Cabin Bathroom Part II

In my last bathroom post we had emptied the bathroom to the 
framing and had the whitewashed tongue and groove ceiling installed. 

Lots more changes are happening and it's really starting to come together. 

New walls were put up. Hooray for walls! A recessed medicine 
cabinet was installed in the wall. A set of upper cabinets were 
rescued from the kitchen and installed on the wall over the 
new commode. Then it was time to get busy priming.It's so 
much easier to paint if you don't have to worry about the trim work! 

I can't decide what my favorite part of the bathroom will be but I am in love with the new floor! We got 10" wide plank flooring for the bathroom. We stained it before it was put down and we will put floor finish on it when the rest of the work is complete. The floor appears rustic and looks like its always been there;, even without the final finish it is beautiful.

Then the new toilet went in. I'm sure going to miss that old "rock and roll" toilet. Yea, right! The tank is still not on in this picture for ease of painting. We got the primer coats on but the final paint still needed to be completed.
I'm so in love with it already and it's not finished! How about that floor? Isn't she a beauty?

Now it was time to get busy with the final wall paint. At this point we are still managing to stay ahead of the trim work installation. The bathroom will have an old claw foot bathtub and an antique mantle when it's complete. I decided to do a textured wall treatment to keep the vintage them going. This took a bit of extra time but was well worth the effort. I was very pleased with the end result. 

Below is an up close photo of the wall texture. I may also do this same wall treatment in another room of the cabin. Just ignore the shadow, my camera and I weren't agreeing that day but it looks like an old plaster wall.

The wall painting is complete. The cabinet doors were removed
for painting and still need to be finished but the room is now 
ready for the trim to be installed. 



What a difference! There is still more work to come but its made an amazing transformation already.


More updates to come.
