The Bathroom Build Continues






Here we go. Another weekend working on the bathroom. Jon carried the pedestal sink upstairs and to amuze me he set it up so I could see what it would look like. I like it lots.

I put a second coat of black satin on the 6 drawer high boy and Jon drilled the new holes for the crystal drawer pulls I found at a neat shop called Embellishments. Next weekend I'll have an opportunity to start hand painting the high boy.

A place in the bathroom for the handpainted dresser




This is the spot where the handpainted dresser will sit on the right. I've been looking at light fixtures, but haven't settled on anything yet. I mentioned to Jon I'd like to have two sconces instead of one bank of lights above. He kind of a winced when I told him I wanted to change the lighting.

New bathroom upstairs - March 2009


Here are more photos of the beadboard install in the new bathroom upstairs.
We have a couple options to finish off the beadboard. I like the idea of capping it with a larger board at the top, then running a narrow shelf (rail) around the perimeter.

Installing Bathroom Beadboard - Mar 09


Jon worked on the bathroom this afternoon to install the new beadboard. Right away things are looking good.
