Bathroom Makeover

THESE ARE THE BEFORE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been in this house now a little over two years and have updated all of the boring things, wiring, roofing, insulation etc. Now it is time to have some fun!!!

We are starting with the bathroom since it is so small total floor space exluding the bathtub is 25 square feet. We had horrible square tiles, yucky grout, and the best part a wooden window frame in the wall (wood and water mix sooo well together).

Under Construction

Here it is under construction. My foreman Susannah did a wonderful job cracking the whip while I was away and taking pictures.
Here are pictures of the studs, tiles being put up and the new plumbing and fixtures. We had them raise the shower up 6 inches which is a must have for all of us tall guys, huh Beau??



Here they are putting in the glass square tiles we picked out. As you can also see the wooden window frame is gone.

Finally it is Done

Here is the final results. Our bathroom is now finished!!!
Look no wooden window frame! The tile is wrapped to the window and sealed with silicone sealant. See how high the rain shower head is.

Best of all it didn't take three months like some other Nelson Bathroom Makeover projects currently happening.

Flowers

Once again Sooz is keeping up her garden. Here are just some of the flowers in the yard. Bee Balm, hydrangea, lavender and blue oak grass.

Sooz's veggie tales

Susannah has been out in the yard working hard this summer. She planted tomatoes and basil, our favorites for salads later this summer. She also is trying out zucchini plants, leeks and carrots. Here is how they are growing.

Extream Furniture Makeover

These last few weekend have been great with great weather and of course things for me to do. Recently we have purchased large pieces of furniture and have refinished them. Susannah's folks purchased a Secretary Desk and I re did that earlier this month. Last week at the West Seattle fair with Aarin, Jeremy, and Audrey we found a cedar chest and I redid it yesterday and today. Here are pictures of both.

Beer Butt Chicken

For those of you who don't know my mom (marc) gave us this contraption one trip up here. I looked at it like what is this???? They explained that you put a beer can in the middle, place chicken over it and BBQ for an hour. We did just that tonight here in Seattle where it reached a high of 90. Here you go Wats, beer butt chicken.
