Extreme Bathroom Makeover-the OMG edition!!

We got the bathroom done!!!!

Drum roll please....buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.....

If you'll recall the bathroom looked like this before:

One more of the after, just for good measure :)

Inspiration for this bathroom
Inspiration and execution of the DIY shower curtain
Seahorse Art

List of Crap I did:
1. Primed and painted all the old trim and the back of the door.
2.  Decided midway through painting the trim to scrape the popcorn ceiling off.  (apparently, this is extremely dirty and dusty, but I'm glad I did it before I worked so hard to paint it!!  I did this without a mask.  Not cool, Kari, not cool!!  I had dust boogers and could smell drywall dust for 3 days!
3. Painted the ceiling
3 1/2 .  (Forgot I did this) puttied all the old holes and sanded them flat to the wall
4. Painted the walls white
5. Eagerly tediously measured and taped off the stripes
6.  Impatiently waited to pull of all the tape it took me 2 hours to do :)
7.  Ripped the tape off and admired my work!!
8. Installed (Okay, Mr. TSL did it and I handed him tools) installed a new curved shower curtain rod-   decided almost immediately that it wasn't going to work in this bathroom like it did in our old house, but didn't say anything because Mr. TSL worked very hard to hang it!

9. Tile the floor (already have the tile from a project that didn't get completed at our old house) Woohoo, no new costs!
10.  Install the new bathroom vanity I scored at Home Depot...was $450, got it for $150!  I had admired it for a while and heard they were having a paint sale (half price Ralph Lauren paint)  and they were getting in new vanities and this was marked down!
11. painted and hung the new mirror-scored on Craigslist for $20
12.  Install the towel hooks Mr. TSL is made for the girls
13.  Install the new light and exhaust fan w/light this may be done at a later date, but I am putting the DONE STAMP on this project!!  (Hayley told me when we moved in she didn't like showering in their because it was too dark and scary!)
14. Accessorize.... made the seahorse and used other beach stuff already owned from our old bathroom!


Total Cost BREAKDOWN:
toilet, grout, faucet, thinset, caulking, shims, vanity light and random other things $209.27
vanity- $150
mirror-$20
towel hooks- $6 ($2 each....bought 3 for those of you doing the math on your fingers!)
shower curtain-$3  (made from twin size bed sheet from Wal-Mart
                                actually used as table cloth at the anniversary party)
shower rod-$5 from craigslist
Tile-had it from an old project Mr. TSL thinks we only paid like 50 cents per tile.

$393.27    :)  Beat that sucka....sorry I'm a little competitive!!

Checklist Wednesday

 Go check out my GIVEAWAY!!!

I am now dedicating my Wednesdays to the giant checklist of crap I want to do!
I feel like this will help with my decorating ADD or it might just depress me, we'll see :)

Please note that this is the overall list I would like to get done while living here for many many years---this is a marathon not a race!!

After talking with my super cool aunt, she advised me to work on one room at a time. She said I would get less discouraged about things not getting done because you can see the progress more easily.  Makes sense :)

Plus, each week I make a list on paper and promptly use it or put the grocery list on the back ---so I am saving the planet by putting it on my blog!
