I am so excited to share the after photos with you! (In case you missed the first post, click HERE to see the before pics!) We absolutely love everything that was selected. Some things were purchased online (hardware/mirror), many items were purchased at Moluf’s (sink, toilet, faucet, shower fixtures, hot water heater). We love that place!

We found contractors for each job. The problem is when there is a problem with one it backs up everyone and it’s not easy to get back on the schedule in a timely manner.
