Details large and small

While the master steam shower doors are still not in yet, lots of other details large and small are being attended to. Powder room is just waiting on a marble backsplash (made from a remnant of the old master bath countertop---just about the only section that didn't have a crack on the underside!); boys bathroom still needs an adjustment on the glass shower door, but is essentially complete.

As usual, I have photos---please excuse any construction stuff in the background and I also apologize for the ever-present layer of dust.

The AC return was moved from in front of the powder room door to the side here

New floorboards, I may put a small rug here

We changed the door swing out into the hallway because of tub placement, seems to work just fine

New soaking tub

A good combination of modern and vintage lines

A train rack will go on this wall to hold towels and my robe

Nice hand-held shower. That button just below it opens AND closes the drain stopper

Closet hallway with new pocket door separating from master bedroom

Soapstone counters from Bucks County, mirrors are cabinets

New sinks and cross handle faucets

Water closet, also with pocket door

Lower half hold steam generator for shower, upper half for storage

Toilet and new window (smaller than the old one)

So that's where we are in the master bath---pretty close to the end! Hopefully in the next week or so I will have final pictures for you-----but don't hold me to it!

Thanks for reading!

Peacock Feathers and Calypso Blue

Greetings and Happy New Year! Sorry it has been awhile, but I have some good photos and a lot of progress to share.

The boys' bathroom is 99% complete---the Cambrian Black counter tops will be installed later this week and then all will be complete! We finally got our awesome 3 foot Kohler Brockway sink and cabinet delivered and it looks as great as I hoped it would. (Sorry about the bad lighting in these photos but I think you get the idea):

You can also see our new built-in cupboard in the mirror; there are about 5 or 5 pullout drawers in there.

The faucets come with the sink and are a mixture of stainless and chrome finishes; all other fixtures and knobs are chrome.

Now two can brush teeth at the same time!

The master has progressed much quicker than we expected, given the size of the room and the fact that it was a total gut job. Bathtub and toilet need to be installed and we are waiting on the glass doors for the steam shower. There are, as usual, other little detail jobs that also need to be completed, but those are the big ones.

Kind of hard to see but these are the new linen closets; used to be open shelves. Now the left side is for hanging clothes and the right side has adjustable shelves. Upper portion is just a big open cabinet for comforters, etc.

Revealed chimney. Cabinets were built by Amish craftsmen who don't use electricity or telephones (except 30 minutes per day!). They even needed a driver bring them and the cabinets on installation day!

The mirrors next to the chimney are actually medicine cabinets! The color on the top of the wall is Benjamin Moore Peacock Feathers; cabinet is Calypso Blue. I don't remember the color on the bottom part of the wall---oops.

With all the color on the walls we kept it simple in the shower---white subway tile, a black hex border on the floor (there are black hex triangles scattered on the main floor, sorry they are not visible), and soapstone on the bench and shower entry.

Large shower head; you can also see the controls for the steam shower lower left. Also jets in the middle.

Another view-- near the floor you can see where the steam will come out.

Hopefully I'll have more to post soon---thanks for reading!
