Vision Manifests In Its Own Interesting Fashion

We are now smack dab in the middle of two bathroom remodels at the same time. One is winding down, the other in full swing. It is fun....and dusty. I actually really like these types of projects when I get to come home and see the progress every day. Here are last night's photos.

Starting at the top, this is back to the master bath---the shower faucet is now installed, and looks great.  It is a small shower, so we did a big wall mounted rain shower style head.

 I saw the granite slab Joel picked out for the first time.  He did good.!  It looks beautiful. 


Another angle on the granite and tiled backsplash:


Closeup on the granite:


This is the Master Bedroom, just outside of the bath.  It has gotten more than its fair share of dust during this remodel. Friday we sold the queen size bed that was in this room via Craigslist, and this weekend we are hoping to get our furniture moved up and start using this room as our bedroom.


On the way to the hall bathroom now, This gorgeous huge piece of technology is actually her shower faucet.  It is a column mount with 6 body sprays, thermostatically controlled water temperature, the shower head, body spray and tub spout.  I may occasionally have to sneak into her bathroom for shower:


The bathroom floor before did not have hardi-board in it.  The tile was actually installed direct to plywood.  We are getting everything done correctly, and fully mold-proofed.

The tub is set, and the hardi-backer installed around the entire perimeter of the tub:


Another shot of the bathtub:


A wider angle shot showing the hardi-backer improvements ont he floor.  You can see the sink and toilet plumbing, which we redid freshly with new copper.

The hardi-backer floor as you enter the bathroom:


This is the glass tile that will be in the shower surround.  This is what we had to go all over Nashville for, but we got everything we needed plus 10 square feet of overage just to be safe.


Looking down at the tub--I asked Joel to make sure he got an extra deep tub, since I find trying to soak in a shallow tub to be completely miserable.  We ALMOST went with a jetted tub, but decided to go for depth over jets and got a 19" deep garden tub for the room:


Here is our mountain of tile for the hall bath---the install started about 30 minutes ago.
