Part III -Third week - Hang in there ...

People always say that "time" comes to be a very subjective measurement, and that is sooo true. I am clearly not a very patient person so I get particulary anxious sometimes. I get very anxious when I start a project myself for instance, so I rush too much and I make a couple of mistakes that makes me start all over again. Could you imagine my anxiety when somebody else is doing the project for me? On the other hand my German side makes me be so stuck on details and preciseness that my stress level doesn't allow me to sleep so well in those situations.

All to say : I am sorry guys but you know that although I keep asking questions and looking at the time I truly believe your work is amazing so far. :-)

Slavic is a very detailed oriented and hard working person and I would feel very bad if he doesn't realize how much we appreciate the outstanding quality of work he delivers. I just think a couple of extra hands helping him a little bit will make his life much easier.

Eno knows me at this point so he is always ready for an extra question on "how , when or why".

What happened the past week:

Slavic installed the quartz surrounding for the bathtub and the window.The tub was presented in order to take some measurements. The ceiling and the walls were painted and the floor was prepared too. Summarizing all the preparation work to start tiling on the following week was done and this is just a summary of a lot of work being done in a week.

I will add some photos to make my conversation more interesting....

Here you can see some details of the shower walls and ceiling

The niche for my shampoo on the wall, cute!

The ceiling with the potlights almost on top of the tub

Later during the week Slavic completed the shower floor preparation for the small tiles.

More details of the ceiling with the fan too.

The tub on top of the quartz, nice...

And things get really interesting with the tiles on the shower wall.



Thank you for reading my post! There is more to come. Cheers!

Part II- Second week

Well, this is almost the final part of our second week for our bathroom renovation. I forgot to make it clear that although I had a big participation in the design I didn't feel ready to work on my own. After getting four different quotes I decided that Eno from " Parada Kitchens and Bathrooms" would be the best person to help me out.( http://paradakitchens.ca/).

Eno had successfuly renewed our neighbours' ensuite bathroom with a classical touch last year.  The advantage was that he knew the townhouses already and practically all the ins and outs of the project so I thought: It is always nice to avoid unwanted surprises!

 I wanted to go  more to the contemporary and minimalist side so we worked together for a while on the design before starting . Finally, we agreed on the design so he ordered our cabinets, mirrors and glass doors and I went shopping to purchase all the fixtures and pick the tiles. Believe me, it was not an easy task!

Last week Eno brought Slavic to our home to complete everything except the electrical. He has done a lot of work the last two weeks. The demolition took one entire week and this week he started building the canvas for our dreamed washroom as you can see below:

                                   Our bedroom is still pretty messy ...

                                       but it is slowly getting better...

                                
                                      Slavic finished the frame for the shower and the tiny bench...

 

 

 

 

He also prepared the water connections for the shower...

 

He built the little wall to separate the shower from our vanity...

                                         He installed the drain for the shower...

                                       He installed the new fan...

                                          He built the frame for the tub...

                                           And prepared the installation for our two sinks
                                          

                                         And now he is gone because the electritian is coming tomorrow ......

Bathroom renovation Adventure - Part I


After living for three years at our townhouse in Mountview Avenue we decided to go ahead with our ensuite washroom renovation to add some functionality and modern flare to our home.

Those below are the photos of our bathroom before remodelling:

 

 

But as we all know: "it is easier to say it than to do it". Our washroom renovation was a very ambitious one, we wanted everything new and nicer so we had to demolish whatever was part of our existing washroom. It was a really scary and messy moment. After a week of demolition our washroom was all naked as the photos that follow show.

 

 

 

 

And suddenly our master bedroom was converted into a warehouse and we had to move to our daughter's bedroom. Thanks God she was in Italy!
