The Bathroom's Finished

Before & After...







Well almost finished. We have a slight leak in the toilet that we've yet to figure out. And...we haven't decided what to do about the white cabinet. Tempted to antique it, but would like to be done. Just need to put the knobs back on.

Remodel Update

So exciting. The bathroom remodel is just about done and we can't wait to kick the boy out of our bathroom. He was very considerate and didn't really get in our way, but we're not used to sharing. The pictures show the new flooring (travertine), counters (tumbled marble), shower accent (travertine that matches both the floor and the counter backsplash), and paint (Broome by Ralph Lauren). Pat did all the plumbing last night so the sinks and toilet are back in service. I caulked the bathtub and sinks (still need to do the toilet). Only a few things left to do: towel bars and tp holder; hang the mirrors (yes, two); touch up the wood trim; caulk the toilet; install the shower curtain rod; and optionally, paint or antique the cabinets and install the knobs. That's it!! So, here are a few preliminary pictures:


You can see the new trim and the paint color in this picture.


Here are the new faucets and sinks and one of the mirrors. Not sure we want to leave the cabinets white.


You can see the floor here. The old floor was gray and pink linoleum Vast improvement.

Powder Room complete in time for Thanksgiving

All we need is a little color.

What were we thinking?

Why did we destroy our powder room just before the wedding and Thanksgiving. Next week...25 guests for Thanksgiving dinner and so far, no working facilities on our main floor. I guess we just couldn't take the
circa 1992 wallpaper for another second.








So we ripped and ripped it off until we couldn't take it anymore and had to go golfing. Finished the dirty work after hitting a few balls around the course.

Every day for the last week we've done a little (exture, primer, paint, baseboards) until now we have metallic gold painted walls and a new light fixture. The search for a vanity continues...


...and the dog slept.
