If you’ve been next along, you’re in all probability itching for an update! Last calendar week I took a hiatus from reno updates to part my favourite tips for choosing the PERFECT bath tile, but I’m dorsum and so eager to present y'all the progress we’ve made!
Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4
Week 5 / Week 6 / Week 7 / Week 8
Week 9 / Week 10 (Final Reveal!)
The 2 chief things that direct keep transformed are the shower as well as the cabinets. Eek! SUCH a huge difference!
Yep… that last past times left film is the earlier pic. I hardly fifty-fifty think that space! After nosotros completed all of the demolition, nosotros moved on to the plumbing. My hubby did an AMAZING labor moving all of the plumbing lines roughly #soblessedtohaveahandyhusband.
We direct keep a beautiful chrome diverter that nosotros are using then that nosotros tin direct keep 1 or 2 of our 3 options on at whatever fourth dimension (body jets, rain head, and/or shower head).
Here’s a closer await at the plumbing for the diverter (above) as well as for the hot & mutual frigidity H2O (below):
I couldn’t wait. I HAD to come across what the rain head, body jets as well as diverter were going to await similar inwards place, then I popped them on, simply to come across :)
We finished off the waterproofing past times tapping all of the seams inwards the waterproofing system.
Then nosotros moved on to tiling the shower – which inwards my persuasion was the MOST exciting measuring yet! We our tiles were 4″ x 16″ – larger than the average tube tile, but OH MAN, does that tiling accept a looooong time. It is boring work, as well as nosotros had 2 people working together! SO proud of how it turned out.
We used our Ryobi moisture saw for our tile cuts. Here my hubby is cutting flooring tile, but it’s all the same! lol. We didn’t direct keep a tabular array upstairs, as well as nosotros genuinely didn’t desire to direct keep to larn dorsum as well as forth to the garage betwixt each cut, then nosotros position downwards a huge waterproof tarp as well as cutting on the flooring of the bathroom. It worked great! LOVED using the Ryobi tile saw – that’s right… don’t mean value my hubby got to direct keep all the fun!
And our instant BIG transformation of the week….
I painted the oak cabinets!! Woodworkers everywhere are cringing correct now… including my husband. I mean value I genuinely caused him physical hurting when I insisted on painted the beautiful oak, but come’on. It reaaaally wasn’t going to lucifer my aesthetic. We couldn’t afford to purchase novel cabinets, then epitome finally won him over.
Our uncomplicated steps to epitome the oak cabinets:
- Remove cabinets from the room.
- Take doors off cabinets as well as take whatever hardware, hinges, etc.
- Clean doors. We unremarkably purpose TSP
to wipe everything down.
- Scuff doors using an abrasive pad. This volition assist the primer stick better.
- Prime cabinets. Our absolute favourite primer inwards this household is Bullseye 1-2-3.
- PAINT! I used Midnight Blue from Fusion Mineral Paint because I’m currently obsessed alongside the beautiful colour!
- Re-assemble. [Optional: beautiful novel hardware!]
to wipe everything down.
The cabinets are covered inwards dust as well as nosotros don’t direct keep a countertop yet, but y'all larn the idea…
So… thoughts?! Let me know what y'all mean value inwards the comments! One measuring closer to getting my bath back!
