The Week Long Ensuite Project
I think it’s been a week of work since we started redoing the ensuite. Yeah, about 7 days worth, that seems right.
Of course, those 7 days have been spread over about 8 months…
Today I got the flooring installed. It’s a great pattern in FiberFloor from Tarkett, called “Green Pazazz“.
We put this flooring in the front entryway too, but we’re not too impressed with it there. It looks fantastic (just enough “quirky” to fit our personalities) but the light colour shows the dirt very easily. In the main entryway to the house, that’s not a great feature.
For the ensuite, though, it was perfect. I love how this looks.
The big square hole goes down straight into the laundry room. The sink cabinet has a matching hole cut in the bottom of it, so we just have to open the cupboard under the sink and toss clothes down. The best solution for not having main floor laundry.
We’ve decided that we really like green. Everything we’ve chosen in various rooms and pictures that we like seems to be green-based.
Here’s a “myspace angle” shot of the walls, where you can see the new custom inset shelving in the side and back wall and the tongue and groove dropped ceiling to cover up the poor job the original owners did pulling out a wall to put this ensuite in.
The big mirror is the original, I just put it back up last week. I has a few nicks and chips (some as new as last week) but it’s nice to have such a large mirror.
All I need is trim and then cabinets and toilet. Hurrah! Hopefully it will only be another three or four months before that’s done.
