bathroom renovation: day four

When I stopped by my condo to check on the progress of my bathroom renovation on Friday, I was very pleasantly surprised! Things are moving quickly and the work should be done soon. Unfortunately, the marble for the ledge in the shower is still a big ol' question mark. I haven't heard an update yet as to when they'll be able to find the piece they need. I hope it's not two weeks as I was originally told. I can't go two weeks without a working shower! So, here's how things are looking: The ledge has been tiled and looks great! Now, just to find that piece of marble for the top. I wondered why we couldn't just continue the subway tile along the top but once it was explained to me, it made perfect sense. If you tile and grout the top and water sits on that ledge, it will eat away at the grout. So a solid piece of marble to match the floor is a much better solution. Ah! Makes perfect sense. At this point in the renovation, this is the picture that thrills me most! Here you can see the new tub, tile and polished marble flooring, all from Home Depot. My old bathroom had tile baseboards (ew!) but the new baseboards and painted walls look fantastic. Out of hundreds of paint colours to choose from, I settled on Elusive Blue (D51-1) from Olympic Paints and I'm thrilled with the results. It looks a bit bluer here than it does in person. It's actually a bit lighter and really picks up on the grey in the floor tile. Today, the toilet, vanity, medicine cabinet and mirror should be going into place. I'll provide an update tomorrow!
