Since my last update post (10 days ago) I've been tiling around the shower/tub. It has been really hard...no lie--my arms have been aching with tiredness each night. I bought a tile cutter at Lowes instead of renting one it was cheap like $19. And then I had to buy a diamond tipped bit for my drill to cut the faucet holes...
live and learn, right? I just hope it will be water tight when its all done...some of my grout lines are off...it is what it is!
(Flickr lost my photos so these are only before and afters)
Before It was a almond color with pink wall paper...
I got a pale grey color for the grout...and I painted the tub white, behind the tile is cement board and on the floor under the tub also..
After
The end of the tub had a short shelf, before
I made a taller one with a storage cubby for cleaning supplies.

The John area before

and the light fixture is up over where the mirror will go...its the oil rubbed bronze color I plan to tie it all together with the vanity so we'll see how that goes. I built the vanity out of scrap material of the beadborad wall panel I put on the walls.
And I found some cool globes from Habitat store for it...it had some cute globes but one got broken in all the make-over-mayhem!
the entire floor had to be ripped out and the subfloor too...
After:
The wall canvas arrived....however I didn't like the size for the big wall in the living room area...that wall needs something longer and this is the longest canvas they make so I did a grouping of 3 canvases, so I hung this one in the dining room,
I ordered a 3 canvas grouping of 2) 18 x 24"s and one 32 x 24" of some of my original artwork, and I like this better...
Meanwhile today my son is here ripping the rest of the old wood off the deck out back...he has promised to help me with a few of the heavier projects...Im thrilled!
Progress, is in progress!
PEACE
