Because I was asked…here’s an update on the master bathroom remodel. It doesn’t look much different from the last batch of pictures, so no new pictures. Last Sat DH got the walls prepped for paint. There used to be a huge mirror over the vanity countertop that he took out. He had to patch that and retexture the walls. He laid the cement board on the floor and primed the walls and cabinet. Not all the retexture took. So he sprayed another layer last night.

Saturday he tried to get me to commit to a general idea of laying out the tile around the tub/shower. I asked him if he could lay it out, because I never understand what he intends and I am visual. One type of tile he had gotten to border the top was not laying right (it’s 3D bumpy, hard to describe). I thought it looked like the edge of a counter top. So last night we made yet another trip to Lowes to find something better. I think my summer and school year has been spent picking things out for the bathroom. I don’t know how many times I have gone back to rethink the floor tile or tub/shower tile. But at least I get to have an opinion. So the kids packed up the remains of the school work and we headed out.

First, we found out that the trim he had picked out was for counter top edges. We had to choose something else. We couldn’t find anything that would work, partly because the shelves were pretty much empty, having recently completed a remodel. Finally a look at the sample board and we saw a trim piece that looked pretty good and dh liked that…but there were no more in the store. The employee checked the computer and found another store with 52 tile pieces. So we drove over there before someone else bought them. This particular store is now going through their remodel and had mostly empty shelves. However we did find the trim piece, but not quite enough. They had far less than what the computer said, and we needed about 5 more. We took what we could. Today dh will check another Lowes at the other end of town where he works. Then he’ll be making a return of all the other trim pieces we won't use. However, this new piece we picked has a hump. And we decided to do that to frame all around the tile. That would be so pretty, but could dh miter the corners. Sure! After we got home, he was second guessing himself on whether he can miter the corners. Well, we may need to make another trip and repick all the tile for the bathroom. The saga continues….
