What did I do 2 days before Thanksgiving when I came home to find my guest bath ripped out? I freaked out, of course. We were having Thanksgiving dinner at our house for about 25 guests and my bathroom was ripped apart!
My dearest husband thought this would be a great surprise and a great time to do a renovation. We had talked about doing it over the holidays and I did have all of the materials (well, most), but I assumed we were on the same page of doing it after the big day. Wrong!
1 day before partyWell, it all worked out after a few dozen trips to Lowe's and Home Depot (even begging them to let us in at closing the night before t-day to just get "one little thing") to get things that he just happened to need even after I thought he had everything. There are a few detail things that still have to be done, but it was up and running for the big day and it looked great! Now, after the fact, after my blood pressure has returned to normal, after a major "freak out" session, I am soooo happy with the outcome.
I am also so thankful that my dear hubby worked such long hours (past midnight) even after working all day. And, I'm so thankful that my neighbors didn't call the cops when he was using the tile saw at 8 am on Thanksgiving morning! All in all, I have much to be thankful for...
Here's the results:

Hey deco diva! Dig your fishes - you must have some kind of hubby - amazing that he finishes a project so quickly - my contractor takes at least a yr, or more!
I failed to mention that I had the sinks and tile for almost a year in anticipation.....
Yeah, talk about pressure. that must been very difficult to do at such a short time. It looks great, was not sure about the fish, but they have grown on me....I m actually thinking about renovating my bathroom and I am scouring the internet for ideas, this is what have come up with so far- what do you think? http://www.stivesbathroomrenovations.com.au/gallery.php

Hi DecoDiva
Well done! with full marks to your Hubby.I'm a Tiler by trade and always looking for alternative ideas that have actually worked. Could you tell me and others where you bought the 'Fish Bowls' from. I have helped make an actual vanity top that doubled as a fish bowl. If I ever catch up with him again I will post the pictures somewhere.
Thanks again
Thanks! I actually got them on ebay! They have some really unique ones that are very inexpensive. Here's a link to a few talavera sinks.
My neighbor on the top floor has started renovating their bathroom ans the water now sips into our flat. what is the ideal solution.
this is amazing. you said one day? he's good. make sure you keep it in great shape, i saw an eco friendly bathroom cleaner>
Is that picture frame I see in your photo a hidden medicine cabinet? If so, is it The Concealed Cabinet by iinnovators (www.ConcealedCabinet.com)? I plan to buy one from them and wondered if you would share your thoughts on them.
