Remodeling the bathroom: Day 3








So, final day of our super-awesome extended weekend: Grounting, painting the wainscoting, and figuring out how to fix the small hiccups we have encountered.

Grouting went well today-- with the help of dad, we mucked up just about everything and turned out really liking the result. It's a bit difficult to see how everything is going to look together at the moment too, with our "it's a boy" crazy color scheme (we are very excited to put the wainscoting up to cover the yellow-duck look we have going on) but hopefully we should have things in line in a week or so. (I figure if I post about it, we will have pressure to actually finish!)

Next step-- figuring out how to fill the 1" gap between the wall and the sides of the vanity. Darn. We were thinking we had this whole thing so figured out. The previous owners had done a 'handy' job of jamming molding into the cracks of a typical 31" vanity... however, with my Mr. Fix-it dad urging us to come up with something professional looking, we are searching for the perfect cure.
