Completed Bathroom!


I never thought that I would be showing off a toilet on my blog but here I am doing just that! Our new downstairs bathroom has been several months in the making. My husband is responsible for the majority of the work and it was done in the evenings and weekends. He jokes that he should have a blog called "After Quiet Time" because I ask him not to make lots of noise during nap time so he has to hold off on the loudest parts of projects till Penny is awake.

Here is the glass shower enclosure that we were waiting on for the last couple of weeks.

And here is a closer view to show off that tile panel. Doesn't it look a bit like a tile mini quilt? I obviously have mini quilts on the brain too often.

Here is the sink area. I need to find a basket to put under the sink to hold the towels and cleaning supplies. I am having a hard time finding one in the right size and style though so it might look like this for awhile!

And finally, this is the towel wall behind the door. I searched a bit to find soft grey towels to match the grout on the floor tiles and the marble sink.
The best thing about the bathroom won't be fully appreciated for another couple of months-radiant floor heating!
I am so glad that this project is over. We aren't sitting idly though. Our office room which is adjacent to the new bathroom is already down to studs. We were happy to discover a pine and birch floor that we can preserve as well as an old door opening into the back hall that we are going to reopen!

  1. It's beautiful! That shade of aqua is so gorgeous, nice and calm and refreshing, perfect for a bathroom. And that shower is amazing! Lucky you!

    (And I'll be SO jealous of that radiant heating in a few months!)

    I have no idea what radiant floor heating is!

  3. It's gorgeous, like a glam bathroom you might experience while on vacation! I just really love the tile and the color choice, such a calming influence. And the floor heating is going to be oh-so-good for tootsies in the winter time. Enjoy!

  6. The bathroom looks great! I'm kind of jealous . . . we just have a boring vanilla bathroom :-)

    Radiant heat is AWESOME!!! Not that we have it here - ha ha. I got to enjoy it last winter in Virginia on a particularly cold day and I absolutely fell in love.

    I think that a basket under the sink would look great! Maybe you could even make one of those fabric covers/inserts that are really popular? You know, just because you can!
