So many updates, so little time! Happy belated 4th of July! I was out of town all last week (hence the light posting), doing a 5-day road biking trip with my dad (like last year), was at the Bay house with my family for the 4th of July, etc etc etc. Now that I’m back in the saddle back in M’ssippi (and the renovation nearing the end), I have lots of fun updates to share!
Here’s a little sneak peak of how the second bathroom is shaping up…
some black & white hex floors
The wall tile is installed and grouted…
i just love the stained glass window in here!
I’m not sure if you can tell, but I went a little off the beaten track with the tile in here! Instead of doing a standard 3×6″ subway tile, I did alternating rows of 3×6″ with 6×8″ (both off the shelf from Lowes). If you watch Sarah’s House (probably my favorite HGTV show), Sarah Richardson did a similar tile treatment in the “low bath” of her mid-century modern renovation. I just thought it was fun and different and thought I’d give it a whirl! Here’s what her version looked like (using squares instead of rectangles):

And here’s a close-up of mine:
kinda different and fun tile work!
More updates to come!!! (I can’t keep up!) They’re spraying the kitchen cabinets tomorrow, finishing our master closet, sealing the master bathroom floor, and finishing the floors of the master bedroom and living and room. So close to done! Just in time for Husband and me to paint (yes, we’re painting everything, oy!) and move out of our apartment by the end of July.

Almost done? And we are just seeing the 2nd bathroom? How about you just set up a web cam (is it creepy that I just suggested that… I swear it’s just for the sake of renovation-peeking) so we can see it all? I can’t WAIT to see the rest… and good for you guys for painting. It’ll be a lot of work but worth it in the end…
We have been waiting anxiously for your new post! Everything is looking great– love the tile in the bath. Now hurry up with another post!
I really like the tile pattern. It’s so different, but somehow it evokes a feeling of yesteryear (lol…i dont think i’ve ever used that word before). I love all the renovation updates!
Love. LOVE! I adore white tile in bathrooms – it looks so clean and timeless.
