I'll let the pictures do the talkin'

It will be two years ago on August 15th that Matt and I bought our house. And shortly after getting settled we decided that the empty room off of our bedroom should be a master bathroom. It was completely empty, no interior walls, no plumbing, just electricity and two windows. One week ago, we officially FINISHED the bathroom. It has been a long process, but we've had fun working together on everything from designing the floor plan, to picking out tile, the toilet, the lighting fixture and the million other little decisions that come along with starting anything from scratch! Enjoy the progression in pictures......


One of the first steps was adding plumbing to the room. Matt had to get under the house and connect the new plumbing with the rest of the houses already existing pipes.

Next, the cement backer-board went up in the shower. And as a side note: before the plumbing, and the cement board, the VERY first steps were the walls for the walk-in closet, shower & toilet room. They had to be framed, dry walled & sanded. But I don't have pictures of that part.

Lighting...

Even our little vines have come along way. Soon they will cover the entire lattice and our Costa Rican inspired shower will be complete! Ok, explanation on that one..when we were in CR together we staying at a house that has a guest house with a shower that had one entire wall just screen, no glass, no window, just showering in the rain forest. So this is as close as we can get in Jax. ;)
