We’ve made it to week 4! This update is going to be short and sweet because progress has been made but let’s face it, this is not the most interesting phase of the project.

The marble floor tile is in and I’m really happy with the choice. It feels luxurious and reflects a lot of light which already changes the feeling of the place.

Next, and this is a big one for me, THE WALLS! All of the texture and old wallpaper was removed.

We now have perfectly smooth walls prepped for wallpaper. I love, love, love this change. Even without the wallpaper, things are looking much less ragged.

The electrical work has been completed as well. We added a recessed light over the tub which should make a huge difference for nighttime showering. As for vanity lighting, we are using pendant lights hung from the ceiling; something I’m slightly nervous about, but more on that later.

The red sealer on the shower cement board is jarring, but maybe it got your attention. Sealed cement board means wall tile is ready to go up. We’re entering the home stretch!

Come back next week for a bathroom that will look more like a bathroom, and might even have a toilet in it.
