Last Post Was a Lie

Last Friday the plumbers came and rest everything. It wasn't until after they left that i actually got a good look at the toilet.

Wait! What?!?!

It looked like something my kids could have done. It was awful.

We contacted the contractors with the above photo and he said he would have them come back out on Monday to fix it.

I was happy to see it looking way better when we got home on Monday night.

Next up on the to do list:

Put cans on light

Hang mirror

buy a curtain rod

hang curtains

put up shower curtain

get a rug

decide about shelving above the toilet

the cans for the light were easy. well not easy but i was something i was able to do and we used the shower curtain that we had before, as well as the rod. so CHECK and CHECK

we also still need to paint the inside and the outside of the door and possibly the frame again. my mom is getting the rug today and i will have it in my hands sometime next week. we have this mirror but it doesn't really match the light fixture or the sink faucet. it does match the shower fixture and the bathroom floor. I think i am going to pull it out of the box one more time and maybe even hang it to get a feel for how we like it. i did find another one that i like but it is currently out of stock.

stay tuned. i am sure i will get photos eventually of what it looks like in the space.

it is nice to know that all the contract work is completed but there is still things we have to do to be completely ready. I did shower in there today though.

One Day left

We are just a day away from this project being completed.

this is the latest from where we last left off.

the shower ceiling got painted

while my hubs and i were enjoying the amazing weather last week i saw our baseboards

the walls got painted

the color is Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore if anyone wants to know

i knew baseboards were going in soon so i wanted to get a picture of the space before they went in

and one last picture of our janky door before the new one went in

new door and door knob ready and waiting to be installed

the new door had 1x4 framing and the existing door was a 1x2. i had to pull the baseboards away from the wall and had the guy trim the existing baseboards to fit against the new door. we are hoping to get new baseboards in the bedroom, eventually but it was not on the to do list just yet.

it is just so cute. now it needs to be painted.

love the way it looks in the space.

baseboards look so good too.

smallest bathroom ever.

the view from our bedroom of the door. i believe the did one coat on the frame. it needs another coat and i need to paint the door.

our pedestal sink will be there, hopefully tomorrow

and this will have the shower head and controller.

i think it will be fight on who gets the first shower in here. Little Girl said we should all put on our swim suits and get in there.

Bathroom Update

We prepared for them to come and finish the tile work and then grout.

guess what? no one showed up.

Then they came and finished the tile

and did the grout

But misplaced the bag of grout for the floor

apparently it made it's way back to the warehouse because it was labeled wrong

I couldn't make this stuff up if i tried

but isn't it beautiful? it took them like 15 minuets

The white cabinet came off the wall and we thought that when we came back from our vacation that it would be all painted.

we were wrong.

we came home to it looking the same.

we thought they were coming on Monday.....no painters showed up

They came on Tuesday and got that silicone off the wall and did some puttying

Random face

When they showed up to paint the putty wasn't dry. they said we should have put a fan on it. well......no one told us that we should have and we had a fan sitting right in the room, so.....not sure why they just didn't do that. 

so now the question of the day: is the putty dry? or maybe it should be will the painters show up to sand and finish the bathroom?

we shall see.
