Well... it seems that the original thread made its way to the archives, so I dug it up and here's a link for anyone who wants to catch up from the beginning.

beginning the make-over

Don wanted to finish most of it before he had his surgery yesterday. The only things left to do are the door and drawer fronts of the vanity, and a frame around the mirror. It's difficult to take good pictures in the small distance of the room, so here are the best ones I have - he said he has some, so I'll post more when he sends them to this computer.

The far corner of the tub/shower - see the pillow???
I'm soooooooooo ready to take that first relaxing bath!



Another of the same corner showing the top tile:


The opposite wall with the new brushed pewter fixtures:


Tomorrow I will wash the new towels and add them to the room - got the shower curtain up too - will take more pictures then.

Looks great, Lynne! I know you are excited that it is almost finished...

Dianna

Hey, he's got one of the tiles upside down...
Tell him he needs to get it fixed...


Loooooks great, I'm just pickin'!!!

I need a job done like that on my bath/shower...

Looking great, Lynne...I love the little splash of color with the green tile! Tell him he did a wonderful job!

Looks Good Lynne!!! Is that green more of a turqouise green??
Is there windows for plants??

That is beautiful Lynne! Looks awesome!

He gets a pat on the back what an amazing job! Your so luck to have such a handy guy! I have my brother in law for that stuff. lol

Looking good

wow! Looks great, just needs bubbles in the tub now so Lynne can enjoy a good soak in the tub!

Oh, Lynne, that came out FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Tell Don it looks great!!!

(how did his surgery go??? , where can I read up on that ?)

Thanks, all!
Diane - it's called seagreen - Don had taken this picture the other day - it shows the color a bit better... still a tiny bit off but you get the idea. There is a window at the far end of the room - it's long and narrow - I'm hoping to put up a glass shelf for plants, and there is a hanger in front of the window - not a lot of space, but enough for a few.


He also took this one which shows the corner better than mine...


Just took this of the new shower curtain - it's so hard to take good pictures in there. :rolleyes:


mel - I have only posted bits and pieces about Don's surgery - it's not really in 1 place - I think I'll go post about it in the dial-up deli now - thanks for asking.

Very nice Lynne, you picked a great shower curtain that goes really well with the color of the tiles and stuff. I really like it.

It's funny Triss - I had this curtain waaaaaaaaaay before I chose the tiles!
I had even misplaced it, when Don started tearing out the old bathroom, and only recently found it again - I was so thrilled that it went with the tiles so well!

The curtain looks great! Sorry Lynne, I have not been on much, did not know Don had surgery? Hoping all is well.

looks good, tell don he can come do one for me now

Wow, it looks really great Lynne!

Did you take your bath in their yet?

How cool is that> your shower curtain matched!!

I like that green Lynne

Amy took the first / last night - all seems good! She even went as far as to say that she liked the bathroom now that the towels and rugs are in there.

I really liked that green color too, Diane!
I have 2 different towels that match it exactly - one is called rich aqua, and the other is called Greenwood Lane. Same exact color - different companies.

I took a few more shots yesterday - again, it's so hard to get a good view in a small space.

The sinks before putting everything back underneath and on top -
Don hasn't painted the doors or drawer fronts yet, so they are still open.


Close-up of tiling on vanity counter and sink.
Don got a piece of plywood for the counter and did all the tiling himself -
he did a great job, didn't he???

Looks great Lynne!

Glad to hear everyone likes it

He sure did do a great job. It looks so nice in there!

Thanks Penny and Triss!

Finally got Don to hang a few things for me in the bathroom corner by the toilet.

i love that mirror!

Thanks, Jiffy!
I have 2 smaller ones up above the main mirror -
Don is still going to build a frame around the large mirror.

Here are the 2:

I'm Loving the mirrors too Lynne!!

Thanks, Diane!

A little secret - I found them at 2 different T.J.Maxx's last summer.
Gotta love those stores - they were all very reasonable!

Yep We have a tj max here too I have found many unusual deco items there, But they usually only have one to three of the same item not a large quanity so If I like it I have to get it then because to go back and get it later forget it it's always gone when I used to go back for it!!

Great choice of mirror design

It's lovely, Lynne ~ from start to finish.

Merme

Those mirrors are awesome Lynne!!! Just your kind of thing for sure. Looks good in there!
