Nicely, I ghosted y’all final week, after which didn’t wish to present up at the moment, both, however Matt made me. ? I instructed him, “I simply can’t get on my weblog and discuss that bathe AGAIN. I can’t do it. I’m so sick of that bathe, and I do know they’re, too.” However he mentioned, “You need to. Simply give a fast replace so that they’ll understand how issues are going.” Ugh. So in opposition to my needs, and with numerous protest, I’m right here as a result of Matt made me. ?
The bathe (I say as I shake my fist in the direction of the sky) remains to be not completed. Oh, it’s getting there. It’s at a snail’s tempo, however it’s getting there. I had positive hoped to get all the tiling achieved by now, however different issues have commanded my consideration over the previous few days — my mother’s birthday, household stuff, and so forth. So I’m simply taking someday at a time, working after I can, and attempting to maintain focus.
Right here’s the place the bathe progress stands as of this morning…
The again wall is tiled, and about 2/3 of that wall is grouted and nonetheless very hazy. The higher 1/3 shouldn’t be grouted. The one purpose that a part of that wall is grouted is as a result of I needed to see if the grout made an entire lot of distinction with the accent tile earlier than I dedicated to ripping out 1/3 of the tile and the accent tile on that wall. I don’t often do my grouting in such a random, piecemeal approach when doing a tile undertaking. (And I bought a cute little teak bathe stool from Amazon.)
The facet wall is all tiled apart from the area of interest. It’s not grouted but.
It took me some time to determine what to do with the area of interest, however I feel I lastly have it found out. Hopefully I can get it completed at the moment.
After which I bought the bathe head wall tiled, however clearly, it’s not grouted, both.
In order that simply leaves this slim wall, which is the again facet of the bath/mural wall.
I form of misplaced steam after I realized that I used to be lacking two items for my bathe fixtures. I didn’t understand that the elbow that really connects to the pipe within the wall, and into which the hose for the hand held sprayer connects, must be purchased individually. I figured it could include the hand held bathe sprayer set. I imply, it appears so absurd that it could come individually, proper? Anyway, that was irritating.
After which someplace alongside the way in which, I’ve misplaced the 8-inch backplate for the water management. UGH!!!! So I needed to order a brand new one, and now I wait. The bathe can be utilized with out it, however it simply received’t be utterly completed till it will get right here, and it mentioned that would take about 4 weeks. (Cue the tears of frustration.)
As I’ve been working on this bathe, I’ve come to comprehend that having such an enormous, open bathe might be going to get fairly chilly, and I can’t stand the considered being chilly within the bathe. So I’ve been pondering of ways in which I can preserve the heat contained in the bathe whereas it’s in use.
Having a bathe curtain cowl the opening into the bathe shouldn’t be an choice. I simply don’t desire a bathe curtain to be so front-and-center from the primary a part of the room. So after giving it numerous thought, I’ve lastly determined to hold a reasonably curtain rod throughout this space of the bathe, after which dangle a reasonably (however most likely stable white) bathe curtain on the gorgeous curtain rod.
I’ve had a few challenges with this plan, although. First, discovering a curtain rod hasn’t been simple. The span is 80.5 inches, so a rigidity rod received’t work as a result of they’re not lengthy sufficient. I’d choose a rod that may dangle from the ceiling in order that I don’t must drill holes in my tile (one thing like this), however discovering one in the proper size, the proper shade and end, and that really has three brackets that may work when put in on the ceiling, has been unattainable to this point.
Anyway, I feel it’ll truly be fairly fairly. Y’all know I really like to make use of cloth, and I search for methods so as to add cloth to my rooms. This bathe could be very giant, and the configuration isn’t customary, so I feel a non-standard placement of the bathe curtain will work. I’m truly fairly enthusiastic about the way it seems to be in my thoughts ? , so I hope that’ll switch to actuality. My monitor report with the accent tile wasn’t good, so I hope I do higher with this.
In order that’s the progress. For my very own psychological well being, I hope to goodness that I can get this bathe tiling achieved within the subsequent couple of days so I can transfer on to one thing else within the room!
