House Projects

[Halon]

Hey just starting this up, wondering who else has ever remodeled anything in their home, and has pics of it. I took all of next week off from work because I'll be slaving away here at home, redoing the small lower bedroom of my house. Just bought about 90% of the stuff I'll need from Home Depot yesterday, and will be starting the reconstruction ASAP. Here's some before shots.

The bathroom will be getting knock-down sprayed on the ceiling. Then the floor will be ceramic tiled, and ceramic tile going up the wall a couple feet as well. New Sink will be going in. All the trim is going to be painted white. The walls will painted a forest green/grey type color.

The bedroom ceiling is fine so I'm not touching it. All of the trim will be painted white. The floor will be the Dupont hardwood laminate flooring. The walls will be painted either in the same color the bathroom will be, or a deep tan color.

This is my first project with this house, so we'll see how it turns out. Once this is done, there is definately more the house needs, so the projects will continue on!

Well just finished doing the ceiling. I'll paint it later, but got the knock down applied! Yaay!

Looks like a good start - can't wait to see it when it's done!!!

I'd love to re-do some things in our town home, but I'd rather move so I'm closer to work right now...

Sweet love the colors you picked. Not much in the remodeling yet. But I have repainted all but one room in the house. Because the laundry room needs to be remodeled. That is going to be alot of work. New subfloor and floor. Redo most of the water pipes and drain. And maybe run most of the new wireing too.

Good idea Brandon. I should get some pic's of our progress. We are doing a bunch of landscaping outside right now. We have the new laminate flooring for the whole upper floor, are redoing the bathroom, changed all the light fixtures and are doing a bunch more. Now that I think about it I will definitely get some pic's, it will be cool to see the before and after pics!

I don't plan on doing too much this year, still have to furnish the place, but i think that i will start with painting every room, this white matte paint sucks, its picks up every little spec of dirt.

Got started on the bathroom floor tile.

[Halon]

The floor is still about 95% completely tiled. Got the walls about 95% completely tiled today. Waiting to finish off the walls until I get the new vanity in there. Progress is a good thing! Tomorrow I hope to get the vanity in and finish up the wall tile. Also hope to get our notcher in there to notch out part of the door trim. Then we should be able to finish up the floor tile as well. Then begin on grouting it all in. If time permits, I will put the first coat of white paint on the ceiling. I'll also try to go to the store and get the forest greet paint for the bathroom walls, but I doubt I'll get a coat on the walls tomorrow.

One thing I'd do different if I could go back, is I would have gone one tile higher on the walls. We thought that height looked pretty decent, but once we got done, we noticed that it went to almost the exact height as the light switch, so there will be a gap on the top of the light switch cover plate, DOH! Lesson learned for next time! We're trying to figure out what we can to so it doesn't look goofy, any thoughts?

Are you going to do a wood trim above the tile? If so I think it will look fine. If not then just leave it... Get a nice looking plate from the home center. Or do a border like I said. To me it looks fine. But granted the box looks like it lined up with the tile pattern anyways.
