Spanish Red

We're hoping to finish our half bath this weekend. Projects are so slow when you can only work on them a few hours a night...and Brad found out he has to work this weekend for an exercise so we won't make as much progress.

Here is what we've done so far...the before...
We found mildew damage around the pipes behind the vanity so we decided to rip out the sheetrock down to the studs. This also allowed us to move the electrical around easier.
A small tile casualty...Brad was actually completely unaware that he had a tiny piece of tile in his forehead or that he was bleeding.
We moved the canister lights from the ceiling so we could have a wall mounted fixture over the mirror.
Here is the beginning of the new bathroom with the new light fixture installed. I painted it Spanish Red...this is the same color that is in our library. It is the one color that I like in this house and that I'm keeping...the rest of our main floor is various shades of brown and red is my accent color, so in the library and bathroom I decided to paint red and accent with browns.
We're currently sealing the floor and then grouting, but here is the travertine that is a 12x12 version of the 18x18 tiles we used in our kitchen.
This weekend we'll put white baseboards in around the bottom and then install the toilet and the vanity and the new towel bars. I'm still debating on mirrors...but hopefully we'll wrap this project up in the next few days.
