Lyle's been busy this week! With his trusty assistant...Dottie, he successfully patterned out the tile. Many hours were spent on that tub, just to get it right.
By Friday, he has put in the vanity, sink, toilet, and all the tub and shower fixtures. There are only a few finishing touches to do like paper holder, towel bars, door jams, and mirrors.

I love the pattern and the beautiful update that has been made to This Old House!
The kitchen was included in the tile work this week as well. On Thursday, Lyle did 80% of the main counters in the kitchen. Even though it is up, there are several more steps to go through before completing.
Here is the other side where the stove and fan will go. We have not completely decided what to do with the wall that had the old Z-brick...but thinking about painting the same as the rest of the kitchen.

All week Marlene has been wall papering. Yes, these white walls are wallpaper that will get painted. (The toilet has now been returned to the proper throne room and is no longer the conversation piece of this room.) One wall of the master bedroom has been wall papered as well, but bad light prevented me from taking a picture.
Here I am trying to stay 1 step ahead of Lyle in his tile jobs. He hates demo...and that is one thing that I can do!
The tile on the peninsula has to be removed to make way for the updated look. It was noisy and messy, but I think I was helpful. Tomorrow Lyle can start with a clean palate to work his tile magic in one more place.

Over 24 years ago, Lyle made the cupboards in this kitchen. They were beautiful then and remain in great condition. It is wonderful that we did not have to totally gutt this room like the bathroom.
Well, you can see, work is continuing at This Old House. It seems endless, and extremely exhausting, but there is a sense of accomplishment each day when we collapse and rest up to go at it again the next day. I truly look forward to Sundays... our day of rest!
