Shower Glass - maybe early October

Shower glass takes 2-3 weeks :( . This is our temporary shower curtain. Works well enough. Ed is so clever.

Bathroom Cabinet


This is from Restoration Hardware. I finally got all the bathroom stuff back into the bathroom last week. Now I need to shop for some better looking baskets.

You can also see the tile on the floor really well in this picture. It's been scrubbed and sealed now and it's beautiful! I'm really happy about the choice of limestone here.

The tub has been in since 9/16. We've been enjoyed the air bubbles!

New Laundry Closet

I stripped the wallpaper, primed, and painted the closet. Ed and I moved the washer/dryer set from the basement to here. We finished the weekend after Labor Day.

Wall Paper was structural


After pulling down the pink striped wallpaper, much of the ceiling plaster came down with it. Ed got an opportunity to learn how to patch large holes in plaster. He did a really good job. Good to practice on a closet first!

New laundry closet

A while we are at it project... Since the plumbing was going through this closet, we decided it would be really nice to move the washer/dryer from the basement to this closet in my study. Electrical was added as well.

Well, before we move in the washer and dryer, we decided paint and shelves were in order so I just spent the day unwallpapering (hint: fabric softener + water melts wallpaper glue). There were 2 layers on the bottom half and 1 on the type. Nothing but plaster underneath, which is good. The bad news, however, is that some of the ceiling plaster was being held up there with the pink striped paper. So Ed will repair that today and maybe we can prime it tomorrow and paint it Monday (that's what holiday weekends are for, right?
