House Projects

Yes. The bedroom and bathroom are together. I just first focused pretty much solely on the bathroom. Now that it is just about done, I will be starting on the bedroom. The bedroom should go much quicker as it is just tongue and groove flooring. The install should be much easier/quicker then tiling the bathroom was.

Very nice man, I need to buy a house.

Started painting today. Got the bathroom ceiling painted. Got the bathroom trim painted. And got the doors painted. Got all the carpet pad off the floor, as well as those little tack strips removed. Just cleaned a lot of that up since it's getting close to the point where I'll start putting down the bedroom floor. Tomorrow I hope to get the bathroom walls painted, and start painting the bedroom trim.

The color I ended up going with in the bathroom actually didn't end up being green. It's called Harvest Brown, a color by Behr. Here's a picture of someone else with the walls painted this color, with white trim also.

I'm still debating if I should use this color in the bedroom also, or do a real light green/grey in the bedroom. It's a smaller room, with no windows, so I've heard that I don't want to go too dark.

Blah blah blah, talking to myself ;)

Paint is still wet in the pics, which is the reason for the glossy appearance. The actual sheen of the paint is eggshell.

Only thing left is the toilet, and hooking up the plumbing to the sink. Yaay!

Looks good! I like that color alot actually, matches the tiles nicely!

I do agree about the color. Nice work B. Hey did you also get all the staples up too? When I tore up the carpet in my house. They stapled the padding to the floor. That was a pain in the ass to do. The wood floor's are easy to install. Just make sure to measure twice cut once!

This is actually the bottom floor of the house, so it's cement underneath. They used some sort of glue to keep the padding on the floor. I don't think staples would have worked to well on the cement ;)

We just got the door put on for the bathroom. Had to buy new door nobs as the old one was falling apart. $4 from Lowes. That's like a sore dick, you can't beat that shit!

One thing I'm considering is that with the door all white now, it will get dirty very easy. Maybe in the future, I will do like the other people did in that picture I attached, and paint the door to match the walls. But for now, white will stay.

One thing I don't understand, is why the floor grout has gotten so light in color. It was much darker before. It's still fairly dark on the walls, but on the floor it has gotten so white. Kinda bugs me.
