We are getting our hands dirty with grout. Our funny Norwegian painter, Tom was surprised by all the molding we had including bookshelves and didn't want to do it so we helped. That job is a pain! Cody and I stayed up late working one night but there is still more to do.
Here is a current look at the outside.
The master shower in progress.
Another outside shot.
There are boatloads of pics like this one my phone as I shop around looking for things I need.
Another one of the outside, really? I think I went through a state of shock when I would arrive or leave my house so I would stop and take a picture. It's crazy to see it like this after so many years!
More shower progress:
The inspiration pictures I taped to the wall to show my awesome tile guy, Roberto who speaks very little english.
Trying to decide if all the "venetian bronze" shower parts I order match. They don't. But I don't think I have time to care. Hopefully I won't regret that decision for years to come.
Snapshots of items to sell on KSL. A constant in this process was buying and selling on KSL. Kind of a chaotic affair but totally worth it in the end.
The quartz slab I picked out for the new bathroom downstairs and it will also be a threshold and pony wall cap in the master shower.
This is the quartz for our island. It looks similar to the one above and they are but not as close as it looks. The little specks are not as pronounced on either one and the bathroom one is more white. The island is more creamy. We remodeled our kitchen just over a year ago with no expectation of this addition happening so soon so trying to coordinate with that granite has been tough. I have used all remnants to stay in the budget, both this time and when we did the kitchen, so that gives you less to choose from. I'm crossing my fingers it will all work.
Master shower coming along! (no grout, no floor)
A fave part of the new house.
This is our family room pre-paint. The brick wall is parallel to the bookcase and the stairs are behind the bookcase.
Office entrance
Pantry
Protecting the brick wall.
The reality of how this process has affected us. We have Christmas presents, boxes of shower parts, mirrors, packing to leave for California, laundry: both clean and dirty, blah, blah, blah... It's killing me.
The grout beginning just as we were heading out the door to CA.
And the paint, too.
There's Tom.
We'll see if we can get this thing buttoned up by the end of January. It's hectic but I want to work fast and get it done!
