Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Oi, I think the last post was way back on Nov 7th, quite some time ago. Well, we took a bit of a break for the holidays and now we are looking into starting back up for the final home stretch (pun not intended). Well, I've got a few updates to share about the progress to date. The shower surround is built, in all it's glass shimmering glory. During the day, it really lets the light come in.  The second image is from inside the shower during the day.

We've also painted the separate little 'water closet' room, bright red, we'll see how we like it once we are actually up and running with it. But for now, it's looking pretty good.

 

The french doors and large 'privacy' window 

have been installed and really open up the bathroom with heaps of light. 

We originally requested "rain glass" for the large picture window in front of the tub, and when it arrived we noticed it was actually "privacy glass". I have to say i actually like the look and feel of the privacy glass better. It's much more of a diffused light, which floods in right in front of the bathtub, yet still keeping the bathroom private from the backyard.

We've also had the awning windows placed into the bedroom which is really great. They are high enough to be private, but will again allow in lots of light from the backyard and provide some nice breeze in the summer months. This shot shows the house from the backyard where you can really see the layout of the new windows in the bedroom and the window and door in the bathroom. All of our tile has come in so we are just getting ready for the install of that as well. 

We will be using 1" hexagon on the shower floor and 2" octagon on the bathroom floor with black accent tiles, we are hoping it'll be a pretty clean look together with the vertically stacked subway tiles on the walls. We've still got a plenty to do so please stay tuned.
