0304DropCeilingOut2.jpgWe removed one of those awful drop ceilings made of fiberboard squares.
You can see where the old ceiling was installed from the paint line.
Previous owners had painted over the lovely cedar logs. UGH!!! |
0304StrippingPaint.jpgWe tried hard to restore the walls to the original cedar.
After stripping twice and then sanding, we gave up and repainted. Bummer. :( |
0404New window subfloor.JPGThe window will eventually be inside the shower,
so we raised and enlarged the original opening and
installed a Milgard vinyl awning window. |
0404Skylight Transom Window.JPGTo let more natural light in, we installed a Velux skylight.
The stained glass transom window was a great find at a recycled building supplies store. |
0504May9Framing.jpgSince the walls are solid cedar, we had to frame in a false wall to run electrical and plumbing. |
0504May18Drywalling.jpgRoger finishing up the dry wall. |
0504May13TileFloor.jpgStarting to see progress. Walls are repainted. Shower pan and hardibacker are in. Tile floor is done. |
0504BaseCabinet2.jpgBase cabinet in place. Red wall color is Ralph Lauren Balmoral Red color matched in Benjamin Moore paint. |
0504ShowerWalls3.jpgShower wall installation begins! Amber Fantasy granite slab walls. |

0504May28BathroomPendant.jpgAnother view of the pendant lighting. |
0604June3ShowerInstall.jpgShower floor tile is in. Still some bracing around the window.
The white "stripe" along the left side shows how out of plumb the wall is. UGH!
Nothing is straight or level in this house! |
0604June3VanityCounter.jpgCountertop is in. |
0604AmberFantasy.jpgAmber Fantasy aka Juperana Rockford or Lady Dream. I just love the colors and striations. |
0704BrokenShower.JPGDisaster strikes! Custom 3/8" thick tempered glass shower
door panel explodes in our hands for no apparent reason.
Manufacturer finally agrees to replace under warranty, but
I am no longer sure frameless glass shower doors are a good idea. |
0804AlmostDone2.jpgStill waiting on the replacement shower door,
but almost everything else is done.
Artwork is being rematted. Can't wait to move in! |
0804AlmostDone.jpgAnother view, Toto Ultramax peeking out from behind the vanity. |
0804CounterSink.jpgDifferent view of the vanity area. |

0804_0993.JPGI am so frustrated with Holcam Shower Doors!
In this picture you can see just how far
outside the track the inside door is when open. |
0804_0994.JPGMore HOLCAM Shower Door problems. The outside door drags
(even adjusted as high as possible) and is so warped it drags
against the inside of the frame. We're afaid it will result in
another "exploding shower door" incident. |
