I see the vanity expanded into the old shower. Where is the new shower?

You can see some of it here.

Yes, tile side Is attached to cement board.

Thx - I've only seen green ones here for some reason.

You are getting close!

dad911 06-27-2020 06:37 PM

Green is moisture resistant, purple adds mold resistant. We typically do whole bathrooms in purple, with cement board in the shower/bath area.

dmcummins 08-13-2020 01:09 PM

Still things to do, but getting closer.

I’m thinking about putting a large screen on the family room wall, I’m looking At the ultra short throw projectors. We are still trying to get organized so we will be replacing some of the furniture and figuring out how we want things. Still have some trim work and blinds to put up, only big thing left is the shower in the spare bathroom. I removed the old tub and going to just go with a tiled shower.

We also haven’t decided what to do with the doors, the wife wants them stained a darker color, I’m thinking it would be a lot easier to paint them white.

The living room, dining room, and bedrooms all have the same flooring and wall paint. I also need to get the garage organized so I can get the cars in there.

Why be like everyone else?

I agree, the brick looks great. I think stuccoing it over would really make the house plain.

When the time comes, just put your furniture by the curb and you will get the opportunity to meet Baz!
House looks great! Boat looks amazing! I like the brick too.

I think you're ready for guests!

All looks great. But I think the oak colored doors in the kitchen look out of place with the rest of the decor. If I may suggest, try white doors. I think it would look better with the grey, white, stainless, and black theme.

We are not done with the doors. Wife wants them stained dark, similar to the front door you can see in the pic, but will probably end up painting white.

That’s looking great!

Compromise and stain them with a whitish pickling stain.

I saw the front door and that too would give you the contrast in the kitchen. You could go to home depot and get a cheap door and experiment. White/light grey on one side and dark grey/black like the front door on the other side. Flip it around to fill the hole and see what you like best. Then you can use the cheap door as a work surface in the garage.

Also, where are the cats? You need a couple cats and I can help with that. I have 2 Thailand Burmese neutered males that need a new home. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge.

BTW, the new kitchen lay-out is much better than the old. Appliances within easy reach of each other and just a step away from the island, dishwasher, sink. Much better than the old layout. Tell the kitchen guy "good job".

Ended up painting all the interior doors white, except the front door. Also getting closer to finishing. Still have a fan to install in the family room, a outlet or two to add. Also need more power to the dock, I have underwater lights still to install. Also waiting on new blinds for the family room.

I’m sure there are more things on the wife’s list, but that list never ends.

Here is a pic of the guest/pool bath. You can’t really tell from the pic, but it’s 5’x 2.5’. Originally there was a steel tub there.

The tile guy wanted a little over $3,000 to tile, not including the glass door. I did it myself for around $1,500 including the door.

I've seen (and thrown on) enough stucco for a lifetime. Have you considered decorative stone or hardwood? Even veneers would be better than plain stucco.
