It is with great pleasure that I announce that this is the absolute last post on our Master Bathroom Remodel Project! After 3 weeks of experimenting with new products, learning new skills, and having a messy and unusable bathroom, our master bath remodel is finally complete!

| Our Master Bathroom is complete! |
Here's the journey of our bathroom transformation:
- We first mocked up our bathroom in Google SketchUp so that we could start toying around with potential designs for our new bathroom.
- We selected which design we liked the best and the next step was to remove the existing mirror from the wall (without breaking it or creating a massive hole in the wall).
- Using Rustoleum's Cabinet Refinishing kit, we refinished our cabinets to a color called Kona. It was quite a tedious process, but I imagine that it was easier than sanding, and it was a huge transformation to the room.
- We decided to do the electrical next, while we gave our cabinets time to cure for a bit. Jason from Oak Electric came in and wired new lighting, new electrical outlets, and a new switch.
- The second biggest transformation was painting the walls in a black and gray.
- Once the paint dried, we moved on to creating two framed mirrors. This was, by far, the most tedious and most experimental part of the entire process, but we got through it...eventually.
- Finally, we finished up with some minor finishing touches.
Here are all the "Before, SketchUp Design, and Afters" so you can see the complete transformation in different angles.

Our total cost for the project was around $440. (We probably paid somewhere around $350 since we had many of the painting supplies already).
Overall, it was a good experience and we learned a lot along the way — e.g. never build your own mirror frame :).
We have to figure out what our next home renovation project is going to be. When we do, you'll be the first to see the progress! In the meantime, I am going to enjoy my new clean bathroom.
Cheers,
