I like the idea of two sinks but your right, I mean, how often is it really nessicary? And I don't blame you, yeah, if you can just smooth/sand down the old paper edges and paint over it, that'd be the route I'd take. About 6 or more years ago, my ex and I remodeled my ex mother-in-law's bathroom and that was the worse part; removing 15 year old wall paper. Never. Again. Nothnx haha.
Oh, I am a sucker for vintage stuff too, I like the example of drawer pulls you have there.
That is the nice thing about contact paper, it being the much cheaper option and you can totally change it out easier too if you feel like it. You'll have to keep us updated as you go along.

Well, considering I think they just painted over the wallpaper to begin with, yes, cuz it won't make it even to remove it in just that place. 
So... here it is with the new vanity in! Not painted or anything which, I'm partially doing now. It's about half done?? Then I'll work on the walls cuz I just HAD to do it this way.. I dunno why
I decided on black, so I'll be finishing that up at least hopefully ... and at least mostly tomorrow, so I'll snag a picture.
I'm loving it so far, but we will see! 
Since I have decided on black... I'm keeping the current pulls til I figure out what I like in a chrome color.. black was easy but haven't found exactly what I wanted yet with chrome.. I really like the idea of these, but not with the crystal knob part... with the black knobs I took off the old vanity (they match the ones on the upper cabinets in the above pic.

Then again I may put the current ones back on and be like whatever these are fine. LMAO... I wish..

Yayyy. It looks great. Honestly, with the walls and everything at least in the picture, the blue isn't as noticeable. I think black will look really good too especially with the tub.

Yeah, I noticed when it went in that the top didn't look so blue! The white railing outside and then the white wall we put it against plus the white cabinet really made it look blue. Now with the grey walls, and black cabinet... it looks sooo much better! I'm glad too cuz I wasn't looking forward to putting that paper on it. LMAO
The main part and the drawers are all done. Just have the doors to finish but with being 2 sides they take longer cuz they really have to dry good before flipping to paint the other side >_< LOL
Once I get that all done, I'm going to paint the other white cabinet in there so it matches.
it's rather scuffed up so it needs painting pretty badly anyway. I'll take pictures once I get the doors back on the cabinet. I'm saving the wall for last cuz I am dreading that... like a lot 

Once I get that all done, I'm going to paint the other white cabinet in there so it matches.

How exciting, sounds like you're making a lot of progress!
Once you get all of that done and squared away, were you going to go with the same type of flooring you had before to finish everything off? Or trying something different?

I'm going to save up to put the vinyl planks down in there and in my bedroom so it all matches. So I got about $500 to save up before I do it.
That's if I measured right and I don't need anything else. My uncle is supposed to come and measure for me to be sure. Think with what I measured we'll have a few boxes left (he said he would help me put it down cuz he just did it at his house) because we can't put it under the vanity/bathtub/shower/linen closet so if what I calculated is right, not putting it under the vanity alone is a box.. then you got the tub which is probably close to a box and then the shower/toilet/linen closet... so lol but I'd rather have too much and have a box or 2 to return than not have enough and they don't have it anymore.
Which that would totally be my luck if we didn't have enough. 
I'm presuming it'll be after Christmas or spring before I can save up enough, but that's ok. we got rugs down and I don't really even miss the flooring

Flooring can definitely be expensive. That'll look really nice though, with it all matching. And for sure, you'd rather have a little more than needed than not enough because that would be my luck as well. I'd pick something out and then need more it be discontinued or something like that.

So he brought over this kind he already had. It's nice, but I dunno, the color isn't right for what I want, and it's $55 a box and he said I'd need about 10 boxes. That's just buying the flooring not installing. >_< I found one I like (tho it's only online that I've seen it) at Menard's for like $30 a box so that's a HUGE savings IF I like it. Going next week (fall break from work so i have the week off!) to Menard's to get furnace filters for the winter so figured I'd look while we were there to see what they have and get a better idea of what I want.

