I mean for part two . . . part two.

So . . when last I left you I had wrapped up the backer board and I was waiting for the tile master to show up and put up the travertine.

Before they got here on Friday, I painted the ceiling and the walls just to make it a little easier in the end. It’s prreeeetty . . preettyy green.

I think I’m ok with it. I don’t think it will be as powerful once all of the items are back in place. And really at that point it will be too late to do anything about it . . so that’s my way of not doing anything about it.

On Friday, Tony sent over a couple of guys and they started hanging some tile. I dropped in during their lunch to snap a quick photo.

They wrapped things up around 8 Friday night with the promise of dropping back by on Sunday to grout things in.

Before they got back, I was able to attach the new light fixture, which was a nice change of pace from my texture-covered lamp-without-a-shade. It’s all about having the right tool for the right job.

The plumbing fixtures are going to be satin nickel, and the light fixture’s no different.

Sunday they came back and grouted the travertine in. Tonight they came back and sealed everything . . which brightened up the color quite a bit.

I’m thrilled with the final product. If anyone needs a tile guy . . I’ve got a phone number for you.

He’s a ‘rock’ star. Get it. Cause it’s travertine.

I know what you’re thinking. Wow.

Whatever.

It looks very long and skinny in the pics, but not as bad in person.

Next will be cutting and nailing up the base that’s already painted in the garage. Then the vanity, toilet, cabinet and details.

Might have it wrapped up by end of the week? Might not. Who knows.
