Megan here---I updated my blog (http://www.urbantastes.com/2012/11/20/bathroom-re-do/) with a couple more 'before' photos and there are also a bunch more afters there as well. It's a very small space so it's very tricky to capture everything at once. Budget was around 10K, maybe a bit more after we had to have some unexpected plumbing work done---basically replacing the main pipe up to the bathroom. I don't remember it being that expensive to move the tub since there was plumbing there already and it's such a small space but it definitely did not change costs dramatically. Definitely worth it though. The bathroom feels much more spacious now.

Beautiful! I love that with all the dark wood, the house still manages to be a happy, inviting space.

I've been wondering for a while how to paint knobs w/o them touching anything. Great idea!

I was wildly surprised to find the sideboard I bought off craigslist last week pictured in this post! I bought it for personal use b/c it was so awesome and unique. But when I picked it up it was MUCH bigger than I expected and wouldn't fit the space. Conveniently enough, I have an online shop where I sell furniture and other vintage stuff, so I painted it (the veneer was more messed up than you can tell from this picture) and is now for sale here: www.urbantastes.com. I get that people aren't fans of painted furniture but it was kind of essential for this piece given the veneer issues.

lots of towels on sale at garnet hill...
