Sink! Countertop! Gorgeousness!

10/26/2024

… and yes, ONE SINK is what we requested, as opposed to the popular TWO SINK design most bathrooms are trending. So what you see here is LOTS of countertop space for daily glamming up purposes - and what you DON’T see is the added cabinet space due to only one sink taking up plumbing real estate had another sink been installed. White with blueish-gray in the quartz countertop ties the whole color scheme together alongside the new flooring and cabinets, exactly as we imagined.

NEXT UP: Mirror, light fixture, final paint.

… in the way of a NEW SHOWER DOOR. And let me just say that it is a most WONDROUS sight to behold even though we were unexpectedly visited by the installation guy at the crack of dawn for getting that beauty installed in our shower.

Note to Self: Always good practice to be on top of email and SMS communications before bedtime each night during renovations lest you find yourself getting caught off-guard in your jammies the next day as experienced in this case. 🫣

PAINT is a Beautiful Thing

… especially when you’ve been looking at mustard-gold colored walls for the past 20 years. I mean LOOK AT IT! The new gray-toned color is making the room so much BRIGHTER. And those highlights within the porcelain tile? They actually POP thanks to the new paint. So now as we patiently await the new vanity, cabinet, and sink, we’re scoping out light fixtures to replace the old gold-toned ones and match the new brushed copper towel racks we’ll be installing soon.

Let there be TILE (and Fixtures)

Despite a few blips in the schedule radar due to weather and transportation issues, our bathroom contractors gave us exactly what we needed with the final grout, fixtures, and drywall work. Also had another consultant stop by and spec out the new shower door, leaving us with a handy shower rod and curtain to use temporarily until final door installation. With all of this progress complete, we’re ready to apply a fresh coat of paint to cover the goldenrod left behind on the walls, this time with something more grayish-colored to match the new design palette. NEXT UP: New vanity, sink, and wall cabinet… and maybe some replacement towel and toilet roll fixtures.

Bathroom Revamp… Let’s GO!

7/31/2024

Since remodeling our kitchen a couple of years ago, we always knew the primary bathroom would be next up on our list for renovation. So after a brief conversation bringing the idea back to the forefront of our home improvement plans, we got the ball rolling by reaching out to our rockstar contractors who were ready and willing to make the dream happen. And so here is the start of our latest home remodel project in photo gallery form as I document the exciting progress in real time.
​So. EXCITED!
