My LABOR Day Plans

If you caught up on my not so subtle hint in the title, my Labor Day will be full of labor! I've already shared a how-to on one of my giant money saving projects and as things are beginning to wrap up, it's time to share the next:

Yep, the awful/ cramped/ dirty/ dated master bathroom! *Fingers crossed* this will end up costing me thousands less than the average gut reno, but end with equally beautiful results! I'm not going to be able to DIY a big portion of the project (I'm definitely not a plumber!), but I've come up with ways to save hundreds on my end of the project. As always, I've tried to stretch my dollar as far as I could and I found some great tips for hiring out the project for less.

Why, you ask, would I spend a three day weekend dripping with sweat and exhausted? Well, let's see if these pictures will make the answer any clearer... The view from outside the door. Not exactly inviting!

Painted texture is not as easy to remove as popcorn... I'm not looking forward to this one!

The mirror, the lights, and the cabinet... yeesh!
Hey, it's the boyfriend! I thought he would be the perfect model for the crazy short shower head height :).

If you're anti popcorn and want that second post explaining how to prep/ paint the drywall ceilings, come back Monday! Also coming up: I'll explain more about my bathroom remodel, layout the numbers on my renovation savings so far, give a few random thrifty tips, and introduce myself (with a picture!)

Anyone else taking the "labor" in Labor Day literally? Planning a fun, thrifty getaway? Going to a Hawaiian resort (do tell- I'd love to live through you!)?
