Other than scrubbing a little more grout haze off the floor we are done. (e:Joe), (e:terry) and I did so much work in since the contractors left its unbelievable.

Overall I am really happy with everything. I know its not 100% historical style but I think it still looks classy. I fixed the white spot near the ceiling in the back of the shower since these pics were taken. I live the mirror on the arm between the vanity mirrors. It makes things like cutting the back of your hair or cleaning your ears so much easier.

As I was taking a bath in the warm sun this morning and stepped out onto the heated tile floor, I hoped this is beginning to fixing everything in the house.

I learned a lot from this project. From sealing tile to installing towel racks and hooking up all the compression fittings and drains after we moved the vanity and tub. I also decided that next time I am going to do it myself as I felt the workers were not as carwful with details as I would have been. Like the threshold being too close to the water or tub being pressed right up against the wall for no apparent reason. We also had to dig out the tiles that were hidden under grout before sealing. Basically they saved us a lot of time but at the same time cost a lot of money and worked much more sloppily than I would have.

Now if only I could get over the stupid cold I have.

Apparently they don't work under 70 degrees. I still had it on from the summer.

It looks best from this vantage point!

We went out last night to invite people to our Halloween party. Was a pretty fun night fueled by drink specials.

They came and fixed the remaining issues. They even built and stained a new floor board to replace the one that was missing. It looks pretty awesome now. Now time to take everything back out so we can paint and then hang up all the hardware.

The tub looks great. I am so glad we bought it. Last night (e:joe) and I took a bath in and it was plenty of space for both of us 6+ footers. It was hard to get out of the hot water but the heated floor helps.



I am also really happy with the vanity despite it being the brown one instead of the black one I thought I ordered. The brown is dark enough though and matches the rubbed bronze hardware.



They fixed all the issues I had with the shower heads. There are so many options between the hand held, the rain showers, the standard showers and the jets. Its pretty amazing now like the ones we saw in the catalogs when we first decided to build a walk in multi-person shower.




Another gratuitous (e:lilho) homage
