Out of commission and some new pix




I will be having my gallbladder out tomorrow so I wont be posting for a while. Here are a few pix of the bathroom as of today. Hubbard squash is the yellow color on the walls and the ceiling is white hydrangea. Both Sherwin Williams color palate. The pix of just white is Jayds scored tile. That will be painted a few shades lighter than the Hubbard squash.

Finally got a sink base that was not broke. Home Depot broke down and gave me half my money back gave me the floor display pedestal and the floor display toilet half off. So I brought the toilet that I had bought back to Menards. So in the end all the hassle was worth it because I ended up getting the toilet I really wanted out of the deal and at half the price.

Scored Plaster to look like Subway tile

Jayd did it again. When we tore off the paneling in our bathroom we saw that we had scored plaster on our walls made to look like 3x6. Well unfortunately we had to tear it out because we needed to insulate the walls and re-wire. Fortunately for me my husband is very talented because he recreated that scored plaster to look like tile on the drywall. Don't ask me how, but he did. It looks like we have regular subway tile on the walls till you get really close then you can tell it is scored. I will post pictures soon.

Bathroom









Not much new. We have the sheetrock up and Jayd has been putting mud on the walls. He still has to figure out the whole scored plaster look we are going to do on the bottom 6 foot of the walls. I am going to post some before and during pix also.