Definitely a huge savings there but you know.. Save big money at Menard's lol

LMAO!
So true!
I'm so ready for next week to get here! I have Fall break next week. I have a lot to do, but I think most of it can be done in one day
I hope there is a day that's halfway decent cuz we have to get all the deck things put away for the winter. o.o

They definitely went a smart direction in their jingle haha. Get's stuck in the head.
Niiicee. Well, yeah, hopefully you can get done what you need to in like a day or so and then spend the rest of the time resting or just doing things you enjoy. Where I'm at, looks like they are calling for it to be mostly cloudy next week and on the cooler side but only one day of rain/storms.

Well, ended up (as you can tell by my not posting... lol) that I had a lot to do.... didn't really get much relaxing done.
It's all good tho, I enjoyed most of it. I guess that's what matters anyway.
I did forget to do a few things, but those are small enough I can do them whenever.
Today was back to reality, but at least now I get a break. LMAO
We moved the living room around and cleaned... took us like the entire day cuz we couldn't get it the way we wanted and have everything fit! We finally managed it. Re-Caulked my sink, but didn't manage to get the shower done... lol The sink took me like 20 mins max, and I did a really good job!
Moved my bedroom all around and cleaned. That was a harry situation... lemme tell you. LMAO LITERALLY! All the dog hair behind where my bed was behind this piece of furniture and that one... yeck!
I quite like how it's laid out right now but I foresee going back to the way it was in a few months. 
I hope your week was good!

It's always rewarding to get stuff done. Rest is nice of course but yay for doing the things!
I really need to clean and organize before winter hits and we're all just stuck inside making even more messes but uuggghhhhh the time and energy lol.
I understand the struggle of dog hair all too well. It's a bit ridiculous. Thankfully, the only places that are carpeted in the house are our bedrooms. The dogs don't go in the kids rooms really because they always have their doors shut so things don't get eaten or dragged outside but our bedroom is another story. Mostly though, the hair just collects itself into tumble weeds on the hard wood and tile floors and resides at the edges of the walls in between vacuumings.
A new layout of furniture can definitely be refreshing.
My week was okay. Kiddo had a few bad days in the middle of the week but the weekend went pretty well.

Yeah, the bedrooms are all that's carpeted here.. and I hate it. When I get my new flooring it's going to be those vinyl planks that lock together. I hate carpet. Rugs are better specially the kinds I have you can pick most of them up and wash them in the washer
the only one that you can't do that with is the living room one.... it's waaaay too big to even THINK about that. LOL But the hair was all collected behind my bed.. up against the walls etc. It's terrible 
Yes, a new layout is nice but for my bedroom I have a fave layout that I usually keep most of the time, but I just wanted something different.

Yeah, especially if you have pets, carpet is the worst.
We have hardwood and I love/hate it. It's pretty but scratches easily with the doggos. If we ever redo it we'll probably go with faux wood vinyl planks too just because they are so much more durable.
Haha, I get that. You'd like a little change with the layout but then also... not lol

Yes, and I have 2 monsters that like to when they cough, puke, any bodily function that can STAIN the carpet happens... they run to my bedroom >_< It's like wtf! LOL You have all this other space where it is SOOO much easier to clean up and you have to go in there... really?!?! lol
Yeah we have linoleum and faux hard wood in the living room. We used to have hard wood floors in our old old house and didn't have any trouble with scratches, but you're so right this new stuff is soo much more durable for pets. That's why I want it in my bathroom and bedroom so then we'll be down to just 2 rooms with carpet
Exactly. I like change a little... but I also like things to be just right and the bed in the place it usually is just feels like it was meant to be there.

Pets can be such jerks sometimes. Sir was like that when we first moved into the house we're in now. He would do all the gross things in our bedroom on the carpet. We finally got both him and Lady where if they absolutely can't hold it during the day while we are at work and the doggy door is closed, they'll do their business downstairs on the linoleum tile which is so much easier to clean and no in anyone's way or somewhere where they'll step in it and drag it all throughout the house. However, there are couches down there and I had to throw away a seat cushion because Sir apparently has a vendetta against groundhogs. He's killed 4 so far and the last one he decided to bring inside downstairs, on the couch, and then open it up on the couch to put it mildly. It was so gross. Groundhogs guts everywhere. Bugh.
I think it's their size and weight really that adds the the scratched. When you have a 75 pound dog and 110 pound dog getting zooming in the livingroom lol That's mostly where it's gettin scratched up. And neither one of them really behave when it's time to trim their nails so sometimes they grow a little longer than is ideal.
