Day, I don't know

I finally finished sanding, puttying and painting the bathroom vanity. We used Glidden paint and primer in Wood Smoke. I've never used a paint and primer in one before. It was easy and assuming the paint on the vanity continues to look good, I'll use it again. We got a mirror from Ross for only $50 bucks and I finally got to install my bargain hardware from Lowes-that I bought over a year ago.








Painting the wall cabinet, lighting and the rest of the bathroom hardware are next.

Day 5 and 6

No water, no sinks, no countertop and no mirror. My bathroom was worthless for the last 36 hours but Bart got most of it put back together an hour ago. Now I have a new granite counter, 2 new sinks, 2 new faucets and a taller more back friendly cabinet and I was able to seal the grout!





We still need new lights, hardware, a mirror and I need to paint the cabinet, plus we need to paint the ceiling and walls but we are making progress. Originally I was going to stain the cabinet a coffee brown but now I think I'm going to paint it grey instead.

Day 4

We grouted! Did you know that you are supposed to wait 3 days before you seal your grout? Hmm, guess that means 3 more days until I get to shower. Faulty.








I think it's looking pretty good though.

Day 3

Yesterday Bart was able to finish tiling the walls. He is planning on grouting tonight. We are hoping that the tiling was the most time consuming and that the next projects will be faster...vanity, counter, sink, faucet, paint, mirrors, hardware, etc.












By the way, I love my new toilet. I would recommend anyone getting the American Standard Cadet 3!

Day 2 of the bathroom

Since it was Columbus Day on Monday, Bart was able to work on the tiling the shower. I think it looks great- I am excited that the granite tiles in the shower will match the granite countertop we found at the bone yard.


















Now we just need to use someone's shower for a couple days until we can get it grouted and sealed. Any offers?

The LAST

 Bart started our last big house project on Saturday! Can you believe it..?..Me neither. We will see how long this project takes Bart with a baby, full time job, a wife that works 2 days a week, and a big church calling.

Check back for the progress. I'm going to try to post each day that Bart works on the bathroom.

Five years has come and gone. I am so grateful for Bart and for my little bald baby.  My mom did a really nice blog post about our wedding/the last 5 years- www.neesnews.blogspot.com. I think you should read it, :) since I don't have time (because Dutchy is crying) to do a better post today.
