Day Five-forty: a bathroom is reborn

We're done. The backsplash has grout. We put new caulk along the backsplash, tub, and from the floor to the tub. The mirror, bars, and shelves are back up. Here are a few views of the final result.

To refresh your memory, here's what it looked like before last week. With the light colored floor and grey backsplash it was somewhat cool.

Here's a closeup of the stone tile we took out.

If you're thinking "These people are nuts, they did all that work again!" then believe us that we've had those same thoughts. But we're determined to make this our ideal house even in the unfortunate event that it means we have to do something more than once to get it right. 

Here was our first attempt at remodeling the room, made in haste more than a year ago--it was all white, yellow, and that light colored floor.

Why did we rush to make those early decisions that we are only now fully correcting? Too many reasons to recall here, but one big one was the sorry state of the room when we bought the house--lavender walls, grey toilet, cheap vanity and counter, who knows what kind of tile on the floor and walls, and enough grime for a small city.
