Upstairs Bath Progress

Here is the upstairs bath in an almost finished state.  The small double headed shower will have frame-less glass doors.  The shower threshold is actually black stone and the floor is similar to the downstairs bath.  It was at Andrew's insistence that the subway tile went all the way up to cover the ceiling and it was such a great idea.  This is just a wonderful room to stand in and it is not even finished!  Plus, the acoustics for singing in the shower should be awesome...watch out neighbors.  

And, speaking of neighbors, they will not be getting a free show.  That window will have a reflective covering on the outside and obscure glass on the inside.  The door sitting in the middle will also have obscure glass and will be the actual bathroom door.  It won't swing in and out, but will slide along a barn door rail system for access into the bathroom.

A Little Bit of Paint Always Helps


Here is an updated photo of the outside of the house.  We painted the shutters and door black and removed the awning over the front porch (and again when I say we, I mean Andrew).  The small awning over the upstairs window will also be removed.  We are discussing what color we may paint the brick foundation.  I vote for charcoal, but Andrew is not sold on it (yet).
