Colour palette for bedroom

I was looking at a website today on colour and design and came across this colour palette that I thought would be rather nice for the bedroom.



what do you think?

Backsplash Tiled!

We had the backsplash tiled today. It's not grouted yet, but it looks good.

Counter installed!!

Our Counter has been installed!! here's a shot with the sink on top, though it's not actually installed.

One More

This is our new vanity. the photo kinda sucks, but it looks awesome

Photos of the work

Here are some photos of the work in the bathroom we did.


This is what it looked like right after the floor was grouted. I was a little worried because the grout looked brown, but it was still very wet. Once it dried and cured it looked exactly like what we wanted.

You can probably see, but there's a tile that is right next to the tub that is darker than all the other tiles. I didn't catch it before the tiles were laid so it ended up getting used where you can see it. Luckily once the toilet and door was reinstalled you don't really notice it.



This is what the room looks like now. Baseboards are in, walls are flat and primed, floor is clean and sealed, new toilet is installed.


I painted the pipe for 2 reasons. 1, the previous owner had painted a portion of the pipe and it was a gross yellowish colour now. And 2, since only half of this pipe was painted and half wasn't, and since the pipe would be visible inside the cabinet I figured that if I painted the whole thing white it'd look just a little cleaner.

You'll also notice that there are 4 valves in the wall. This is because they re-piped our building a few years ago and they left the old plumbing in place. It would've been nice if they removed the old valves. I wanted to cut them away but I didn't have a tool that would cut through them, so I had to leave them. Oh well.


Here is another view, showing the new toilet. The original plan was to reuse our old toilet, but the old toilet was next to impossible to pull off, so I was going to just smash it to pieces and buy a new one (they're not very expensive at all.) Well, that's easier said than done. For some reason, the old toilet was very resistant to 3lb hammers. I did manage to finally loosen the toilet and remove it, but not without chipping the porcelain first. I didn't want to reuse a chipped toilet, so I bought a new one. It's a better toilet anyways. The tank is lined (so it doesn't 'sweat') and it just looks a little more modern.

Busy Weekend-Progress!

We are finally seeing progress! The bathroom floors are grouted, the baseboards are on and the walls are primed! Another wall in the living room has been primed as well. For the next few months I think every weekend will be filled with reno work, shopping and planning. On the 19th we are having the kitchen measured and a plan is going to be started for that. We also are going to be shopping around for floors for our place. Exciting!

Toil, toil, toil...

This weekend we are going to be doing a lot of work to our place. We are filling holes in the walls, sanding them down, priming walls, putting on the baseboards and painting them. We are also doing this to the walls in the bedroom adn the living room. Lots and lots of work. Also, we are going to buy the hardware for our vanity so that the cabinet installers can put them on.
