Update Time #2

the Dude abides, Nixon bowls.

the new media room, without the old door.

destruction.

Destruction of the old office, preparing for the media room.

the "office" when we moved in, complete with second front door. This was our first project, removing the front door, all the wood paneling and creating our media room.

the guest bedroom.

our new master bedroom, there were no windows when we moved in, we added three awning type windows.

master bedroom, with "his" and "hers" closets on each side of the bed. Actually we don't have a bed yet, so still sleeping on the floor. You actually step down into each closet side. 

Master bedroom. the cubby in the corner with the dresser is actually the location where the old shower stall was. The old master bathroom came out to about where this chair is. We removed the entire bathroom and added in our master bath suite off the back of the room. The windows are crank out awning style, I love them.

Our Ikea cabinets in the bath suite. They are actually kitchen cabinets which stand a bit higher than normal bath cabinets. So far we are really pleased with the quality and finish.

Michelle doing some finishing touches on the seat in the shower. Cutting the tile for the seat was not fun and well, I did my share of wasting tile getting the perfect cuts, but it was worth it.

Our shower controls in the new shower, one controls the overhead rain shower, one controls the hand shower wand, and yes, you can have both of them on at once. I never thought I'd want two showerheads, but the wand will make it really easy to wash the shower down or possibly a dog if we ever get one. The rains hower, well, that's purely just cause it's awesome.

the rain showerhead and light in the angled ceiling.

the view of the shower from the backyard, through the french doors.

the Kohler tea 4 two tub with the 3-form resin surround. We still need to install the surround, hook up the plumbing fixtures tile around the surround, then finish the floor tile up to the tub. There will also be subway tile up the wall to just above the light switch. It will run along behind the sinks as well.

looking towards the sinks as you step down into the bath from the bedroom. His and hers sinks. There will be tile along the backsplash up about 12 inches. Then we will have a single mirror that runs the length of the back wall between the sinks. All cabinets are Ikea, including the large double glass door cabinet, great for towels.
