Refinishing the floors and kids shower.

I haven't posted in here for a while. A few months ago we finished our wood floors.  It's the first thing I wanted to do before we moved in but didn't get a chance. The last couple of years we have gotten several quotes and was going to have it done.  But the thought of having to move all the furniture on the first floor and to be gone for days nothing seemed to work out.  So we decided to do it our selves one room at a time.

The kitchen was the worst room! I hated looking at it and it always look dirty :(
So to work we went!

Look how great they look already!!

Yes we took turns but I did most of the sanding with the big machine. Jeff did the sanding around the edges.

 Don't they look good!!

 Look how great my family room looks now.  I love how warm they make the room feel. Our next project will be on the back wall.  We want to make lockers for the kids.  We don't have a mud room and we need something that will hold all their school bags, coats, shoes and everything else. But I want it all to be hidden so you don't have to see it all.  So stayed tuned for that :)

 This is my living room which is finished but you can't see how great the floors look with the rug but I wanted to protect them and I love having rugs define the space.

 Here is the Kitchen and I love it so much.  The floors are a warm color and hide all the dirt.

 This house is coming along room by room and we are almost done!!

Jeff also finished the kids bathroom. I painted and fixed it up a while ago but we never did the shower. So after he finished our bathroom we decided to do the kids bathroom shower also.  I love my new shower so we decided to use the same tiles. It turned out so good!!

 I love the huge shower head. I am also in love with the glass accent tile.

 Well stayed tuned for the next project! Thanks for visiting :)

Master bath is finished!!!

We have been working on our Master bath for a while.  With Jeff working out of town all the time it's hard to just be able to work on it on Saturday.  He took off a couple of days during spring break and we got most of it finished.
Here is the before pictures.

 I really don't like plastic showers....

We started working on the the shiplap walls first.

I painted them white and then distressed them. I love the look of them...

Next is the tub.... I really didn't like the tile on it and I thought it would be easier to just cover it.  I also really like the look.

 I love how it turned out.. I painted it a dark gray. The white tub pops off the gray.

Next was the sink vanity and removing the builders mirror. When we moved in it was pretty rough and had no knobs on it.

It turned out so good.  I bought clear glass knobs for it. I found the mirrors and lights at Home depot. The cute rug I got at Home Goods and I already had the basket.

Next was the hardest the shower.

 

 Jeff getting it all measured out!! There was a lot of steps to it.

First framing it in for the concrete backer board. Then he put in the plastic shower liner.

Framed in the shampoo holder and got all the concrete board up.

I wanted him to add a little seat so I could shave my legs.  Then he put a rubber sealer on all the seams.

 He poured the cement floor and made sure it drained toward the center. It's called a quick pitch. He put in a new drain also.

Finally it was time for the tile and pebble flooring.  I love the colors of the decorative tile we used.

 Last was the glass shower door.  We had to special order it from Lowe's and I love it. I don't want anyone to use it because I don't want it to get dirty lol :) We had to seal it and wait for 24 hours so today will be the first time anyone can use it.  I can't wait.... Shower or a hot bath??? both sounds good to me.  On to the next one.
