Master Bath - done!!!

I think a strike plate is ALL that is left. So excited to move back into my master bed/bath!!!

p.s. I LOVE LOVE LOVE furniture on wheels!!!!

Cabana....done!!

still need to decide if I am going to stain the new wood.....or get a rug.....or what. will watch for sales of dining tables through the summer (and especially at the end of the season....)

Updates

Furniture is back in place (sorta) and I'm almost ready to move back into my master bedroom! Color in here is Osage Orange by Sherwin-Williams.














































And the cabana project is almost done! New floor in today and most of the electrical work is done. Tomorrow, hanging a ceiling fan and the final cleanup! David isn't going to stain the new boards....I'm trying to decide if that is a project I want to tackle, or if I just want to find an outdoor rug to bridge the gap.



I am planning to watch for sales on dining tables as the summer continues and winds down. Until then, I'll just set up my little folding chairs and enjoy a place to be outside, but in the shade and (man-made) breeze!






































new decking!

new outlet wired in with conduit for ceiling fan

ready for the fan!

Backyard Cabana Re-do - Day 1

So, the house also came with a great backyard patio and cabana. Inside the cabana was a hot tub.....which I never used. I think it probably worked, but I wasn't even able to get the cover off. So, I decided to utilize my handyman for a few more days and ditch the hot tub.





Before:

And after a day of demolition:

as with many other things in this house, I always discover interesting things -- like this spoon which was obviously buried under the hot tub. Why would you not clean out before setting a hot tub?!?! There were also various and sundry balls, action figures and toys in the dirt!!!

Master bedroom painting....before & day 1

Office Painting

A byproduct of the master bath remodel is painting both my office and master bedroom.....here are pics of the office:

before:






















after - the lighting makes it look a little crazy, but it is a deep brown (Grounded by Sherwin-Williams)

Master Bath Remodel - Day 24

the LAST day!! truthfully, there is still a little bit of work in the bathroom (the light fixture hasn't come in yet and the mirror isn't hung). BUT, the construction mess is cleaned up and the bathroom is quite a marked improvement over the beginning!!




















































































a much improved shower!!
















































































































































new pedestal sink and towel ring....














































































a great new window!!






































































nice, clean, painted cabinets!

same ceiling fan, but raised shower ceiling and new exhaust vent

exhaust vent, up close

new switches and towel ring

new toilet paper holder

nice new floor!!

and the final question....what do you think about a white mirror in the bathroom? I had in my head a darker frame, but couldn't find one I liked, so decided to stick with the regular (boring) no frame, bevel edge mirror. I can't decide if I like the white frame or not -- though it definitely does look better against the wall than the plain mirror does.....so.....any thoughts?!?

Master Bath Remodel - Day 23

a much cleaner bedroom today.....



















the sink fixture is in!

























the toilet is back in place....though the flusher still needs to be changed out
