Just some choices




Just wanted to post some pictures of some of the things we have purchased for the bathroom. I am having a terrible time trying to pick out wall color. I am leaning more toward the Sherwin Williams Arts and Crafts color schemes.

Bathroom Renovation

We are well on our way to our new bathroom. This weekend we put up our temporary bathroom in the basement and started tearing apart our bathroom upstairs. Didn't find much except some numbered floor joists and a beer can in the soffit above the shower that we knocked down. We also went to purchase our bath fixtures and tile. I will post pictures of the tear down as soon as I download them from my camera.

Good News

I forgot to post this but some friends of ours have purchased the old county home that I had pictures of on here. They are going to renovate it to live in. I am so glad at least one landmark in town missed the wrecking ball.

Possible Bathroom Renovation???????






I might have finally convinced Jayd that we really should redo the upstairs bathroom. It ranks up there with the ugliest bathroom in America. We did paint and put a different counter top in about 2 years ago just to make it bearable. I am attach pictures of what I want my bathroom to have. I do have the lighting purchased. I have narrowed down my choices of paint colors from Sherwin Williams historical palate. I also have decided on 2 inch hex tile for the floor and 3x6 subway tile for in the shower part. Walls will be covered in panels looking bungalow like. The pictures attached should explain themselves. Toilet and sink are what I like but not set in stone.
