A little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothin'.

You know, nothing ever seems to go as planned.  Poor Jim. From one room to the next.....every day has been pretty much a new adventure.  We went from what we initially thought would be a kitchen completely finished to plumbing issues and then the downstairs bath getting new flooring.

I remember in one blog post saying that the kitchen would have crown moulding the next day....not yet.  I've learned that stuff happens, and you take it as it comes...which is perfectly OK with me.  I like having the downstairs bathroom flooring done just as much or more than I would having the crown moulding up in the kitchen. I like every little bit of progress I see...no matter where it is.

Yesterday I took pictures of the bathroom floor in question.....

Gross....                                                                
                         


 
                                      

                                                                  

It was a total stinkin' mess....literally.

Today the flooring is laid and it's far less stinky. 



I've decided to stop saying "tomorrow this will get finished", however, I can say, "this will get finished"......at some point. I'm not at all concerned with when.

When it does, here's what I'll show you....

A dark stained hardwood floor, white bead board walls, a white bead board ceiling, white trim, a white potty, a white pedestal sink.....the bathroom will be totally white.  Now that sounds really bland and boring, huh? 

Not so....

....isn't this lovely?!

The medicine cabinet?  Recessed....

 
......and costs $250 dollars.  Sorry, but I don't want a medicine cabinet that bad! Jim has the stuff to build this exact frame, except the mirror (that's $15 at Lowe's).  So, our's will be a fake medicine cabinet....with only what you see here showing....which is what you can see showing in the unfake medicine cabinet.  And....see that little latch on the medicine cabinet in the
inspiration bathroom picture? I'll have that in place of the little knob on the costly one.  I'm happy. Definitely.
 
 

The pedestal sink we'll have is slightly different from the one in the picture too.  This is the one I want...
 
I love the backsplash of this one.  The one in the inspiration picture doesn't have a backsplash.
 
 
 
I'm telling you, with the placement of the window and the placement of the 'medicine cabinet' (shhh) in our existing bath, this inspiration bath is the perfect bath to "copy".  Can you see it?
