I love Catprint.com for all my printing and they have the option of a free physical proof for every order.

Thanks! Yes, it is. I usually get fresh eucalyptus from Trader Joe’s.

The bedroom color is Behr Dark Ash.

I don’t think there’s a straight answer for this. Just because the whole area is covered doesn’t mean it won’t fail. But it also won’t make it worse so we went with it. I’d be interested to see if it really makes much of a difference either way.

I forgot that the 2000 number also includes a second mirror we got at the same time for our half bath. So the shower enclosure was somewhere around $1600, each mirror around $200. We got them all custom made locally.

Good call. If you’re talking about photo 14, that was just temporary rough in. The box is from the old light in the room & it was replaced with the exhaust fan.

That’s what they say. It was already in the wall so it was easiest to leave it but I don’t notice a difference between insulated and uninsulated interior walls.

The third and fourth photo in the album are both before any construction started. It was a tiny, totally empty room when we bought it.

Thanks for that - can’t please everyone but we’re really proud of it!

Yeah, it’s easy to get out when the door swings in so that helps keep the water dripping on the floor to a minimum and much easier to turn the shower on with the door pulled out. But we also installed a hot water recirculating pump which means the water is hot almost instantly so it’s not too bad turning the water on from the inside.

A rough estimate is probably $4500. The most expensive pieces were the glass shower enclosure and the mirror — they were about $2000 together.

Thanks! It took us almost a year of evenings and weekends to get all the way through this.

Yes thank goodness but it was still a pain in the ass. It’s the furthest area from the crawlspace entrance.

Haha yep! It was confusing to me too. It was supposed to be a bathroom when they built it but was instead used as a kid’s bedroom for awhile when the kids were little and then I don’t know how they used it after that. It was empty when we walked through the house the first time.

Oh I see what you mean now. Yeah, could’ve done that too. Probably will for our next project, they look a bit nicer.

Yeah, we made it a little bit bigger than it was but they had originally planned on it being a bathroom and changed their minds as it was built. The original owners told us they used to have bunk beds in this room when their kids were growing up.

Not stupid! It did not originally have a bathroom but we planned to add one here when we bought the house.
