AFS here! just checking in after a few days of silence. I only have a few days left of maternity leave, so I am busy cuddling sweet Vivi and trying to get a few things done before I go back to work.
Remember back in the beginning of NOVEMBER when I posted about our bathroom remodel? Welllll, it is still going on. We are in the home stretch. For all you runners out there, I like to think that we are at mile 20 of a 26 mile marathon. Only 6 miles to go, but from what I hear those are the hardest.
So far, we have done the following:

For all you runners out there, I like to think that we are at mile 20 of a 26 mile marathon. Only 6 miles to go, but from what I hear those are the hardest.
So far, we have done the following:
- completely demo'd the bathroom
- removed the subfloor and replaced floor supports
- installed new shower plumbing
- put in new subfloor, drywall and concrete backer board
- put in a new tub
- put in a new vinyl window
- closed up weird jack and jill type entry into the man room (now the bathroom only has access from the master bedroom)
- installed new glass tile in shower and new ceramic floor tile
- installed new toilet and vanity
- painted walls
- installed new crown molding and shoe molding
So what's left to do?
- install lighting and vent fan
- touch up paint on walls and crown molding
- paint the vinyl window trim
- install shower and regular bathroom fixtures (toilet paper holder, towel rack, etc).
- install glass shower door
It has been an exhausting process, especially with a newborn, but we are almost there. The Knight is amazing, and has done almost all the work himself. Since I was either in the late stages of carrying Vivi or recovering from my c-section, my contributions have been solely idea/consultation and design. I LOVE our shower tile - a little jewelry for the tiny shower packs a lot of punch!
Enough blabbering. Here's what you really want to see...pictures!
So far, our bathroom has gone from this (bye-bye ugly pinky/taupe sink, tub, and vanity made for oompa loompas):

I'm impressed! If Air Traffic Controlling doesn't work out for The Knight, maybe he can get a show on HGTV!
