We have been renovating our main bathroom for the last 3 months.
Just the two of us.
Well, mostly D.
I make sure that he is fed and well caffeinated.
And I help where I can be useful, which truthfully isn't very often.
But I try.
This is what our bathroom looked like when we bought our house 4 years ago.
It was functional, but not very pretty.
The previous owners had done some, ahem, work on it which involved a lot of caulking and some very questionable plumbing.
So we decided to do this.
That my friends is a gutted bathroom.
If we had the bathtub installed, I would be soaking in it, instead of lying on the floor wishing I was soaking in it.
A lot of work and sweat has transpired over the last 3 months and we are creeping towards completion. D and I have been tiling for the last few days.
Subway tiles look spectacular.
But man-o-man they are labour intensive to install.
So many little tiles.
So, so many.
But this is how things look right now, this very second.
The toilet will sit in the left in this picture, the pedestal sink in the middle and the cast iron, claw foot bathtub will be on the right.
Look at all of those subway tiles.
Sheesh!
And just look at this lovely, heated, marble floor.
Pure luxury and a fine upgrade from the ugly peel and stick vinyl floor tiles that were on the floor before.
And this is our shower.
It is on the wall opposite the toilet and sink.
And look at all of those subway tiles.
We decided to take a break from the endless tiling in the shower area and focus on getting the tub, sink and toilet installed.
We are nearing the end and with any luck we will be soaking in our beautiful tub this weekend.
A perfect way to spend Valentine's Day if you ask me.
