New Look and More

I'm setting up a blog for a friend of mine and thought it was time to update the look of this blog.  When I started this blog back in 2007, the skin choices were limited.  Blogger has now greatly expanded their choices and I thought this wallpaper was much more appropriate to the style of the house and of the blog.  I hope you like it.  I may be playing around with it a bit more.

While I've been playing on the computer, Tim has been hard at work in the bathroom. The wall behind and around the medicine cabinet is finished and painted.  He hasn't installed the medicine cabinet, yet, but I expect that will go in tonight. 

He finished painting the chair rail for behind the sink and installed it.  All he has to do there is caulk it.  I'm very happy with the look of it.  It's very "finished" looking, if that makes sense!

Tim also spent a good part of yesterday building the new transitions for the doorways from the bedrooms into the south wing bathroom.  The height difference between the bedroom floors and the bathroom floor in the south wing isn't as big as the difference is in the north wing, so the transitions were a little easier to put together. 

As before, he's using the reclaimed wood from the oak flooring we found under the tile in the north wing bathroom to build the transitions.  Here (above) he's grouting the transition against the tile floor.  I think the look is very clean and will keep folks from tripping over the floor!

As I'm typing, he went back into the north wing bathroom to finally permanently install the transitions in that bathroom.  If you remember, we had them dry-fitted to see if we were going to like them.  Since we liked them, it is probably time (after well over a year) to permanently install them.  He's also patching the grout work between the shower enclosure and the neighboring wood closet.  The original grout the contractor put in has pulled away from the wood. 

I haven't been idly sitting at the computer.  I'll post tomorrow on my kitchen escapades!
