My wife and myself decided a few months ago to do a little reno in the house....
Game plan was to use the existing cabinets, and a new tile floor and some granite to the kitchen and baths and away we go.
After trying to match everything we made the decision that I would do a bunch of work and step it up a lot.
That was four months ago......
Soooo
I started to make new cabinet doors for the three bathrooms. The kitchen ones will come later.
Walnut.
I have done the demoing, electrical, plumbing, drywall repairs, and painting.
What seemed like a "not a problem honey" has gone way overboard.
We gutted the three bathrooms and tore up all the ceramic tile. It will be replaced with picaso travertine stone.
Tub enclosures have been replaced, as all the rest of the fixtures in the bathrooms.
Ensuite six foot custom shower
The glass doors will be here in 4-5 weeks.
Hallways
We did mozaic tile around all the perimeters.
The boss wanted a vessel sink in the main bath.
Template had to be made for the granite guys for the tap holes.
The granite we choose was called golden thunder.
Our tile setter was in our home for five weeks every day to get this phase done.
He still has to do the laundry room and kitchen but that will be a fall project.
I'm thinking this one is going to take a year..
But it is going to look like a million bucks!!
