one room challenge - week 3: progress

Our biggest accomplishment this week was getting both our shower floor and the remainder of the bathroom floor tiled and grouted. You may have seen on snapchat the hundreds of tiny cuts we had to make for the perimeter of our shower and for the threshold where the tile meets the bedroom carpet. I was initially hesitant about choosing this tile for the floor because I knew how tedious it would be to install, but in the end I think the extra effort was definitely worth it!

We did get all of the baseboards cut and ready to install, but I've been sick since Friday, so that task has been moved to this weekend. We also have both the plumber and fabricator scheduled to come out during week 5. This means we'll likely not be able to get the glass enclosure ordered and installed in time for the reveal on week 6, but it's not essential for the transformation so I'm not going to worry about it too much! This week we'll be spending most of our time tiling and grouting the shower walls – the last major piece of the renovation!

Here is a recap of our to-do list:

  • waterproof shower walls (done!)
  • finish tiling floor/shower floor (done!)
  • tile shower walls and niche (this week)
  • paint touch-ups (done!)
  • install baseboards (this week) and trim (done!)
  • install crown moulding (week 6)
  • install open shelving (this week)
  • install vanity (week 5)
  • install marble countertop (week 5)
  • plumbing fixtures for shower and vanity (week 5)
  • shower glass enclosure (week 6?)
  • put up new mirror (this week)
  • new roman shade for window (ordered)
  • artwork and styling (week 6)
