So by now, we’ve had a weekend go by along with one day when our contractor couldn’t work due to health reasons.
I really like my contractor. He comes up with creative ideas to help save us money without the project looking “dumbed down.” He also takes much pride in his work.
Day 6 was a continuation of preparing the walls so they could be painted. We decided to use the same color that we have on the bedroom walls and purchased the paint at Sherwin Williams.
Sherwin Williams paint is EXPENSIVE. But, the paint rolls on so smoothly and covers a lot better than other paint I’ve purchased so it normally needs only one coat ~ even over a dark color.
Besides painting today, tiling began.
And, two of the sconces were installed which is when I noticed the problem we were going to have.
There was simply not enough room for two mirrors to go between the middle scone and the other two sconces. It would have been quite a tight fit for sure.
This all came about because our contractor wanted to give me an additional 5 inches of space on right of the lavatory which made sense to me. However, we didn’t realize the problems it would create as the mirrors can’t be centered over the lavatories now. So, we decided to give ourselves time to think about this problem.
On day 7 all of the tile, with the exception of the tub surround, was installed.
We were given strict instructions NOT to enter the bathroom to allow the tiles to set. Seems the contractor meant business!

Things are going quite smoothly.
