We're coming up to the finish line, folks. Painting the ceiling and switching out the light were more or less the last things on our "to do" list for this bathroom renovation. There are still a few small maintenance things - like adding the floor transition, sealing the tile, etc, but those don't really affect the big "after". After painting all of the walls white, I was left wanting a pop of ... View the Post
project bathroom: the details, darling
Okay, so after all that talk about caulking yesterday let's get to something a little more pretty, shall we? Accessories. Whether they are for your outfits or a room in your home, who doesn't love accessories? They totally make a room (or outfit) and add that little bit of sparkle and fun. After doing a long list of labour-intensive projects (like demo, tiling, or laying a floor), adding the ... View the Post

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
project bathroom: the vanity
So when we last left off, we had done the demo and tub install, tiling around the shower, grouting, and laid the marble floor. 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
