Remodeling, Week Whatever

Sorry I haven't posted house photos for a couple of weeks. My mother visited for a week to help us unpack, and then my beloved gooseneck Mac finally died for good, and I was without Internet for a while. But I'm back! And I have photos of toilets!



Most of the initial work on the rest of the house is done, leaving us with the bathroom. Mario put up greenboard on the walls, making them a beautiful purple.



Then he mudded them up.



Finally, the shower was tiled! We went with white subway tile and a band of blue glass that matches the floor.





Next Andrew and I primed the walls and Mario put in a new window.



We still have to paint the walls and ceiling, and then we'll be pretty damn close to finishing our first stage of the renovation. More photos soon.

Weep not! It will live on as our backup hard drive! P.B. will never die!

Umm, "P.B."?

The bathroom tile and flooring looks very similar to what we did; we managed to get hold of a large batch of multi-colored tiles and interspersed them on the floor. When the tile guy was about to start on the walls, we had him do a row of colored-tiles near the break line.

Lovely! I can't wait to see it!

Very classic shower. Just one thing: Don't forget the towel racks!

Our bathrooms still have none. Why? Because they're so badly designed there's literally no place to put them. I kid you not. And note this: This house is thirty years old. There have been no towel racks in the bathroom for thirty years and three prior owners.

(I will soon be removing the wall-length mirrors. Oddly enough, that will make some room for towel racks and shelves...)
