Bathroom Renovation: Day Gazllion

Well, it seems like a gazillion days have gone by since we started this project. Or at least a thousand.

Initially it had been one setback after another, until we got the "bones" fixed, and then started on the cosmetic. The end is in sight, and all that we do now provides an instant visual gratification. Laying tile was exciting, grouting was even more exciting. I skim coated the walls, and that was very gratifying, as it provided a light and airy backdrop for the bathroom-- something that the cement board did not provide. I am removing traces of grout from the tiles tonight, and patching the holes in the ceiling that remained where we removed framing. After that, I will prime and paint the walls and ceiling, and then put up the wainscoting. As soon as the wainscoting is trimmed out, then we can put the fixtures back in. We are hoping that it might be Thursday, but realistically it may be Friday. And dammit, I have reserved the bathroom for about a 90 minute soak and assembled the necessary accoutrements for said soak (in Kismet fragrance, thankyouverymuch)!

I imagine the soak will come even before the final touches are put on the room!

I am continuing to document with photos!
