Ta-dah!

The bathroom is officially finished! The beginning of the project seems like years ago, not 3 months (see before pics here). We've learned a LOT in that time.

We put in the stained glass and I painted the baseboards this weekend (which i guess you can't see in this picture, looks fantastic though). We are both very happy with how it turned out, although the memories of this nightmare-of-a-project are still fresh in our minds. I would have to say that it was all worth it (glass in my eye and all) and I love it.

One little splurge for the bathroom was a Solatube. It's that circular thing on the ceiling; Steve found out about it at the Green Expo and wanted it. It basically harnesses light and fills the bathroom so we never have to turn on the lights in there during the day. It certainly isn't going to pay for itself by the amount of electricity we are saving (from not turning on the light), but it's still cool. It's nice because the stained glass window is always lit during the day. Below is a pic of it from the outside.















No new big projects are on the horizon for us, although Steve did just make another rain barrel for the other side of the house. Also we have been working on the garden quite a bit and got a composter. I have started moving my stuff over in order to make the big move in September a little less horrible than the last time I moved. I guess that could be considered the next big project. Lots of hobbies = lots of stuff.
