Master Bath Progress
I met Jason at Home Depot yesterday and we picked up some wood, a toilet and some plumbing parts. He came over and put in my bathroom window trim and sill. Now I just need to fill nail holes and paint it. We got the vanity in and leveled – I love it! I bought it online through Home Depot months ago and haven’t seen it till yesterday – it’s gorgeous! Thanks Jason, xoxo!!! Time to call the plumber – 😉
Master Bath Tile DONE!
Braggin’ Time
Sooooo Jason and Tara are at it again!!! Designing and building! Their new “Ranch” has kind of an “L” shape eat-in kitchen so Jason built banquette for seating & back wall board but then their 4 legged kitchen table didn’t work so he built a new table! Thennnnn they built the mason jar light fixture hanging over it! The navy color paint looks great against that new white window trim. Tara did the burlap cushions and the plate wall is soooo cute! Way to go Bensons! 🙂
Master Bath Progress
I made a little progress in the master bath this weekend. I got all the cement board screwed down to the subfloor and finished painting (well, except for the ceiling). I’ve been told that the cement board is necessary if you want a sturdy surface for you tiles. Some people just tile over the plywood but I didn’t want to take any chances, I only want to this ONE time, LOL. It was like putting a puzzle together and wholly toledo it took a boat load of screws! I love my Ryobi drill. It was part of a combo kit I bought earlier this year and it works like a charm. I opened up a box of my tile, because I couldn’t take it any longer, and laid it out on the floor – loveeeeee!!!!! It’s a wood look porcelain tile by MARAZZI and I bought it at Home Depot – they have several different colors and they all look amazing – here’s a link: http://tinyurl.com/pzwj856 . . . hoping to start the tiling this week! 🙂
Trinkets for My Little Farmhouse
Mudroom is Functioning!
The sink and countertop are in and everything is functional!! I love my farm sink and cabinet. I just added the crystal knobs last night (Hobby Lobby 50% off this week). When I unscrewed the drawer knob I found it had a wood screw – crazy, I’ve never seen anything like it – so cool. I still wanted to utilize the cabinet drawer so Brian used the wood shelf that was in the bottom of the cabinet for the sections in the drawer to make room for the sink drain. He and his wife did all my drywall and he’s helping me do the stuff I don’t know how to do. The countertop is one of IKEA’s in-stock countertops, one slab and only cost $69 (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90276612/) and I found the faucet on Overstock. I’m not going to do all the “finish” details right now because I want to move on to the bathroom and get that “functioning” – I want my tub 😉 !!!
