Master bathroom reno progress

It’s been a long time since my last master bathroom update. That’s because there was nothing much to show you! Not that things weren’t happening, but there really wasn’t much of anything to get excited about – unless reconfiguring the plumbing and electrical rocks your world ;-) But now that the plumbing & electrical are done, it FINALLY looks like some actual progress is being made. WOOT!

So here’s a quick look at what’s been going on over the last six months. Hubby ripped out the floor and walls and re-routed the plumbing. The shower, toilet, and vanity are going in different places than the originals, so there was a lot of new plumbing to do, as well as filling in some holes in the subfloor. The room looked like this for almost five months. Not a pretty view to wake up to every morning!

It was a big week when the drywall finally went up! {There’s Stanley, the site foreman :-) }

Cement board installed in the shower {waterproofing is almost done now}.

Drywall mudded & sanded.

I was so excited to try out the colour I selected for the ceiling, PARA Paints Peaks & Valleys. It’s a beautiful light grey with a hint of bluey-green, but it turned out to he lighter than I wanted.

So I went back to my PARA fan deck and decided to try out Tribeca Square. It’s absolutely PERFECT! The exact blue that I was looking for :-)

I love Tribeca Square so much, I decided to use it inside the linen closet as well.

  

I was trying to choose between a few light greys for the walls, and then I had an Ah-Ha moment – why not use Peaks & Valleys on the walls? Love it with Tribeca Square :-)

I just painted one coat on the ceiling and walls for now – the second coats will go on once all the work that could potentially require touch-ups is done. It saved a bit of work because I didn’t have to cut in, and I was so anxious to see how the colours looked, I didn’t want to wait!

I’m so loving how the tiles look with the wall colour…

I primed and painted one coat of PARA Jo Jo Whitewash on the crown moulding, and hubby installed it a few days ago.

And that’s where stand at the moment. Still do do… install in-floor heating, prep floor for tiling, tile floor, get glass cut for shower, tile shower, install shower drain, install shower glass and door, paint and re-install door & window trim, paint and install baseboard, install toilet and tub, install faucets, build & paint vanity, hang chandeliers, hang mirror and install wall sconces, source Super White quartzite for the vanity and shelf beside the tub… UGH! Still so many things that need to be done – hopefully it won’t be another six months!

Happy long weekend & Happy Easter!
