Fall 2020 - One Room Challenge - Week 5

Wow, what an experience this project has been, and, it’s week 5, which means we are close to the finish line, polishing up our projects despite the hiccups we had to face with the availability of our trades to complete the work.

This project being my very first bathroom remodeling project, I learned a great deal and have a clear workflow set for future bathroom remodeling projects. It is a very detail-sensitive undertaking and, one must be prepared to learn along the way.

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4

As I had mentioned in my previous posts, this six-week blogging event, held twice a year, is hosted by Better Homes & Gardens. Linda Weinstein is the creator and owner of this event, who wanted to create a feeling of community of designers working on their projects that they wanted to get completed. Having a six-week deadline makes it fun to stay motivated and keep progressing forward in the process. There are twenty featured designers as well as guest participants to become a part of this community and share our progress each week through our blogs. You can read theirs here.

Let us get down to the details of what have been the accomplishments this week.

All of the plumbing

Shower doors installed

The light fixtures installed

Towel rod, ring, and, toilet paper hardware install

Walls prepped for hanging the wallpaper;

As I mentioned, this is my very first bathroom remodel and, I was expecting that the contractor would bring it to my attention that the fixture I had chosen for this project required an additional component. I would have brought it if I had known. Well, now I know the hard way and tweaking the finish of the shower finish and even the style of it.

In the end, when one looks at it, it works and, the client is happy with the way the finishes are working with the hardware of the shower doors.

I still made two different metal finishes work together in the same space. It is as intentional as I had wanted it to look. As long as there is a repetition of the finish, you can make it work.

Excited for the final reveal week, I have scheduled the photographer and will be going on a quick shopping trip to style and finish the space.
