The Lake House
lighter:
I'm returning most of the LVP, which was for the great room sandwiched between oak hardwoods, brick pavers and huge mostly warm gray stone fireplace. What a puzzle that is. Nothing looks right, so I'm considering going back in with carpet. No one views carpet as ideal, btw.
At 3.25 installed, which includes tear out and carry away of old carpet, it seems like a no brainer.....but it's carpet. Never clean.
::looking at carpet samples in room::
I think I'll need the more expensive, many colored carpet, if carpet is to be the choice.
As I go through the motions of moving the samples around.....I get dog owe wafting into my super sensitive nose, along with enzymatic pet stink cleaner....smelks like pousin to me. And it's upsetting, but I'm no longer reactive around it. That's nice.

Bathroom on final day of tiling. Contractor upped his tiling labor price $500.00 so I added tile around the toilet area walls....about 40" high with bullnose. It's pretty close to my idea of perfection. All that white tile, 8' high in the shower on what's got to be a 10.5 foot high wall. It wraps around the vanity wall on one side and the toilet on the other....ends into door frame.
The med cabinet is beveled mirror, super well made and heavy from The Re-Store...$60.00. Cabinet is white with mirror inset in doors....black granite top.
Final selections will be paint and glass shower door. I wish we could do a stationary panel with open area into shower....sans a door, but I don't think the math works on that.
Any opinions on hinged door vs sliders? I really hate cleaning sliders.

It sounds amazing, Lighter, is there still a lot to do on the whole house or is other stuff done already? Personally I would always go with what's easiest to clean, especially if it might end up being used as a rental xx

Bathroom painted and grouted today. Looks more like marble...looks more expensive and decadent than it is, for sure. Tile wraps vanity wall and around toilet.
There's a niche for coffee and phone by toilet, new science over toilet with separate switch and outlet for electronics.
We moved a light fixture on other side if wall to solve door swing problem....was easy bc wall was opened on bathroom side.
I feel like that bed with private bath will be super spot on....buttoned up with economy if expense, in best possible way.
Once flooring selected and on site contractor can put in door, vanity and toilet.
Can order shower door now. Woo hoo!
Think Restoration Hardware. So pretty!

Since LVP not yet handled, brother on that, we're going ahead with tear out of all upstairs carpet....3 bedrooms, huge walk in closet and large LR. Contractor hauling our dump trailer to dump, so will fill it with everything waiting to go.
Will be breath of fresh air to have icky carpet, with all its stains, smell and dust removed.
I feel the need for rituals around sealing and putting to rest everything'done seeped into the subfloor. My Southern accent kicks in when I'm around the contractor; )
Pressure switch for well bro,g replaced tomorrow.
I feel like dancing in the sunlight. Again.
