Slow but some Progress

The new sink and faucet arrived. It's very cool. Cooler that I thought it might be.  Here is a peek at the new faucet. It's just sitting on a old wine box in the garage.


Tammy's been updating the walls with new fish, some shells and starfish.  We looked to install the medicine cabinet and well. It just doesn't work. In order to look good it's has to be put up so high that it's useless. So now what?  We are thinking some shelves instead of the medicine cabinet.
 

The walls look great.  Even after we caulked. OK, for anyone who doesn't know this... caulking sucks. Plain and simple it just sucks. I hate it. End of rant. 

New List of Things left to do:

  1. Molding around the new floor tile and the wall tile. 
  2. Caulk the tile, tub and toilet.  
  3. Check the vanity top to make sure it's smooth. 
  4. Install the vanity - cutting access holes for pipe.
  5. Establish the layout of sink.
  6. Install the sink and faucet. 
  7. Find some shelves and install in place of medicine cabinet.
  8. Put up the shower curtain. 
  9. Decorate with tray and knick-knacks we picked up on clearance at Pier 1. 
  10. Stick a fork in it - cuz it's done.

The NEXT Project: Bedside Tables

Maddie requested a table for next to her bed. So "she could have a place for her clock on top and a shelf below for storage." I found an awesome site Knock-Off Wood that had a free plan for a table just like it and it had a drawer as well.

While We Wait...

The sink will be here in 4 - 9 days. It's being shipped UPS Ground. So a little more detailed work has been done. It's the basis for the color selections. Using wall art from Tatouage the room now has a whole new look and feel. The art make the wall color pops!

Change in Plans

The vessel sink we got for the bathroom didn't fit with the faucet we picked up on Craigs List. On to Plan B. Ebay had a package vessel sink, faucet, drain combo - for about what we paid for the sink and drain. This is what it looks like.  The faucet it funky.
