Boys' Breakfast

In order to have a quiet morning so Ridley could catch some more sleep, the boys resorted to a picnic in the master bathroom floor.  I asked them why, and they matter of factly told me the heated floor.  Made sense to me.  Enjoy your cereal, boys! 

Bathroom Buddy

While the boys are away, Ridley and I are hanging out at home and staying warm.  When I wasn't carrying her around, she was right on my heels.  Even when I was in the bathroom, she followed.  She thought it was so fun to look through magazines and chat. 

Sneak Peek

The shower glass is in!  We have been waiting for about two weeks for the custom, frameless shower glass, and it is beautiful!  We are so pleased with the massive shower, and I can't wait to take a shower.  More pictures of the finished master bathroom to come.

Bathroom Project Continues

Our master bathroom renovation continues, and today was a big milestone.  We laid the first travertine tile on the floor and completed the shower pan.  It made us very happy because it felt like we were turning the corner and actually getting somewhere.  

The boys were right in the middle of the mess, as always.  They wanted to help with everything and when that didn't work, they just brought their toys in the bathroom.  We wanted them to feel included, so we let them write their name in the shower cement and help with the little parts of the project.  

More pictures to come.

Tile

The first shipment of tile for our master bathroom project has arrived.  Hooray!  It doesn't look like much, but it is all the beautiful accent tiles. I can't wait to see it all come together.  It has been a long three years of projects, and I am really looking forward to finishing our home.

Demo

Here we go...

Since we have found the accent tile that we really love, it was time to get started with the demo of the master bathroom.  It must be a boy thing, because even my little guys love to tear stuff up.  While Ryland and Reed knock holes in the sheetrock, John Chris pulls out the corner tub surround and the cabinets.

After the tub was disconnected, the question of removal quickly went down hill.  John Chris figured that there was no way to get the tub out in one piece.  While he broke the tub, the boys played in front of the mirror.  They just love looking at themselves in the mirror.  

This is what we found when John Chris opened the door.  Yikes!  What a mess!

Bathroom Inspiration

We noticed that a new tile shop was finally open in Southlake, so we decided to take a quick look through their store displays.  John Chris and I both agreed that they had the best sample vignettes of all the places we have looked.  The store was full of nice quality stone and all the finishing touches.  As we browsed the store, we found a great mixed travertine mosaic tile that we both liked for the master shower and accent tile.  I have a feeling it is time to start demo.
