We almost get the house back
Well, the bathroom is done, but we're having all the carpets cleaned in a hour or so, so ALL of our furniture is piled up in corners of the house. The cats, as you can see, do not approve.
Even Max cannot cheer them up - perhaps because his teeth have him looking a lot like David Letterman in this pix.
So here's few snaps of the new bathroom - we had it stripped to the walls, a couple of which then proceeded to fall apart. We moved everything but the tub, but the tub itself is new, and deeper. We saved and re-used the countertop, which longtime readers will remember that we had made a few years back. The walls are a really light slate-like light blue. This is the view from the door - our house is WAY too small for me to be able to get the whole room into a shot with a standard lens. The windows are new too.
This is the shower/bath. All tile with a cool rock/pebble texture band. Our contractor cut in a soap storage area which you can see to the left.
So that's it then. It's pretty nice. A contrast to be sure with the rest of our hose which was originally built in 1928 and has been updated in a rather homebrewed fashion between then and now. But, as we were doing this project we also replaced all the doors, and so for the first time, after living in our house since 1997 we have actual doors with knobs and latches that shut and stay shut.
