Bathroom Bonanza: Days 17 & 18

As I write this, the bathroom is 99% done. All that remains are the accessories: towel rods, toilet paper holder, etc. Unfortunately, they’re on backorder from the supply company and won’t be in until next week. Had I known they were backordered, I would have picked something else. Oh well!

Yesterday, the mirror guy came in the morning (before the contractor, who showed up at 1). I can’t emphasize enough how much of a difference the mirror makes! The room feels so much bigger. Today’s work included installing the shower fixture and putting on the the vanity knobs.

Remodel Day 17
I put in the new shower curtain, rug, and old trash bin.

Note the matching faceplate that I installed!

Remodel Day 18
Shower fixture is finally in! No more raw pipes.

Remodel Day 18
Cabinet hardware. Once he put the door back, I was kinda bummed because our doors are so shabby.

With a mirror that big, it’s hard to take a picture and not be in it. I had to squat on the floor for this one.

    Bathroom looks great! Love the accent tiles and the cabinet fixtures. Where did you get them?

  4. Vanessa Vanessa says:

    Shruti: I highly recommend Tile Creations by Valerie: it’s got loads of interesting tiles! They’re located off Jefferson behind Bill Gray’s next to the Full Belly Deli. :)

    The cabinets are a combination of pre-made cabinet and fabricated pieces. I got them from VP Supply.

    Wow! It’s stunning! Beautiful job!!! I love how even the method soap and shampoo bottle match.

    I have that same shower curtain. :)

    Are you going to have a bathroom warming party? People could bring you fancy soaps and magazines… ;)

  8. Vanessa Vanessa says:

    Kris: Well, I suppose I could have a martini night potty warming. As long as people promise not to really “christen” the bathroom, if you know what I mean. :)
