Final bathroom pics

I am finally getting the last touches made to the bathrooms and getting to posts some pics.  So here is the newly expanded guest bathroom with tub/shower and separate toilet room.  I don't have a picture of the toilet room because there is really nothing to see.  I have been whitewashing a cabinet to hang over the toilet for storage, but otherwise, it is just a toilet.  I found a really cool painting at a resale store that brings together the blues, greens and whites.   You can see in the tub picture that I have changed the bathmat to add green.   .       

 

 

 

For the vanity area, I focused on trying to set things up so less water is likely to sit on the wood. Mainly this meant that I tried to keep things off the counter. I was able to find a hanging cup/soap dish at IKEA that works for this purpose.  And to take advantage of the space beside the vanity I found a hairdryer holster.  I added a small glass shelf to the left side as well. (You get a quick bonus view of one of our new puppies in the vanity picture!)

In the half bath I am trying to pull some yellow around the room.  I added a yellow door pull to the vanity and created some "art" which was inspired by Pinterest.  I'll post details on that project in a different post.

Now that school is back in session I will have more time during the day to finish some of these projects.  The next big one is the new master bedroom.  One of the biggest problems in that room is the ceiling.  The room was expanded to incorporate a closet which had a lower ceiling.  When we added the header to allow us to remove the closet wall we discovered that the closet ceiling actually had two layers, reflective heat barrier underneath drywall.  We have removed the top layer of drywall to make the layers even so now we are faced with either replacing the reflective insulation with regular drywall and texturing the ceiling or we can cover the entire ceiling with a ceiling treatment.  We are leaning toward the later but I haven't found exactly what I am looking for.  I would love to find a lightweight ceiling plank, tongue and groove, that is already primed.  So far I can only find raw cedar and pine.  That would be OK but would take a lot more work to paint.  Maybe if I spray it once it is up, painting won't be too bad.  I'll update as we go along. 

Back to work!
