Halloween = Orange Tub Surround

Well we didn't meet our Oct. 30 deadline for our hall bathroom renovation.  We had hoped to get the bathroom done in time to host a Halloween party, but it didn't quite work out.  One of our neighbors hosted a Halloween party yesterday, so we celebrated a day early.

Today we went to work on waterproofing our walls.  It went a lot faster and easier than the first time around.  Unfortunately, we ran out of Kerdi before we could waterproof the third wall.  If anyone has 6 linear feet of Kerdi laying around, shoot us an email.

 Hope everybody had a safe and happy Halloween!

Hall Bathroom Status Update

I have been meaning to blog, but we've been pretty busy with work, the bathroom, the pups, and life in general!

All the walls have been primed, and the ceiling primed and painted.  We are still trying to decide on a color for the walls.  We are leaning towards gray (but have yet to select the right shade).

This weekend we installed the floor tile. It was not easy because not a single wall was square!  We tried 2 different laser levels, but they did not work on the floor.   So we had to lay them out in several rows first, then drew the lines.

Phoenix was trying to be a little to helpful and ended up with some thinset on her nose.

And today we finished grouting.  The Shore Playela tiles came out really nice, and gives us the feeling of walking on the beach.

Shawn, the cabinet maker, came out today to take final measurements for the vanity.  We are so excited to see the finished product.  We're not sure yet if we want to stain the birch or leave it natural.  We'll see.
