Our New Bathroom!

Things have been a little crazy around here, so in true form, we decided to tackle a huge project right in the middle of everything! Since Mike actually had a few days off from work between Christmas and New Years, we went ahead a ripped out our main floor bathroom...fun!

The picture to the left was taken on the day we bought our new house. Absolutely nothing had changed in there since that day other than we fixed the toilet so it would work again. It was literally the only room in the house that we hadn't touched yet and it was driving me bonkers!

We were fortunate that a friend of ours works for an upscale Kitchen & Bath Design store and was on the lookout for a good deal for us. We were able to pick up a custom sink base, glass tiles, and a vessel sink for a fraction of the retail price. Bravo! 

So, we gutted everything and were left with a lovely shell to work with...

 Mike and I then picked out our floor tile and matching wall tile, a new mirror and light fixture, and new hardware for the walls.  Our super awesome friend, Deane, then came to help us lay the tiles. Mike ran the wet-saw, Deane laid the tiles and I ran back-up.

We leveled the floor, installed the
cabinet and did all the floor tile on the
first day, then the wall tiles the next.

Mike and I grouted on the third day and finished the rest of the bathroom on the 4th. It's not totally complete yet because the most fabulous part is still in transit. We have a beautiful Silestone top coming and our vessle sink is on back-order. We will then use some wonderful 4x4 glass tiles as a backsplash once the rest is installed. For now, we cut down the old sink and threw it back on top so that we had some way to wash our hands! It works and doesn't look terrible, but I can't wait to see the finished product in place!
