WC Remodel - 3

Here are a few more pics from this weekend's work. Well, actually the painted bedroom was done the day Jill got home from Dallas!

The bedroom is now khaki colored - I'm sure Jill can tell you the official color's name if you are so inclined. This is the view looking at the closet door.


This is looking at the west window.


And this is looking at the north window. You can't really see the texture, but it looks 100% better!


I got some work done in the bathroom yesterday. This is the vanity in place for measurement. It will be removed before I lay tile. I want the tile underneath it for the extra height.


This is the linen cabinet that is set back into the wall between the studs.


Looking into the linen cabinet, I had to notch out one corner to go around the corner stud. It will be caulked and the stud was sanded and sealed. It doesn't quite match, but once it is full of towels you will never know!


This is the commode corner. Mother Jill suggested a chocolate brown color above the beadboard wainscoting, so we are trying it. Not sure if we like it or not. It is much easier to paint before all the trim is up, though!


Here is what happens when you take the cheapest plumbing bid. I got ready to install the shower and put down the base. There wasn't a drain pipe in the hole. So, I drew a circle where the drain pipe should be. It's way off. I told them to center the pipe at 12"x12". they did it at 15".


Finally, I got the medicine cabinet installed. It is right above and to the side of the vanity and the shower will be in the big white spot beside it. Since the linen cabinet butted against a wall, I didn't need one piece of the crown molding. I was able to redo it a bit and make it fit this cabinet, which didn't have a molding. It turned out looking much better and seems to help it match better too.

We went to Lowe's after church and picked up the beadboard and electrical supplies. Soon it will be looking much more finished and have it's own lights!
