Hi.
I realize that the title says week 6 but it has technically been 496 weeks since the last update. I won't even go into all the life that happened in between. What is important is that we are back and I want to update you on this beautiful project because we have another huge one coming after and I feel like 2026 has re-awaken my creative juices and has me wanting to write and share again so I am going with it. I will work on some blog posts on life but first Zev's amazing bathroom! SO we left off sharing the floor the tub and all the fixtures we went with! SO... here is where we are!!!!! In order of coarse! and technically it took us 12 weeks not 8 so I will share it in order and share where we ran into issues!
The next step was the tile that Zev picked out! It was a beautiful hand made italian tile so it was uneven but not a problem. We wanted to do a herringbone not only becuase we love it but we have herringbone wood flooring in the bedrooms so to carry that story... I wanted the grout to be as THIN as possible....THIN.....and here is how it turned out.
I mean. It looks good here. But let me tell you..I shed a tear...a lot actually...I know not big...but with everything going on in my life this felt like such a disappointment. I have 1 son...maybe my only child...and we had a vision...and this WAS NOT IT. Daniel talked me off the cliff and we moved on to keep the project moving. It just is showing too much white and not as much blue...but it will be fine this is a seperate room and I had an idea for the vanity area that would make me feel better More importantly ZEV love it! so there is that.
THEN...haha The plumbers installed the shower head and tub faucet and well haha do you see how close together they are? Its funny becuase the next bathroom will be so different as now I know what I need to micro manage but its fine...it looks really pretty and I LOVE the shower head it is amazing! so A+ there
Let me remind you of the vision....
See how the grout is thin on that tile? I mean I probably could have gone with a different color grout but at this point it is what it is.... Some things have changed from this mood board.. lighting some art wallpaper etc
So next was the vanity placement so we can start on the tile here!
When I say it fit perfectly haha I was nervous as we were bringing it in!! WOW We mad a few trips for some floor trim... We are not going expensive here...
See the wall..well this house was built in 1963 so they were not straight. We paid guys to do the dry wall and make the walls straight . When the tile guys came out they literally laughed at us...The wall wasn't straight and $1200 later Adam had to do it himself...yep not me no way haha So 2 weeks went by cuz Adam isn't a dry wall guy and produces movies haha he finally was able to get it done beautifully I might add... and we began to work on the vanity!
It is seriously so pretty...go WestElm... I am so glad we went with this one!
This is in Acorn the exact wood Zev's crib was so that was also special!
When I say it fit perfectly haha I was nervous as we were bringing it in!! WOW We mad a few trips for some floor trim... We are not going expensive here...
Well...NEXT I will show you how the tile in this room turned out and we have a door folks! haha Stay tuned for next week...and random days I am excited to be back and writing!
