Black and White Master Bath Progress Pics

Image
It’s been an exciting week at my house!  My tile contractor started last Tuesday on the master bathroom and it’s been fun to watch the process and progress.  And it’s really been fun to not be doing the work.  It was 4 years ago that my dad and I were knee-deep in this house renovation all during the summer and we worked like dogs getting this house done in 6 months enough that I could even move in.  That’s not including all the other projects we have done since then, getting my house to where it is now. On that note, I was happy to hire this one out. It was way over my dad’s head and mine and we would not have been able to do it all.  A bathroom requires someone who knows what they are doing, so I got a recommendation from blog friends and came up with a guy who I called and he came out, gave me an estimate and I hired him to start.  I had to wait over a month to get him here, but the day finally came last week. I will share his information with you later, because I’m very happy wit...

How to Make a Relatively Sweet Shower – Cheap

Image
Our new shower – for the duration of this trip So the Mustache family is now happily living in the little vacation suite I built for us with the indispensable help of my friend and host Johnny Aloha . There are still some finishing touches to add (including paint), but for the most part everything works now. The nicest part of this place is the shower, which you can see there in the picture on the left. Ooh, ahh.. looks cozy, doesn’t it? Well I like it, anyway, and I wanted to build something that would serve as a centerpiece to this future rental unit that would anchor it in the luxury market and thus allow it to earn higher rents forever . The cool part is, it didn’t really cost much to build. Those floor-to- ceiling travertine tiles , dark slate, river rock floor stones , and even the handle and valve set were all found on Craigslist at a deep discount. The shampoo nook which keeps your wife’s shaving razors from messing with your personal space is just a few extra cuts on the tile...

A Master Bath Renovation

Image
It was certainly a process of a few month’s work, but my brother-in-law, Bruce, finished up their master bath renovation and it looks fabulous!  I can’t wait to share it with you all.  Did you know that kitchens and master baths are right at the top of the list for spaces to renovate in a home that will add the most value?  It’s true.  I hear it all the time.  Most folks when they are looking at a resale home really love it when it has an up to date kitchen and renovated master bath , so hopefully these master bath renovation ideas will give you some things to ponder. So, not only will they get to enjoy the beauty and newness of their master bath, it will add value to their home too, when they sell it down the road.  That’s a win-win for sure.  And also the fact that Bruce did the work himself saved them a TON of money.  Bruce shared with me that he spent about $8,500 on the whole bathroom project, including the new Closet Maid closet system that he bought and installed too.  That’s...
