Done!
Well, okay, not done. There's a socket acting up on the light bar, and a little spackle that needs sanding and painting, and I need to seal the grout, but...well...OMG this has been 6 month project.
 | It started out just plain ugly. The silver and blue wallpaper really capped it. |
 | Normally I wouldn't fix something just because it's ugly but there's also some leftover damage from a plumbing flood a couple years ago |
 | So I'll fix the damage, but that requires I take down the wallpaper. Well, no tears shed there. Except... |
 | Pulling off the wallpaper pulls off chunks of rotting wall. |
 | And also reveals hidden mold. |
 | The walls are therefore dutifully repaired...but not before the process reveals water damage to the subfloor below the tile. |
 | In despair and distraction, we cover the mess in plastic sheeting and hope that it will repair itself over the following few months. It doesn't. |
 | When we finally accept the reality of the situation, we pull out the tile, which causes the amazingly cheap ass fiberboard vanity to disassemble itself. |
 | So what started out as a little water repair ended up with nearly a full bathroom re-do! |
 | Wow! Why didn't we do this years ago? |

Looks good! It's amazing what is hiding behind walls sometimes.
