For those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile, you may ( or may not) know, that we are buying a house from my parents. The house was a 6 apartment complex for over 20 years. Before that, it was an executive rancher home. My dad bought the house 35 years ago, built  a peice on, and converted the whole thing into 6 apartments. We ( meaning me as a child, my sisters and parents) never lived here, we always had our own house elsewhere.

Last year when my parents moved back to  ("HOME") PEI  from Yellowknife, NWT, they decided to build a house, and sell the apartments. They offered the apartment complex to us for a very VERY great price, and the deal was that we ( meaning my husband & I , and our kids, my mom & dad and only sister living home Chandler) would all live in the apartment complex ( hubs, me and 3 girlies in the 2 bedroom top floor apartment) and my parnets and sister on the main floor which they converted back into one ( was 3) living quatrter, until their house was finished being built. The 2 basement apartments contiue to be rented by previous tenants.

Are ya lost yet? LOL

So this is where we are all still....Mom & Dad's house is almost half way finished!

I CAN NOT WAIT to move into our house ( meaning down to the main floor), and take over this entire building! We already have a family that wants to move into the 2 bedroom top floor apartment as soon as we move out!

We also plan on doing an entire makeover to the outside of the house, new siding, windows ,doors re-shingling the roof, new landscaping, new patios,etc.

To keep my sanity, I have been on HGTV's Rate my Space and some of the home tours that people like Kelly from Kelly's Corner has done, searching for decorating ideas, and dreaming of what I am going to do to "my" house.

So here is the "before" pics of the master bathroom

( DISCLAIMER: THE PICTURES YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE ARE VERY DISTURBING, UGLY AND IT MAY HURT YOUR EYES! LOL)

(SEE I TOLD YA!)

Ok, here is one of the pics that I have found that is similar (in layout only) to the masterbath room.

We are not planning on replacing the existing vanity ( just counter top and sink), and I really like the one in this picture that is painted black....., also I like the 2 wall sconces and placement next to the window, and the picture above the toilet.

I love everything about this bathroom! Really love the curtains, and the crown molding.

We want to put laminet in our masterbath, I know, I know, its not really meant for bathrooms, but my aunt has it in her bathroom and in her kitchen and she hasn't had any problems with it. amd it looks so nice!

And speaking of my Aunt ( Barb), she has a beautiful house, that when they bought it was nothing the way it looks today. I will go and take some pics of her house and post them on here, I love her style, and my style resembles hers( just hers is way better).
