The bathroom is inching sooo much closer to the finish line. In a house with tools and dust everywhere, and many not-even-close to finished spaces, this room feels like a little gem. We didn't do things in the right order in this room as we just desperately needed it to be functional, so one of the last tasks was getting it painted.
