Bathroom progress

There has been a lot of progress, especially since I added more jobs for Mike than originally planned. 

You know how one change brings on another change and before you know it you have the snowball effect,  Yep, that's what happened!

Everything we originally planned or purchased has changed, colors, design, vanity cabinets, shower doors, and the list goes on.  I can only imagine what Lowes and Menards think when we walk in the door..."Well here come the Fritschle's, let's see what they are returning today."  Maybe when we leave it's, "We'll see you both next week when you return what you just purchased." 

There are still plenty of things to do but, as you can see from this picture, the tiling and grouting are done. Hooray!! 


Now for the snowball effect...
I've never cared for the type of trim we have in our house, so I talked Mike into letting me have an oak pocket door and oak window trim in the bathroom.  Then one day he asked me a silly question.  "Would it look better if we change the trim on the window right outside the bathroom door too?" Ummm, Yeah!  Did he really think I would refuse that offer.  And Honey while you're at it, I would like new oak baseboard in the bedroom to match the oak window trim.  While you're at it you might as well change the trim on the other window in the bedroom to match.  "You know Honey, I would really like to paint the bedroom and make one wall an accent wall."  I have such a wonderful Husband!  Check out the new paint.

Check back for the final makeover.

Looking awesome! Can't wait to see everything finished and put together and in person. Does the darker color have a grey tone to it?

Yes the base and seat have a grey tone. The border did too until they grouted it and turned the natural stone brown. :( Apparently they should have put some type of sealant over it before they grouted. Oh well, what's done is done. Even though it doesn't go as well as it did, it's not that bad. I can't wait to use it!
