We installed the insulation behind the shower install and were then ready to install the actual base. Steven is screwing it securing to the walls.
Shower base install
Bathrooms
Door added to Pocket Door
The door is an original door that has been stripped of paint and restored.
Pocket Door Installation
The bathroom off the first floor bedroom has a pocket door for space saving. We got the framework at a salvage store.
Old-Fashioned Style Bathroom Tile
The lower bathroom floor is old-fashioned black and white tile. The row in front of the shower does not have mastic nor is the tile grouted.
Adding Typar paper to outer bathroom walls
Finally repaired the outer papered bathroom wall since moving the bathroom window. Will need to add siding at a later date
Found Window Painted
We found two slide by windows being discarded. One is in the south bedroom and one is in the water closet. They were dark brown so I painted them both white.
Wallpaper and Paint in the Tub Room
I had found this wallpaper for the tub room at Goodwill. I didn’t have enough for the entire room and decided to paint a wainscot on the lower part. A chair rail will come just under the granite vanity top. The wallpaper is striped rose pattern. I had JUST enough with only scraps left.
Water Closet Medicine Chest and Lights
A Fun Day and a Helping Hand
A friend offered a day of work at Rose Cottage, plus brought a wonderful lunch. The first task we undertook painting the North bedroom windows.
Then Cheryl painted a gold color on the dormer walls and the north wall adjoining the dormer. Looked great.
I started washing windows while Cheryl painted but quickly decided it was too hot and moved on to putting up wallpaper in the north bedroom. Cheryl came to help when she had finished painting. I only had one roll of the paper at the house so we were not able to finish it. I have one more roll at home.
Steven was busy with lights in the two bathroom areas. He changed the way the tub room was wired. To do so he had to cut the sheetrock and redo it with a mesh patch and mudding.
The mud needed to dry before sanding so Steven moved on to the wiring for the light in the water closet. First he needed to install the medicine chest so he could determine where to put the electrical box for the light. We had found this medicine chest that someone was throwing away. I painted it and it looked like new.
What a difference a Day can make!
Yesterday plain walls and today wallpapered and fixtures placed but not installed. I love the wallpaper!
