Tiling is happening. this is Barbara's floor and wall tile...
Barbara's shower floor
My floor tile...
My shower wall with a piece of re-purposed granite from the old kitchen which will make a shelf dividing my shower cubby
my shower...next comes the trim...you will have to check back to see it.
the laundry room was supposed to be a butter cream yellow but a little mix up with the paint and we opted to use what we had plenty of...same as the family room
this is the butter cream yellow we put in the office. there isn't a great deal of light coming into this space so we thought we would brighten in up with yellow
more butter cream...
this is the claw foot tub bathroom...a cool pale blue
different lighting makes it look darker but it is a cool blue. it is only painted on the top half of the room as the bottom half will be bead board wainscot...moving right along!
