Tile Installation

I am sure you are tired of hearing about the powder room, but when 2 people both have full time jobs and are doing it themselves... things move slowly! Thank goodness for my in-laws who came in the help us. Tonight we tiled. Did I say we? I meant my husband. It's hard to fit 2 people in a bathroom too small to be a closet. What can I say? I made dinner.

Where it all started. Thankfully, it came via UPS without any broken!

Looking good

Tools of the trade. Not messy at all

The tile is done! Well except for the grout, sealer... then the baseboard, shoe molding....

My hands have calluses. We painted the powder room ... 1 coat of primer plus 2 coats of paint. My ideas for the powder room switched around a little this weekend. After deciding that a dark color would be too cavernous for my 3' X 6' powder room, I went with .... white! I can't believe that I actually chose to paint a room white, but I am hoping with some accessories and the ceiling color, it won't be too boring.


My sister in law had it on a ceiling in her house... great inspiration! Ceiling color is Sherwin Williams Sleepy Blue.

My sink! I was trying to re-use my old console sink, but I finally found one that was small enough to fit in my tiny space and not too expensive. This sink is only 14 inches deep!

I love these coral prints from Horchow. Maybe for the back wall? I wonder if I could make these...

I'll keep you posted!

Nothing exciting today...

Well, today wasn't all that exciting. The guys got the drywall up, but no tape and float. Its already dusty. I have to admit it makes me a little anxious having other people working on our home. I walked in and they were repairing the hole in the foyer ceiling (from a pipe leak) and they were letting junk fall all over our wood floors. Ugh. At least in the bathroom everything is torn up. Anyway...this is the mirror I think I was to use... minus the ribbon on top.

Here is the progress in the powder room.

Thats all for now. Hopefully more exciting pictures to post soon.
