Paint And Tile In The Bathroom

We are on a roll with the bathroom.  Last week, we finished out the ceiling.  While the texture didn't go quite like I thought it would, what we ended up with is much better than the old popcorn ceiling.

Once the ceiling was done, I got it painted and it was on to the walls.  I got the primer as well as two coats of paint up on the walls this weekend.  We went with a cool gray color.  The gray pulls a little blue, but overall I'm pleased with the color.  

 We are still working on patching up where the old light was. 

Once it is patched, we can paint the area and hang the new light. 

Once the paint was on the walls, it was time to put the tile up.  Open a box of marble tile, and you will realize how different each tile can be with the coloring. We laid out each wall so we could play with the tiles a bit and get the colors to flow just right. 

 One wall of tile laid out on the floor. 

 First two levels of tile up!

We ended up deciding to purchase a tile saw.  We figured out the number of times we would have to rent it and how we would have to plan out the project, and opted to purchase a tile saw.  We purchased one from Lowes for $90.00.  The saw had good reviews online, and worked well for us so far. 

 

While this post with the bathroom update isn't a long one, I feel like we are really starting to move along on the project.  Andrew will be able to put another couple of levels of tile up this weekend.  We will also be able to finish patching around the old light, paint, and hang the new light up.  By the end of the first week of June, we hope to have the bathroom complete. 

While I was waiting on ceiling texture and paint to dry, I also worked on my office makeover. I'm still working on a few items, and then I will do my office makeover reveal.  Here is a sneak peak.
