Day 23 - So close

Just a few more pieces of tile molding, a mirror and sconces and the bathroom will be finished. But it is gorgeous and ready to use as is. Here are a few pictures (I really need a wide-angle lens) before the inaugural shower.

Day 22 - Back to the Bathroom

New Tub? Nope, that is my old one but re-glazed. Looks brand new, amazing! I think this should be mandatory for all rental turnovers. If so, maybe I would have taken a bath once in the last four years I have lived in NY.

Day 21 - Moving on from the bathroom

Although there are few things left to be done in the bathroom, we are moving on to other parts of the apartment. Remember this fabulous arch?












(For those of you who have not been to my apartment, this is a very old before picture of the bedroom. Don't worry, I have not been sleeping on a bed made of just boxes and a duvet.)

















Now: the "tribute to the 70s" is gone and the framing for a new bedroom door has begun. As well as a storage nook above - again, all the extra space you can get!

Warmly yours

...yes you are

Day 20 - Vanity and Paint

The vanity and sink went in today (sad to cover up so much of the floor, but I NEED storage) as well as the shower fixtures and the rest of the toilet. You can also see a hint of the pink walls (I'm a girl, leave me alone).

Day 17 - Grout

What a difference grout makes. It is really starting to look like a finished bathroom. The new toilet helps too.

Day 16 - Home Stretch

The floor is almost completely tiled; my design, Paul's handiwork - loving it! But I have to wait at least a week before trying out the radiant heat floor (too bad, I was hoping to test it out as a new nap spot). The walls are close, too, so just a few more finishing touches and I'll be able to post the "After" pictures.

Day 15 - More tile, More floor

Walls look great, floor is coming along...

Day 14 - Floor

I know this doesn't look like much now, but it will probably be my favorite thing about the bathroom. Any guesses?

Day 11 - Even More Tile

I am sure this is boring to everyone but me...but here are pictures of the tile progress.
