Oh this bathroom redo is coming along just great!
Today the floor tiles were laid and Monday he will
come back to do the grout.
I started to stencil the walls but ran out of time yesterday
to get more done, now I have to wait a couple more days
to try and finish it up...I'm so anxious I'm antsy LOL
Doug's work is done until the cabinet doors and drawers go back on
- but I think I can find something for him to do 😊
Counters/sinks/faucets installed last week.
I think my biggest problem will be what kind of curtain
to put up. Possibly just a plain white sheer on the rod kind....
nothing fancy - it's a small window.
Doug put up the wainscot and chair rail Thursday
and it just brought things together!
Yesterday I tested colors and design for the stencil.
Some of you may or may not recognize some of it....
I used 'parts' of the stencil from our bedroom.
We liked it so much and besides why waste them and
buy new ones for what they cost.
I didn't use the 'leaf' parts of the stencil because I didn't want
to introduce a 3rd color. I wanted just the gray and aqua.
This is what I came up with for color
....and this is the design
And of course...today the floor was laid - grout comes Monday.
We chose a very light gray - didn't want the tiles to be too defined.
In a way when this room is finished it will be a let down.
Doug and I both love projects - big and small.
So I think possibly the next one is the
crown molding for the dining room...
told you I would think of something for him to do!!!

ReplyDeleteKaren, I’m so excited for you. Even if it’s only been the half bath, I know what it’s like to go from dated to pretty. I know you’re going to love it. 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I have just discovered your blog again! I look forward to having time to read it through. I used to follow your blog years ago. My blog at that time was called Primitive Devotion. It got hacked and I could never get it back. Lots of time between then and now, but I still love primtives. :o)
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to visit me at myfarmhouseblue.blogspot.com
