We have almost completely rid the master bathroom of the heinous blue ocean of ugly that it once was.  Oh, how I wish Kodak Gallery hadn’t deleted my “before” pictures.  Excuse me while I go cry in the corner.  Ok-back to the project. 

Our final project in the bathroom was the Jacuzzi tub.  The thing is enormous.  I’m sure our house has a carbon footprint the size of sasquatch because of this thing.  We love it though. What we didn’t love was the tile surrounding this monster.  Here’s a shot of it…

I hate that little blue border.

I started chipping the top of the tile out.  Very carefully.  As we all know we’re on a budget and said budget does not include a new cement board back.  I have to reuse what we have.

One tile at a time.

All clear!

Phase I of the tub redo is complete.  Notice the complementing bead board?  It’s the magical wallpaper that I bought from Home Depot.  I pink puffy heart love that stuff!  Next up-tile, trim and paint.  And a new faucet.
