Full speed ahead!

I can't believe how much we have got accomplished
the laundry room flooring is done with trim and all :)
 
Oh check out the neat washer-dryer stand we built
now we can say we have tried everything from masonry to carpentry :) 
 Here is Miki posing with it...doesn't it look gorgeous it even has molding! 
Next we have to finish patching the ceiling and painting the walls
then the cabinets can go in :)

Don't worry we haven't forgotten about the master bath
our paint arrived...
 
 So that went up on the wall :)
 The vanity is also in place and ready to connect the plumbing next
Looks awesome!!!
 Now comes the tedious part
clean-up...
we got to get our master bedroom from looking like this....
to this.... :)
Yup....wish us luck for the final push to get it all done

Just 7 weeks to go before the baby gets here....yikes!

Master Bath Part 1

BEFORE
Grant took out the toilet and we took off the tiles
when we first moved in
the toilet is now in the tub :)
The bathroom is not going to look anything like this when we get done :)
 The vanity and mirror...has to go too
 So for some reason they have ~2.5ft between the toilet and the tub,
but only ~1ft between the toilet and the vanity :/
we might get a plumber to give us an estimate on what it will take to move
it to the right about a foot or so
 So not contemporary...
And so it begins...
 
 
Yaaay!
Then we took off the drawers and doors...
 Then the counter top came off...
 
 
Challenge #1...
turns out that the water inlets come in from the floor instead of coming in from the wall :/
we were hoping to re-use the cabinet but we might not do that anymore
will take it to the laundry room instead.
 
 And so we tried to cut it out...
first we needed to take off the drawer channel and support
 The cutting...
 But it just could not be that easy/simple
turns out there is a kick plate at the back too :/
so this is where we left it for now...till we can figure out what we need to do

On an exciting note...we bought tiles for the floor
not sure if you can see the color - it is a light tan/white porcelain
this is just a sample we decided to go with a 12"x12" size

Oh and we have narrowed down our vanity to either this...
 
Or this...
We love both of them
Which one do you like???
you are just going to have to wait and see what we pick :)
