For the last few weeks I've been consumed with bathroom renovations. I'm taking two bathrooms that were very outdated - even further back in time. These photos from Cote Sud are my inspiration. I'm doing all the finish work, plumbing, etc., which leaves little time for blogging or anything else for that matter.
Because we had already gutted the bathrooms and replaced walls etc., I thought I could whip out this reno in just a few weeks. Slipped my mind that I'm no longer 25! Everything is taking much longer and I'm exhausted at the end of the day. I'm not sure I will ever be able to get all the Sheetrock and plaster dust out of my hair.
This is the first project on one of our houses that I'm totally responsible for. Jim just doesn't have the time to deal with it and I've always wanted to do this. I've made plenty of mistakes hanging the drywall and taping it. American Clay Plaster will be the finish coat. It allows for a not so perfect finish on the drywall - which is the look I'm going for anyway.
I fell in love with this Botticelli Carrara Marble sink for the Master bathroom. That will have to wait.......................................
As will the polished nickel Bistro faucets from Restoration Hardware.......................
For the main bath - I'm going with this sink...........................
Snow Canyon Porcelina plaster on the walls, plaster floors, Farrow & Ball French Gray on the woodwork, stone counter tops and backsplash and Venetian Bronze fixtures.
Meanwhile - We make do with a half bath (of sorts) and an outdoor shower.
Good thing the house is in a moderate climate!
