Bathroom Remodel Update.....

So, we've had more than the usual distractions and obstacles that have been keeping us from completing the remodel of our guest bathroom for the past YEAR!!!!

But

We are slowly making progress.....

The biggest obstacle has been money.....

and

TIME!!!!

But it will eventually get done.....

I HOPE!!!!

We started out removing the existing shower/bath combo
 and
 the outdated tile floor.

Then our friend Todd came by and prepared the pipes for the new tub.
(Thank you, Todd!)

We are going to install an old iron claw foot tub in it's place.

Then drywall was completed.

This picture shows the pipes stubbed out for the tub
 and
 the drywall now in place.

The wood also was being installed on the back wall to give it some texture.

After the wood was installed we painted the walls.

This insert had to be put into the wall so that we can accommodate the claw foot tub.

I'm thinking about doing a decorative mosaic

 or some rustic shelves inside of 

the insert

 to hold some bath salts.

A year ago a friend gave us some rock tiles that he had left over from a job

and we didn't have enough to do the whole bathroom

  so.......

You know me, I'll make it work one way or another!!!!!

So what did I do?

I turned to Pinterest of course!!!!!

 So, we got some ideas together and decided to incorporate it

along with tile that has the wood-look.

I love the way the wood-look tile and the rock blend together!

It's slowly coming together......

Thanks to Pinterest!!!!!

I don't know if I'm going to use this mirror yet.....

it's what I have for now,

 but I'm sure I will be replacing it with something a little more bohemian
 or
 I'll have to mosaic it.

I also have no idea what we are going to use for the top of our table that will house our bowl sink.

We thought we were going to have a piece of scrap granite but that didn't work out
but I do have
a wood top in storage from an old roll top desk that I can re-purpose.....
Hmmm....

Kim and I pieced together this stand that we will be using for the bowl sink.

The legs and sides came from an old victorian table that I've had for years
 and
 some re-purposed  two by fours and some decorative wood that I've had hanging around.

Kim is painting it and distressing it for me.

I love how the stand came out!

It will have a bowl sink installed on top of it.

The light fixtures are re-purposed also.....

So.....

Now if we could ever get that bathtub put in place
(It's in the garage and ready to be installed)

 and

 the toilet and sink installed we will be back in business!!!!

That's with having two bathrooms, I mean......
