Bath Reno Take 2

I have more reno photos to share! If you aren’t interested in bathroom before and afters, then go ahead and jump on over to Facebook! We are getting closer. These pics were taken since my last post but we have come a long way since these. I will update more soon! It has been fun, exhausting, stressful, time consuming, etc. but I know it’ll all be worth it when it’s all done. If I sound like I am complaining about redoing my bathroom, I AM NOT! 🙂 It’s just a process and it’s not all fun! I thrive on a clean, organized house. A renovation and having people in and out all day every day is rockin my world! 🙂

Here is the shower area again. I think I had a pic in my last post with the frame of the shower. As of today it’s fully tiled (but not grouted). More pics coming soon!

Here is our vanity area again. It’s amazing that they can take THIS and make it in to something beautiful! We now have some cabinets in place and the counter top SHOULD go in tomorrow. IMG_9299

When I go in each day (several times a day), I am never quite sure what shape things are going to be in! This was a mess….

This is my soon-to-be closet, which has our old toilet in it….

This is the condition of our bedroom and one of the many nights we have spent time sorting through tile, one at a time. Jeff and I have gone through hundreds of tile. They are 18×18 and heavy. We chose a travertine tile which is beautiful, but the color varies from one piece to the next. They come in packs of 4, and in most cases we may have only chose 1 tile out of the 4 for our “keep” pile. Did I mention the tile is heavy? and dirty!! It’s going to be beautiful though!!

And now what we have all been waiting for! TILE!! This was after the floor was laid and I think the last corner piece went in yesterday. Saturday morning, we get GROUT!

Our shower with the 2nd round of floor tile! The shower floor was tiled, then removed, then tiled again.

Another pic of the floor! You might be able to see some of the variation.

This is my old closet which will now be Jeff’s closet. It is a MESS!!! Eventually this will all be cleaned out and we will have new carpet! Again, I’m amazed that this will be clean and new soon cause it is NASTY right now! 🙂

This is out of order, but this was when tile guy #2 started laying tile and we had to send him home for the day. He never returned, and tile guy #1 came back and started over.

And lastly, this is our room. Thank GOODNESS we covered everything with drop cloths. There is a 2″ layer of dust on everything! Jeff and I look forward to moving back in! Hotel Mallory has been nice and I’ve gotten used to the queen sized bed, but we will be ready for normal again! 🙂
