Bathroom Remodel #3

Bathroom Remodel #3

Rock

Well we are moving right along.

This last week the rock wall has come to completion. 

Where we began, from a storage room where

my plants wintered.

 Window trim installed

 Cement board going in. 

 Finished trim, including over window, 

and rock wall is finished. 

Next up, chinking and then the floor. 

Envision a double slipper tub in front of the window. 

Love how it is turning out.

Bathroom Remodel Part 2

Bathroom Remodel Part 2

The remodel continues with the addition of

a hexagon window.

The weather tried to cooperate today

so we could open the outside wall

to install the new window.

See the pretty blue sky.

The outside was a bit more difficult and noisy

then the inside.  

That tin is not very forgiving.

It is in!

Outside trimmed.

Sure looks good doesn't it.

Kirk did a great job, as always.

Next up, 

Preparing for rock installation.  

This room is really coming together.

It is going to be a really nice bathroom.

And the new look from outside standing in the front yard.

Why is there a door leading onto the roof, you ask?

Much easier then using a ladder to climb up

on the roof to fix stuff.  

The second floor is where my quilt studio is, 

soon with a new bathroom.  Though.

This space would make the most awesome master,

who knows, we may have to rearrange things.  

Bathroom remodel?

Can I call this a Remodel?

Back in 2008 we added an addition to our house.

Now in 2017 we are completing the bathroom in that addition.

Here is a link to one of the original posts about 

the addition.  The 3rd picture is the room,

Now 9 years later.

This room has just been there, in the winter I have used it 

to house my plants and as you can see by the pictures

below, a lot of other things.

 Left over construction supplies, from when we originally 

built this area.  It did get insulated but we never

have been able to finish.

 I also acquired some old windows and this became a 

storage place for stuff.

 We got the studio side of the second floor 

all chinked with the help of our grandson, Bryce a

couple summers ago.   Which is on the other side of this wall.

 Looking at the bathroom from the studio side.

 The view.

After getting the studio side chinked and the rock on the 

wall behind the stove, I wanted to get 

the rest of the floor done. 

So we have been working on it for a few weeks now.

  After all these years we have decided to change our

original design.  Now we have to change the plumbing and

electrical.  Does that make this a remodel?

First sheet of sheet rock goes up.  Yippee!

Decided to do two sconces over the sink.

Wiring fixed for those.

Wow what a difference the sheet rock makes.  

Sink goes on this wall, as well as toilet.

Glass in the open space above the wall.

Again looking into the bathroom from studio.

The glass is call  "glue chip"

here is a link so you can see what it is like.

 Over the last week and a half I have been doing the

mudding and tapping  on the seams, then textured.

 Then added my fern stencils (have them downstairs, too).

 Today finished up the first coat of the paint.

Tomorrow I will do the top coat. 

 Ferns painted.  

This will also get a coat of glaze which will help the ferns

come to life.

Above the door you see and a bit to the left will be a hexagon window.

Cabinets will be quarter sawn oak. 

We will have a double slipper tub in the bay window.

with rock on the wall behind it.

Stay tuned 

more to come.

Paint, Plants and Dirt

Oh what a beautiful day it was yesterday.
I just had to take advantage of the wonderful weather.

So outside I went
with empty Nesquik, beans, dog food, and tomato sauce cans,
plus 3 cans of spray paint.

Lime green, yellow and teal.


Spray, spray, spray.

It really is a good idea to take off your rings when painting.

I got so jazzed about doing this job that I forgot.

What is interesting is normally I do not wear my rings

around the house, just to much to mess them up.

We had plans to go out on Sunday, so put them on and forgot 

to take them off.     Sigh.  

Good news.....the rings cleaned right up, good as new!

So after painting my cans, and myself, I began to plant.

Are these not cute.  Little cactus

Tomato plants

Aloe and Hens and Chicks
(Remember to click on the pictures to enlarge).

Next step is to add twine and little labels, these
are all being donated to a fund raiser here in our town.
I love how they came out.

 

Just to cute

God Bless you and this country.
