The Bathroom is (mostly) finished!

Here are some photos of our remodeled bathroom and bedroom. There are still a few things to do as is noted in the picture descriptions below.

This is the view from the door to the bedroom. You can see the toilet room door through the main bathroom door. The old closet is now the blank wall at the foot of the bed.

This part of the bedroom is pretty much the same.

We installed these two cabinets from IKEA (our favorite!) to replace the dresser space we lost. They are incredibly functional.

We replaced the switches on the bedside lights with pulls and I made these beaded chains so we don't have to lever ourselves up to turn off the lights at night.

Here is a closeup of the beaded pulls.

The double sinks will eventually have a cabinet built around the base. The new window is my favorite part of the remodel. It makes the area feel very spacious and bright.

Eventually we will intall glass doors on the shower but for now the curtain works just fine.

Here is a shot of the sink area with the lights on. The mirrors are deep medicine cabinets with loads of storage.

Opposite the sink and shower is the closet area. We have a cabinet (recycled from the old bathroom) to install on the right side right next to the tile. Behind it will be an area with hooks. I just finished painting the cabinet and board for the hooks last week.

Here is a look deeper inside the closet area.

Inside the toilet room. You can just see the magazine rack on the right side.
As you can see, we are back in and using all of it even though we still have a few projects left. In addition to the inside work we also still need to redo the exterior around the windows. Only one was new but we also had to move the old window. We are slowly plugging away at all of this. I am also trying to get the yard weeded it. That is something that got ignored ALL winter while we worked on the bath. It is really nice to be at this point--nearly, if not completely, done.
