Bathroom is painted!

We got the bathroom all painted:)  And the ceiling!  Remember the ceiling was gold and the bathroom walls were green?  We like this much better!

Color for the walls

Hubby finally found a paint color he likes - then the ceiling will be a color called "Pale Glow".  The ceiling paint has a sheen to it.  It is pretty much just an ivory color.  Will definitely look better than the gold I had on before:)

Bathroom Remodel Day 13

The bath tub is in!  YEAH!  We let the granddaughters take a bath in it yesterday and everything works!
We had a problem with the plumbing fixtures... so we had a few days of inactivity.  But everything is a go
now... had to tear out some tile in the shower and the tile man is coming later today... there is always something that goes wrong - you just have to be patient and think of the end results....

Bathroom Remodel Day 8

The grouting is finished!

I love the accent tiles - they are glass and tumbled stone.

Here is a paint sample called 'Basket Weave' - Bob wants to go a bit darker on the paint.

Bathroom Remodel Day 7

Guess what goes here!  

Love having them use the tile as a mop board instead of wood.

Alex has done a beautiful job laying the tile.  It has to set for 24 hours then he will come back and grout and then seal:)     You can tell I took these pics in the daytime - the colors are truer than the previous pics which were taken in the evening after the guys left.   Love how it is turning out:)

Bathroom Remodel Day 6

The tile is going up and the pebble shower bottom in:)

Sure do love the way the tub is looking.

Close up of the pebble shower floor.

Bathroom Remodel Day 5

Our counter top arrived!  We love it!

Here are on the the under counter sinks... the other one broke when trying to install the countertop.

The Tiler is starting to lay some of the tiles... this is in front of the tub.

That covering on the shower walls is a protective waterproof coating.  It is applied from rolls.   The rolls look like paper towels:)

Somebody got into their candy early....

Somebody (like Mr. Bob!) was snooping in my shopping bags yesterday and opened up their present!  We are so lucky to have a See's Candy shop near us.  They make the best chocolates!  YUM!

Pebble Flooring for the Shower

Our contractor recommended using this instead of tile for the shower floor.  Looks cool, hope it feels as good as it looks:)

Valentine Pillowcases for the Grandbabies

Love making pillowcases for the grandbabies... when nap time comes - they always want their pillows.  I got this fabric at Joann's - especially love the lips!  

Bathroom Remodel Day 4

This is called a 'mud' bath - the foundation for the pebble flooring for the shower.

We laid out some of the tile for the floor ... looking good, especially that cute foot:)

I was home today, so I got to take a picture of our Tiler... he is so sweet:)
I'm sure he appreciates the painted fairies in the background of his photo:)

Bathroom Remodel Day 3

The guys are super careful about our wood floors - so nice!

Got the marine backer board up so they can start the floor of the shower and start putting up tile:) 

More backer board... see the spot on the right - where water rotted the wood, this is what started the whole bathroom remodel...

New tile for bathroom

This is the main tile for the floors, bathroom walls and tub area.

This is the pretty tile that will be put sparingly here and there.

And the grand finale.... the granite for the counter top!  I can't wait to see this in:)

Day One of bathroom remodel

Here is day one of the remodel... the crew of 3 guys sure were fast!  Took only 5 hours:)

Bathroom remodel...

We are having our bathroom remodeled...  here is what it looked like before the tear out.

Granddaughter's apron

Made this darling apron for my Granddaughter - she loves to make pancakes on Monday mornings with her Papa:)  I used Tina Givens 'Bee' material - one of my all time favorite and then I made the bias binding from a Jane Sassaman pink and blue dotted fabric.  She loves the pocket - we found this mini bottle of Aunt Jemima's syrup that she claims as hers:)
