We finally got rid of our old and somewhat nasty kitchen sink and faucet.  After a little countertop cutting and more than a little swearing, we’re rocking a Kraus faucet (I like big faucets) and Kohler Vault single-bowl sink.  Better, and not too expensive.

Here’s our guest bathroom as it looked when the previous owners still lived in it. Ducks!

And here it is after removing that huge plate glass mirror, replacing that huge eight bulb hollywood/broadway strip light,  stripping three layers of wallpaper, patching and texturing the walls with a grasscloth texture, painting everyting, and installing a soapstone tile counter, vessel sink, single hole faucet, and new accessories.

We did all of the work ourselves and selected fairly cheap, off-the-shelf parts to keep costs down. It’s certainly an improvement over basket weave wallpaper with a duck border and an old laminate counter top.
