Well I was just reminded last night that I have a blog ;) It's gotten so busy around here and I kind of lost my reno mojo. Last I left off we were finishing up the beadboard and starting on the trim. After a million a lot of trips to Home Depot/Lowes finally finished all that...FINALLY. Cuts weren't perfect as you can see below but that doesn't really matter when you can just cover it all up :)
Next step was picking out flooring!! I wanted a wood or laminate just Justin quickly talked me into tile since this bathroom belongs to 2 boys who love to dump bath water on the floor...
We went to Floor and Decor and if you've never been there, it's a great place with tons of selections in every price range. It was there we found the coolest tile ever (in my opinion of course!) Tile...that was layed in planks like wood. I don't know anyone whose done it and it could have turned into a distaster but I think it turned out pretty well! We had to put down sub flooring first...
Not so much fun...
And it was really really hot in there so we had to go get one of these!
It felt like a ice box in there after that :)
Laying tile took some getting used to...ok it SUCKED...but once I figured it out it wasn't so bad...
My back begs to differ though.
(Leave it up to my husband to take pictures...this was the only picture that didn't include a full butt close up)
We used the tiniest spacers they had to get the minimum amount of grout line.
And then Justin grouted...
After the tile got all cleaned up we measured and cut the new base boards.
Here's the baseboards down, iphone pictures so pretty grainy.
Puttin' in a new toilet...
And this is how we covered up our mistakes around the edges of the beadboard.
Now all it needs is a little paint over the beadboard and trim and touchups around the red paint. And then the decorating :)
I can't wait to post a before and after of it all (started decorating already) but this is what I'm going for...
