House Renovations (already)

We knew when we moved in we would be redoing the downstairs bath, but I never thought it would be within the first week of living there!  When my husband gets something in his head, there is no talking him out of it. 

Needless to say the downstairs bath was gross so while I was at work this Saturday Dane ripped out the vanity, tile floor, and toilet.  I put on the mask and was scraping the 17 layers of paint off the door frame (the previous owners just put paint on top of paint and it was just peeling off).  After ripping out the vanity we realized the owners put a HUGE hole in the plaster that we now have to repair so it has taken us a few days to plot our course of action.  We are also trying to figure out what to do with the walls because the top half of the walls is smooth plaster and the bottom half is textured.  Needless to say, that will NOT do so we have to figure out how to make it uniform.  Between the walls, floor, and door we have our hands full so I am VERY glad we decided to keep the custom tub (we will just have it refinished) because I'm not sure we could have handled one more project in there!

Here is a taste of what we are dealing with RIGHT outside our kitchen:
