Nothing but paint left

Well, aside from paint, our bathroom is finally done. Here's a photo. It's a little yellow... the lights are a little low-powered.

Next up

This weekend we will probably hang the mirror for the bathroom and install the wall sconces. That should pretty much do it, except for paint. We'll probably end up painting next weekend.

Also this weekend, hopefully, we'll move out desk out of the "Dining area" so we can take care of the last remaining wallpaper. I've got to pull up a couple tiles in the kitchen to see if they'll come up as easily as the bathroom tiles (I have my doubts.) We may do a bit more shopping too, I'm not sure yet.

We've ordered the kitchen cabinets, so those should be installed at the end of May. The cabinet maker is bringing us a sample door with the colour we've chosen next week so we can make sure the colour and style is what we want. We've gone with a shade of white called Chantilly Lace, a Benjamin Moore colour. The counters have not been decided on yet, but we're leaning towards a black granite. The new cabinets will go all the way to the ceiling, unlike the current ones. This should give us about 18 inches of storage at the top and make the kitchen feel taller. As well, we've added on about 18 inches of counter space, and we'll have under cabinet lighting. We haven't figured out what the backsplash will be, but it'll probably be some form of glass tile. So it should be quite nice when it's finished.

We've decided on a medium-dark floor, somewhat of a coffee colour, maybe a bit lighter. we haven't quite found the exact floor, but we will soon. We'll probably have that installed in May, once the kitchen tile has been laid.

Sink

Today we are having the plumber come in to install our sink. It's been about a month since we have had a sink in there. I didn't realize how long we have been without one, but I guess it's been awhile. It will be nice to brush my teeth in the bathroom and not over a pile of dirty dishes. I can't wait....

Gettin' Stuff Done!!!

The bathroom is almost done! On Saturday we will have a plumber in to hook up the sink (a pipe needs to be cut), and then the mirror installed and then the lights. Then we get to paint and finally (and this is the best part)...put up the towel bar. We have been without a towel bar for about a year now...

In addition to that, we will order our new kitchen in a couple of days and should take 6-8 weeks to be installed. Before the kitchen gets put in we need to tile the kitchen and dining room floor and possibly put in the new floors for the rest of the place.

Exhausting, never-ending, but worth it:)
