ALMOST OUT OF THE BATHROOM: 92.5% COMPLETED

I waited a day to post because I wanted to show some cool “after” pictures of the bathroom.  We spent today getting around to the finish work- we started the day by priming, continued on to moulding, spent the afternoon caulking and finish painting and ended the day by installing the sink & accessories.  Here are some shots as the day progressed;

There are a few items that will need to be wrapped up tomorrow, the most visible being the built in medicine cabinet on the far wall.  As you may have seen in previous posts, there was a built in already installed however it was in poor condition after being repainted and readjusted over the years.  We took out the cabinet and decided to build a new one that utilized the space in a more functional, decorative manner.  We built the carcass out of oak using the same shelf pin idea as the bathroom linen closet discussed in the previous post.  We built paneled doors and, instead of using oak, we are dropping in frosted glass to give it a different look.  Here are some shots of the cabinet and the doors without the glass- the wood will be eventually stained cherry to match the vanity;

Here are some before and after's of the bathroom so far for reference;

Tomorrow we will be doing some caulking/painting touchups, installing a few more accessories (TP holder, mirror, etc.) and grouting the floor at the very end of the day so it can setup overnight.  While the bathroom is completely functional right now, we should be totally out of the room by noon tomorrow.  If we finish with the bathroom at a reasonable time, we plan to start on the kitchen by cutting out half of the dining room wall to create a giant 6’ doorway!
