Bathroom-Almost Done

This is going to be a catch-up post and then I will post ONE more time with the finished bathroom.
First, the window.  I used frosted glass spray paint first and then I added window 'panes' with thin molding I spray painted black.
Before:

  After:
 
 The bathtub J sanded down and used a spray specially made for refinishing tubs.
Before:
After:

We have put up the lights over the vanity and the mirrors are back up.  Toilet is back in!  Woohoo! The lights were outdoor lights from Lowes that came in a silver finish.  I spray painted the inside white and the outside Restoleum's Oil Rubbed Bronze.  J finished the vanity today.  We used Spar-varnish to seal it so we are waiting for that to dry before we attach the sinks.

 This is the view standing by the toilet looking back toward the door.  J had redone the shower about 6 years ago so we didn't change anything on that.


 We also hung a cheap mirror from Walmart on the back of the door and framed it out with the same molding we used at the top of the paneled wall.

It is getting there.  We are burned out to say the least.  I gave us until Thanksgiving to finish it.  Since we are having to unexpectedly go out of town this weekend I am going to say we made it.:)  I skipped over a lot of the actual step-by-step process but if you have any questions just let me know.
Oh, and just so you don't think home improvement is all a piece of cake (although, I hope you would never think that anyway) here are a few pictures of what happens when your newly installed bathtub's pipe is leaking inside the new paneled wall:

We had to take all our pots and pans out of the cupboard that shares a wall with the bathroom and J cut the drywall to get to the pipes since we didn't want to have to cut our new panels.  I have it sprayed down with bleach water and a fan blowing on it.  Yeah, just about lost it on that one.
