Bathroom Renovation - Part 3

After a short lull in the productivity department we finally made some progress on the reno this weekend. I actually got the painting done a little over a week ago and boy is it bold! I mostly love it, but I'm slightly intimidated by the boldness of it. Clearly I can't think of any other word than "bold" to describe it so how about a picture so you can judge for yourself...




I figure of any room in the house to go a little crazy with color, why not the bathroom? Besides, everything else in this room will be black or white. A splash of color is really neccessary.

Below is a close up of our wonderfully vintage-looking new tile. I've been coveting this tile for months and months and I'm so happy it's finally mine!

After a frustrating trip to Lowes on Friday to gather more supplies, we actually got to working on the floors on Saturday. We laid the backer-board, did a dry fit of all of the tile, made the neccessary cuts, and finally got out the trowl and mortar and got them all down on the floor...

Due to Mother's Day and the fact that the temperature dropped overnight we weren't able to grout yesterday, but that is on the plate for tonight. I'm really trying to push this project through to completion as soon as possible - partly because I'm sick of the entire first floor of my house looking something like this...


And partly because Husband is finally home full-time and I'm sick of sharing one bathroom (and NO the urinal does not count!) Stay tuned for further developments...
