So, I bet you thought it wouldn't get any more exciting than patching walls on Monday's post? Well, get ready, we're going to talk about trim. Yep, this is a week of thrilling blog posts here on the sweetest digs. Anyway, just bear with me. Adding trim actually made a huge difference to our in-progress bathroom reno. Here is how this half of the room was looking pre-trim. The doorway was pretty ... View the Post
project bathroom: fixer uppers
Doing corners and filling holes. Not one of the more exciting steps in the reno process, but I'm just keepin' it real folks. This step always seems like it's going to take all of 20 minutes and somehow becomes a multi-day project. We had a variety of patching to do in our wee little bathroom - fixing existing walls, working on the new areas of drywall, and filling some big gaping holes. Let's ... View the Post
project bathroom: vanity take two
After we built our custom vanity (which you can read about here), it was time to install that sucker. Goodbye, teeny-tiny wall mounted sink with no storage! Remember how the Lillangen sink was practically bang on for measurements in our little nook? Well, once we held it in place with the vanity it just felt too close to comfort for us (like the door was *almost* scratching it as it ... View the Post

Our aim was to get all the big ticket stuff done first so that we could putter away at the small stuff but have a usable bathroom (remember, we only have one!). So the last on our "major things" list was the vanity and sink. We actually started this project some time ago ... View the Post
project bathroom: marble love
As you know from this post about tiling our tub surround, we chose carrara marble for our new floor. I couldn't help it. I love the stuff. Veins of pretty gray on a white background make my heart go pitter patter. Marble is known to be a softer stone (so can get dings and stains more easily -- why a lot of people choose not to go with marble as their kitchen countertops), but since the surface ...

project bathroom: getting grouty
So after laying the tile last week around our new tub, it was time to get grouting. We couldn't use our shower until we had grouted, so we were itching to move quickly on this step (showering at the gym and friends' houses was not so convenient). Here's the tile how we left off, pre-grout. Time to fill in all of those open gaps. We bought a basic white, unsanded grout from our local ... View the Post
