we have known for a long time we would be doing this remodel- hence the
ultra tacky hallway wall etc- forgive them
This March is an exception though...not only do I have all of the above, but...we are remodeling our bathroom/hallway/closet and our whole house is a mess...full of old bathtubs that need to be moved out, sheetrock that has been removed from the closet that will soon (how soon?) host our first ever shower! See, in our little farmhouse bathroom (always an after thought back then for those hard-working, Norwegian Bachelor Farmers- no lie, Noble was a NBF until very late in life when he married Edna), had a bathtub under a slanted roof that could hold no shower, our sink had our one and only closet (in the whole house) behind it and our hallway is exceptionally wide with a great South view.
So we removed the sink, gutted the closet and are tiling that to be our new shower, a clawfoot tub that we harvested from an old house last year will go in the same place as our old tub was, and our new Buff colored concrete countertop that is hosting the hand painted sink I picked up in Sayulita, Mexico last year is under the window with the Southern view in the big hallway. It is spectacular...or will be when it is done. In the meantime, we are tip toeing around the mess, and bathing/showering at Theresa's (our exquisite neighbor). Deep breath....
All natural slate tiles covering the bottom 4 feet of the entire bathroom (this view is where the clawfoot will go) and these same tiles will be the walls for the shower.
