The Great Bathroom Remodel Charlie Brown!

My fiance is going to kill me for telling everyone this, but he looks like Charlie Brown. I think that in the past people used to call him that. I don't really know how sensitive he is about it, but it tends to rub him the wrong way just a bit when I say it to him. It makes me giggle.

Anyway, I have been wanting to re-model my bathroom since we bought this house. There isn't really anything seriously wrong with it, so the only changes I want to make are cosmetic. I have been doing small pieces here and there since we moved in. It is much more cost effective to change little things throughout the year instead of trying to do it all at once. The reason we are trying to do this now, is because I would like to be able to put our house on the market this Spring. The issue is that my fiance (like most men) is slightly slow at doing things. So I have to push him into making the improvements that I know need to be made not only to just simply sell this house in an economy where the buyer essentially can choose from hundreds of houses, but also, things that will actually help us sell this house for more money than it would if we didn't make these improvements.

Experts say that the most profitable places to improve in a house is the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is our next project, but this weekend we tackle my bathroom. So on the to do list: replace light fixtures, replace faucets, and replace flooring (my god our floor is so ugly). The floor might not get completed this weekend, it depends on how much time we have after our other projects and errands. But hopefully next weekend we can finish anything that we didn't have time to get to.
These are the before pictures:
