As luck would have it, we picked out our tile design for the hall bathroom about a month ago, and now that we are ready to move forward with the project Home Depot decided it was time to discontinue the mosaic we had picked for the tub area. This is the first time in our life we have picked blue tile--the first time we have picked glass tile.....and that we are certain is the reason it was discontinued. So, in an effort to keep the project on pace last night we hit every Home Depot in Davidson County that had any left and took all of it. This morning Joel tackled Sumner County, while I handled the two in Williamson County over lunch. As I write this, Joel is on his way to Wilson County to get the last remaining 3 square feet that will give us enough to finish our project. Thank goodness we live in a metropolitan area with a dozen or so big box stores, or we would have to do an 11th hour re-plan of everything because the tile guys got ahead of schedule and gutted the bathroom completely yesterday.
As a reminder, this was the "Before" photo of the bathroom:
And now, on to the gut photos---the cabinets are still installed in these photos, but came out today. We were slightly appalled at the hideous wallpaper on the walls that was uncovered when we removed the backsplash. Apparently at one time this room had blue stripes on the wall with orange fixtures...I am seriously thinking the former owners were colorblind.
A Redneck Frontyard at night :-). Actually, Joel and I can't help laughing that even though we got a construction dumpster the guys working on the house are taking every single thing they remove home. Our dumpster is virtually empty.
