose.
Yeah... 4 colors to choose from on that trim after Brenda added poly/wood grain into the mix, but I do believe that was the right choice.
Unfortunately, I will have to do just an additional bit of repair and touchups over there. I keep forgetting that they did old school lathboard and plaster on these walls, which means that every single inner and outer corner of the original walls of this house has a BEEFY 1.25" steel corner piece that puts the modern aluminum corner beads to shame. And I shot a brad nail right into it.
Nothing I won't be able to hide that I did completely, but it's clear what I've done so far hasn't done the trick yet.

Oh... I left the video link for a scene from the movie Demolition Man.
Sylvester Stallone has just recently been thawed out in the future after being a renegade cop who made a very bad call and his punishment was to be imprisoned in cryosleep in the late 90s.
When he wakes up, the entire world is Woke times a Million, and their pop music is commercial jingles. When he tries to go #2, he has to come out and embarassingly ask them for toilet paper, because all he saw in the room were 3 seashells. And Rob Schenieder, one of the perpetual desk-jockey cops in a world that never has any crime (that isn't hidden), starts making fun of Stallone for not knowing how to use the 3 seashells until he makes it clear that Rob's about to get a pounding if he doesn't shut his yap.
I figured you and Brenda wouldn't have any clue about it, but I know my brothers will, and I'm pretty sure my dad and my friends will too.

I am sure people will be amazed. And as the saying goes "less is better".
