Bathroom Update V

We have had a busy week. It seemed like the bathroom remodel was slow, slow, slow but then once all the plumbing and tile was in it flew by.

During the last update I shared that the plumbers were here. 

It took about 7 hours for the plumbers to move all the supply lines and hook up the new pressure valve for the shower.

The tile guys met the plumber here Monday morning to look at the position of the tub so they would know where to put the shower pan. It is all a tight fit and the whole thing made me nervous just like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. 

That is for my sister. ;)

Tuesday they added all the concrete backer board and built and poured the shower pan. 

Wednesday they tiled the shower

Thursday they tiled the floor.

Friday morning they grouted. 

The tile guy said it would take two weeks and it only took one.

As Bill said, "They under promised and over delivered."

It made me so happy!

Now it was our turn to crank it out.

Bill and I got to work as soon as we ate dinner Friday night.

He went to Home Depot for supplies. 

I covered up all the new tile and got up on the ladder and started scraping popcorn off of the ceiling. 

As soon as that was done I rolled on the new paint.

( I have no pictures of this because it was horrible and I was very crabby.)

I had paint issues this weekend. The first one was with the ceiling paint. I bought Valspar. It goes on pink and dries white. Well I have to say I didn't love the product at all. It was steaky and thin. I had to keep rolling on more and more coats. I should have gotten to Sherwin Williams.

The next morning I did all the cutting in of the ceiling paint. 

At this point I still thought I would keep the Sherwin Williams Stamped Concrete color. 

I love SW but I was a little frustrated that they discontinue colors and paints so often. I had Stamped Concrete for about 6 years. I needed to do some touch ups so Bill got me more paint. The new color didn't match the old color because they changed formulas and it looked a little greener instead of blue/gray. So in order to touch up, I had to repaint the whole wall. That is what I was doing the day I found the mold. 

I had two walls that were the old color and two walls that were the new color. I was trying not to get any paint on the two walls that were the old color but the ceiling paint was so thin that it dripped like crazy. Now I had to repaint the two walls that were the old Stamped Concrete. Since I didn't love the new Stamped Concrete I went to get new paint. 

Ay yi yi!

I finished painting the walls Saturday night. The new color is Gray Screen. It is a light blue/gray and very pretty.

(and I have a whole can of the same formula to do touch ups.) I chose this color because I wanted a light blue that reads grayer rather than baby blue. 

Sunday morning I got up and started painting the trim. 
White Duck by Sherwin Williams. 
It's what I have been using for my various paint projects.

It will be my new trim color throughout the house once I get motivated to start painting doors.

 Bill spent all weekend fixing sheetrock, cutting trim for the baseboards and making the surround for the tub.

His millwork on the new windowsills is amazing. We had water damage where the windows leaked.

He picked out the trim. I love it!
  Poor thing, he had to make several trips to Home Depot for the right supplies. He worked like a trooper and by Sunday night we were both exhausted. My legs ached from climbing and up and down that twelve foot ladder. 

The plumbers were here this morning installing all the faucets. :)

This afternoon the glass guy comes to measure for the shower surround.  

I will be fluffing and staging and then it will be time for the reveal!
Here is a sneak peak.
