Week 4 Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge Allergies and Tile Saws

Hello! Oh. My. Goodness! Week 4 has brought its challenges and a whole lot of progress! Allergies and tile saws are the focus of this week. Odd? Yep, read on.

It is always fun to discover that what you thought was just a ragweed allergy is actually a severe dust and mold allergy per the doctor. So friends, even more reason to wear a great mask during the demo, allergic reactions can put a kink into your plans.

Now that my PSA is out of the way, let’s take a look at what’s going on around here. The shower walls have been bathed in red…but not in a “Psycho movie kind of way”, more in a “water will not seep behind the tile and destroy my house kind of way”.

Super big confession… I did not get a hi-resolution photo of the red walls – so this is my bad interpretation, HA!

Here is my quick Ipad photo I took.

The tile saw has been working over time. Tile is up in the shower and it is some kind of pretty, my friends! I learned that I am not a fan of the manual tile cutters… I will take my ornery old tile saw.

The old saw and I are not on speaking terms right now but I am hoping we will come to an agreement soon. Purchasing a new saw is kinda out of the question right now. Thus my very straight forward title of allergies and tile saws. HA!

I am gaga over the large rectangle tiles, so much so that I spent hours trying to match veining.

Floor tile is going down and it is really livening the space up!

I couldn’t stand it and had to see the new wall color….totally changes the whole space!

Take a look for yourself!

Can you believe???

I found a solution to my issue with the large(ish) door going into the shower/toilet area. First I thought about a sliding barn-style door but felt that the vanity area was already pretty narrow and the door and hardware may make the space feel tighter.  Then I thought about a sliding pocket door but that option was out of the timeframe and budget.

Finally, I landed on the idea of turning bi-fold doors into mini split doors. I will have them up next week for sure.

The new vanity is being built; I redesigned the inspiration vanity photo to better serve our space. Very excited to show you all its hidden storage potential!

So, what’s left for week 5?

Here are a few of the items on the list!

• Days upon days of caulking
• Everything standing still gets painted
• The vanity wall will be tiled in “Heirloom Blues”
• Countertop installed
• Electrical outlets restored
• Plumbing/sinks/toilet set

And that’s just the stuff off the top of my head… I do have a full list…somewhere…I promise.
