My first shower (in my home)

My bathroom is getting close. This morning I had my first shower (Yes I've had a shower before.......this was my first shower in this home). It was great. Below is a photo of the painted room. Picking colours is not my strong suit. I hope it looks OK.


The shower fixtures are now installed.


I picked glass doors instead of a shower curtain. I went with clear glass because after you spend that much time installing the tile, it didn't make sense to put in frosted glass or a curtain and not be able to see the tile.

The vanity is in place, now I just have to install the plumbing.

Privacy is sort of important in a bathroom, so I put in a door. Just a few things left to do and then I have finished my first room. Yea! Now I just have the rest of the house to do......

The Bathroom is getting there

The shower tiles are all up. This is a big project with a short deadline. I am trying to get this room done before the kids come up for Christmas......I have a week left.

The two shelves are now up.

Time to start on the floor. The cement board is down.

All the full tiles are in place.

This morning I installed all the cut tiles. It's starting to look like a bathroom. Now all I have to do is grout, seal grout, paint, install toilet, vanity, mirror, towel bars, install door, trim, finish door and trim, christmas shop, clean the house and decorate the house for Christmas...I hope I make it.
