Master Bath walls...

This is the master bathroom wall.  :)  We, John & I, decided not to put crown moulding at the top of the tile walls. It looks good with it stopping right there in the corner. 
David and I were just down there to look at the latest supplies...  That will be my next post. :)

The other side of that window. There's not much that has to be done here in this bathroom...  Well, I do have to decide where to put a small ceiling fan & light. 






I copy and pasted a picture of the fan from Lowe's website.  There were 20 something reviews... all were positive comments.  I saw it at Lowe's when we first started the demolision.

Window trim is done... Crown moulding is done...  Vent is installed, cover is attached...  This part of the bathroom is finished... 
As soon as the flooring in the rest of the cabin is installed... the cabinets built and installed, doors installed...  What else??? There will be some serious cleaning to do in there.  But... that will be good!  After the floor is down, I can order our storage bed.  :)

This is the back of the shower wall.  John did a really good job of finishing off that wall.  It didn't look right with the tile stopping where it did.  The casing trim with a little cut off one side was perfect!  The texture is the same on the walls and ceiling.  I love it!!!

The shower side of that wall.  Another two months should have us moving in.  That will give John time to get the floor down and get the cabinets finished??? 
That will also have me all finished with H & R Block!!!!  YES!!! 
That will also be a couple of anniversaries for me.  High school graduation and wedding anniversary... both in May. 

Different time of day...

 It is amazing how different it looks in the morning, compared to night time.  This was from Sunday, Feb 6th at 11am.  The ceiling looks different and the paint looks different.  A much softer look to everything. 

 I really like the shadows on the wall!  That alcove is going to be a cabinet type dresser thing.  The room is only 10'x 11'.  With a king size bed that is about six foot square, there is just not much room left for furniture!  John is working on the trim...  Oops! I'm getting ahead of myself.  There's a few things to tell you before we get to the trim!!!  :-)

This post is about how all these rooms look in daylight.  I am always surprised when I look at the previous posts w/pictures... There is such a change one week to another and sometimes, one day to another.  I'm trying to be patient and not hurry the process.  We've waited this long...  Nov 2002 to now.  Another month or two is not such a long time.

Master Bath tile...

The tile in the master bath is finished!  Grouted and cleaned.  Looks GREAT!!!  There's enough room in there to wash my hair without hitting my elbows on the wall or shower curtain.  The water will hit the top of my head instead of the back of my neck.  

I guess that Eric, the plumber, could put in the shower head and trim... and all the things that go on the Jacuzzi.  Yes! That will work!!!  Oh! ... wait... John has to get back in there to paint.  I'm trying to get ahead of myself.  It's just so hard to wait... 

The grout looks very light colored, but it isn't.  The color is Bone and was the darkest of the neutrals that Lowe's had on their chart.   I'm very pleased with it.  Darker grout would have worked, but I had an hour and a half to make all the choices for the tile... what size tile went where... what color grout...  sanded vs. unsanded...  Then, when I had all those choices made, the salesman looked on his computer to make sure they had enough...  Nope.  Someone had bought some of the same tile I wanted.  That is why there are three colors, instead of just one or two.  But... it has worked out beautifully!  and I love it!

More tile...

From Tuesday, January 25, 2010...
The shower floor is done!  I didn't walk in there, just leaned over as far as I could to get the picture.  Can hardly wait til he starts grouting everything!!!  Guess I'd better ask if the grout color is going to be OK???  And I might need to get more.

Terry got the Schluter put on the other shower.  It looks awfully tight in there!  But when I've stood in there, raised my arms up as if to wash my hair, I wasn't hitting my elbows on anything. 
Terry left me a voice message to get another 3 boxes of the bullnose edging.  I had a feeling I didn't buy enough!  That's OK...  Everything is looking so good!  I am VERY pleased!!!

I didn't take any photos of the rest of the cabin.  It's hard to take exciting photos of drywall that's being mudded & taped.  It is slowly coming along, though.  LOL!  John even fixed the place where I'd stuck my fingers in his freshly mudded wall last night.  ...  Sorry, John!  I'll try to be more careful from now on.

More bathroom...

Looking through the bathroom door.  The end of the Jacuzzi and edge of the shower.  There's a big window on the other side of the tub.  The shower is open on two sides.  There was only so much room in there. 

Tub, shower & water closet...

Here's the Jacuzzi.  That sure would have been nice the last couple of days!!! 
I have 6" tile for the walls...  Oops!  I already posted that in the post... Porcelain tile...
Oh...  We have a new tile guy!  Terry will be here in the morning to get started!!!!  He was recommended by the guy where I bought the Schluter waterproofing system.  He's worked with it and knows how to install it properly.  And, he's a really nice guy.  After measuring everything to figure what he'll be doing, he stopped by the office to let me know.  :-)  Yes!  First impressions go a long way towards things working out... or not.  I can hardly wait til tomorrow night to see what he's done!!!!

The water closet...  Well... that sounds better than toilet.

It will be a while before that goes in.  We're quite a way from calling the plumber back to finish all that.  Gosh!  There are lots of things that go into building a house... or remodeling one!!!  While John is the carpenter, I guess I'm the coordinator???  or is that general contractor?  And I'm the one who has a hard time picking out colors!!!!   

The shower...  For so long, this has been just a bunch of studs with some insulation between them.  Now, it actually looks like a shower!!!  Tomorrow night, there may even be a floor in there!!!!
