A little at a time!

My sister's house was left a mess by her ex who started renovating their house and then got lazy. Now, it's up to us to finish it. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Misty's friends who have put in some time helping out as well! In January we (Misty, my mom and I) took on the master closet. As you can see now there are missing baseboards and a lack of a wall unit.
Now this looks like a master closet!

The first week of February my mom and I went again down to Tucson and put on the grubby clothes in anticipation of getting dirty. This picture is a hallway that leads to a laundry room and bedroom. Misty finished the drywall the week before along with taping and mudding and here I am sanding it so we can start painting.
Here I am painting the guest closet which had been textured earlier by Misty.

While I was sanding and painting my mom and sister focused on the spare bathroom. Here my mom is replacing the outlet (the old one was a mustard color, yuck!).
Misty is replacing the light fixture above the vanity.

Here is what the old light fixture and vanity looked like, except at this point we had already removed the mirror from the wall.

Hello Beauty! This is an amazing transformation!!! Gonna look even better when we replace that blue shelf with one that matches the vanity. Already have the shelf just need the fixture to hang it. That will be done the next visit.
Did you all know that we were electricians, painters, plumbers, carpenters, etc.! You can do anything you put your mind into! By the way, Misty laid tile in her entryway the night after we left...by herself! Yes folks, my sister is amazing.
