What I've learned

 1) Bathroom work is messy.

 

 2) An outdoor gardening mat works really well to cushion knees.

 

 3) Hand protection would have also been a good idea.  Shards of ceramic tile are....sharp.

 

 4) Pedestal sinks don't look heavy.  They lie.

 

5) It's fun to go down memory lane: Ah, how I hated pulling all that wallpaper off the top of the walls; how I thought the green was a good color choice after that; oh how much I love the grey.

6) Demo first; ask for opinions later.  Can you guess what the decision was on the bead board?  I had one "no" vote, one "yes" vote.  I broke the tie and just tore it down before I was outvoted!
