A little Friday progress


Sorry no post on Friday morning. There really wasn't much to say. But I'm posting some progress photos tonight since people have been asking. Here's the front room. No more floral border. New ceiling, all freshly painted and spruced up. I haven't put all the furniture back in yet, since they are still working in the kitchen.
Looking back the other way. Plantation shutters are on the way for those windows in the back. And... a big ghost orb in the center of the screen. I'm still figuring out my new camera. I've noticed it gets a lot more dust on the lens than my old one.

Another view. I had that hall over on the right completely refloated and painted. It goes to my office and guest room/bath. They had splattered "texture" on it before, and by "texture" I mean it looked like someone coated it in mud and stuck their fingers and toes all up in it. It was lump-nasty. Still trying to decide what to do about that front door.

Not much going on in the kitchen, other than the granite and sink are in. Back splash goes in Monday. I started replacing the door handles on the cabinets tonight. 43 of them. Taking much longer than I anticipated. I think I've done 10 now. Oh, and for my Mom and Karlene - yes, the blue and white wallpaper in the cabinet is on the agenda. That comes down next week, too.

Master bath. Wall tile went in today. Most of it, anyway. Tub is reframed and new fixtures are in. It's going to get a paneled surround. Again, plantation shutter on order for the window. With a super wide frame to make it look bigger.


The new shower. Looks much better than the old one, dontcha think? I'm happy with it. Frameless glass will finish it off. As you can see, I went with marble, rather than travertine. And granite for the border.

My swimming pool. This tub is 5' x 4'. I was lucky to find new chrome fixtures for it. Can't wait to go for a dip.

New granite and - ahem - the wrong sink. They put in the one that came with the granite when I had a fancy one in a box sitting next to the door for them to use. So far, that's my only gripe with the installation. They offered to put it in, but I figured this one is ok and I can return the other for some moola. Cabinet doors are in the trash. Having new ones made that will match the tub surround.

My shampoo cubby.

One last view. No more brass framed glass sliders. I think these are much better. And no, that's not where the toilet goes! It is just visiting this spot for a bit.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
