Week Six | November 2 | Mid Modern Bathroom
For the Fall 2022 One Room Challenge we are taking our guest bathroom down to the studs and starting over. This project is LONG overdue, and we can’t wait to get started!
Be sure to check in on all of the other ORC projects on the ORC blog here.
Big News: a plumber came! Finally!
That shouldn’t be big news, but evidently there is a dire shortage of plumbers in the Denver area, and it took nearly 3 weeks of delays before we were able to get someone to come and do the work. And we do not do plumbing work. That’s the realm of licensed pros, so it was worth the wait to have someone come to do it right.
So, what did they do?
First, they moved the plumbing for the sink. We had a counter-mounted faucet before , and now we will have a wall-mounted faucet. They also installed a new diverter for the shower. The old one was incredibly persnickety and would only turn off completely in one very particular spot — so this will be a significant upgrade!
But all of that happened on Monday! Now we have to wait for the drywaller to return to finish his work, then it is on to tile and wallpaper.
The end is actually in sight, but are we going to make it by the deadline? I honestly don’t know. So much of this project has been beyond my control between my family getting COVID and then not being able to get a plumber to come… I’m not one who manufactures drama and suspense for the ORC. We are genuinely in a place of not knowing when we will cross that finish line. So stay tuned!
And here it is! Cleaned, shined, and sealed. I am in love!
Wallpaper from A Street Prints with tile samples from Modwalls. They are all layed out inside the bathtub. I love how the greens work together!
