da life

It is amazing what a difference a pro photographer makes.  Thanks again, Jim Whetstone, for these amazing photos.  The floor is regular Home Depot marble and my glass stripes.  I had to fill underneath so the glass and marble are level, or close enough for me.  Everything difficult in this makeover was done by a contractor that I highly recommend, Vince Musser.  He removed everything old and prepared all the subfloor etc.  All I did was tile over everything.

Yeah, I DO enjoy soaking in this tub.  I feel pretty darn spoiled in my tiny bathroom.

The mosaic behind the sink is mostly mirror but it reflects the blue tub surround.  The sink's counter top is a trip because it is made with all kinds of neat stuff, covered in resin.  The leg is from a covered bridge!  This is da life.

When I install something in my own home, I think about resale.  I really do.  I wanted to do my tiny bathroom entirely in soft greys, but have a way blue glass sink.  THAT would be the cool feature in the bathroom.  I started on the floor.  No problem there.  I used $4 a square Home Depot marble tiles and added my glass.

Then I started on the tub surround and got about this far and began thinking that I have to live in this house till I sell it.  

That could be a long time.  So thoughts about neutral colors are set aside when I saw this glass.

This needs cleaned up quite a bit, still has spacers in, and it gets a grey grout like the floor.  But you get the idea.  There is a tub under the newspaper and blue tape.  Tomorrow, I start the sink.  WOOHOOOO blue!
