Part two of our bathroom renovation project...

On my previous blog, I mentioned that Lowe's was installing our new bi-fold mirror doors to close in the W/D area in our guest bathroom.  When the installer showed up, he inspected the doors and decided that he couldn't do the job.  The doors needed top and bottom tracking which meant drilling on the new tiles!  

We reported the problem to Lowe's and they said they'd be more than happy to find us another installer.  Instead of going that route again, I decided to get on Angie's list and try my luck in finding another installer. Finding a top-rated installer was easy but when they found out about our dilemma, they advised us to call the people who installed our tiles to do the job.  I called the tilers and asked them to please consider installing the doors for us.  We heard back from the tilers and they agreed to do the job, even if it was something they've never done before.  

We were gone on vacation all this time so we told them we would get back with them to set a day/time.  When we returned home, we decided it was best to return the doors at Lowe's and try to find another one without the bottom tracking. After getting a full refund from Lowe's, we headed to Home Depot to try our luck in finding the right doors.  Lo and behold, they had the kind we needed and for a much cheaper price!  

It's been a week since then and we are still currently waiting for the doors to arrive.  We decided to get this done right and booked an installer from Home Depot to do the job.
  

Meanwhile, we contacted The Bathtubman to refinish the tub and tiles in the guest bathroom. 

Before Refinishing

After Refinishing

 It only took 24 hours for the finish to set, but we waited another day before proceeding with hanging the paintable wallpaper. 
  

     It took a couple of days to finish the job of wallpapering and caulking the seams, but the results were phenomenal.  We can't recall these walls ever looking this good!

I decided on these two color palettes to add some Zen to the bathroom.

After painting the walls the texture on the wallpaper became more prominent. 

I searched 5 stores trying to find the right shower curtain and finally found one at TJMaxx!

I found a lace curtain panel to use for the valance and added accent cording to the corners.  

I already had these wall decors before we renovated this bathroom.  It's wonderful seeing how all of them blended right in with the new colors in this bathroom.

 

This clock was my inspiration for the colors in this space.

My shabby chic angels added a nice touch to the vanity.

I can't wait for the bi-fold mirror doors to be installed in this guest bathroom to complete this bathroom project.  In the meantime, I'll sit back and enjoy that all my work is done in this space.
