The bathroom set-up in the master bedroom really is awesome. When we built the house, I didn’t really understand why master bedrooms got so much attention, I mean, it’s our house! We pay the mortgage, we buy the furniture and we buy the ceiling fans that keep us cool. Why do we need to pimp [...]

I have been promising the last pictures of our master bath for a while now, but just haven’t gotten around to uploading them until today. Sorry for the delay. The final step to the master bathroom woodwork was to install a louvered door for privacy in the shower and toilet area. Here are the pictures [...]

I never thought I’d see the day, but the master bathroom is done! The master bathroom jacuzzi tub & vanities: The master bathroom “His” side: The master bathroom “Hers” side: We bought the jacuzzi tub well over a year ago and have proceeded to move it around our little construction mess for this long, so [...]

Remember back in February of last year, when we finally found and ordered our awesome mahogany interiors doors? Well, after a year of Stefan calling the door store and being told that the doors arn’t all in yet or to call back when someone spoke English or that some of the doors we ordered will [...]

Are you afraid of electricity? Probably not, especially if you have only flipped light switches and plugged in blenders. Well, when I decided to tackle the task of finishing up the bathroom downstairs, I suddenly got a little nervous. I guess 110 volts isn’t going to take me out, but I learned my lesson about [...]

It’s time to get the sinks for the master bathroom, since we are getting close to finishing up the master bedroom and bathroom. We decided that we want vessel sinks, like we put in the guest bathroom, BUT we want the master bath sinks to be porcelain as opposed to glass. The glass vessel sink [...]

Our sexy techno bathroom now has a sink. And it even works! Stefan decided that he wanted to try his hand at plumbing and installed a pedestal sink in our downstairs bathroom, so we picked out a Kohler sink from Home Depot and a Pegasus faucet in brushed nickel. Installing a sink seems like an [...]

We have so many projects going on in this house, that it seems like nothing ever gets done. It’s way too easy to get side tracked, which is proving to be very counter-productive. Stefan and I talked about this and we have decided to focus on one room at a time, in order to stay [...]
