With a torn up kitchen and yard - we decided 'oh, what the heck - let's tear up the master bathroom too!'. Man, what were we thinking?!? Our house is falling apart!!!

Seriously, we knew this was going to happen and so this past weekend we cleared out the master bathroom and moved what we needed to the 2nd bathroom upstairs and then threw out everything else.

When I left for work this morning our bathroom was cleaned out and looked like it did the day we moved into the house 9 and a half years ago. But it was time to finally finish the remodel in this room. Gary and I did most of the work about 6 years ago when we tore out the pocket door that separated the double basin sinks from the toilet and shower. At that time, we ripped out the carpet (yep, carpet in the bathroom all the way to the shower) and replaced that with the 'French Quarter' tile that we have ordered for the new shower. The logs that we added to the bathroom will stay and our new vanity cabinet will be made out of a knotty pine to match the logs.


We are putting a black honed counter top with two black granite 18" vessel sinks on top. It should look pretty nice when it is all done. But right now - here is what it looks like.

Nothing much is planned for Tuesday, but on Wednesday Ideal Building will start to back fill the garage foundation in preperation for the next stage of our exterior remodel.
