…Unless the object being demolished is made of cast iron. Whoops.
The last post chosen as a finalist in the Old House Blogger Contest comes from Oh Apostrophe. In her post titled: When “After” is Worse Than “Before” Oh Apostrophe documents the bumpy road she travels while renovating one of her four bathrooms and removing a very blue bathtub.
It's blue just like the toilet and the sink
While poking around Oh Apostrophe’s blog checking out other projects in the works, I learned that in celebration of 10,000 visitors to her blog this week (congrats!), Oh Apostrophe is offering a free homemade stocking by Marla Rowe of Prairie Path to one lucky reader. Leave a comment on her blog for your chance to win.

Sounds like a few strong contractors are needed here. No use in trying to destroy that thing. I bet you could get a pretty penny for it on ebay from someone looking for a beth bathtub.
Haha, looking at your pictures brings back such “fond” memories of dealing with our matchy-matchy avocador green, dirty pink, mustard yellow and turquoise blue bathrooms….hard to believe there was ever a time when bathrooms like that were “in”.
And I thought I had it bad with flower wallpaper and pink formica counters in all 3 of our bathrooms!
Can’t wait to see all the ‘after’ pics!
I love the humor worked into her renovation posts! What a cool old house… their hard work will surely pay off. Nice to have such a handy husband who works in the construction industry, too!
5 stars for “When after is worse than before!!!!”
This site does an awesome job of showing the trials of home renovations with humor and wit!
Great work!
Congrats on doing the house yourself! Renovating old homes in Annapolis are tricky, but sometimes well-worth the paperwork that the historic district requires.
Good luck!

I love reading about your re-do!
this is such a fantastic blog! I read it religiously and I’m really looking forward to seeing the “after” pictures of some of her amazing projects!
Doing your own home renovations can be messy and time consuming, I prefer to hire a professional like the guys at http://www.deltahomerenovations.com they do a great job and when I had them do my bathroom renovation I got exactly what I was looking for and it was done in a couple weeks.
