baths

the 1/2 bath on the main floor is just about done. all it's missing is a shelf that we recently ordered from the good old internets.
getting closer...
the mirror and the light above it are both old hospital fixtures. the first was found in a thrift store. the latter was spotted at an architectural salvage place in kansas city.  the guy who sold it to us was kind enough to give us an impromptu lesson in rewiring.

getting closer...
the sink... it was hard to find something small enough to fit in this little nook without protruding to much into the entry. our solution? a cheapo stainless steel hand wash sink that can be found at any restaurant supply store. works great.

the guest bath is just about done. the mirror, sink, and faucet were all installed recently.

the master bathroom is also so close to completion - we can taste it.

getting closer...
the shower trims were all installed. we've never owned a hand shower before, but thought it might be handy for a soon-to-be 80 lb. bloodhound.

getting closer...
around the corner is a pocket door. that's one of the original doors refinished, resized and repurposed to conceal the toilet. (there's one more in the house just like it hiding the 1/2 bath.)  there's only one thing left to be done in this room - the trim, pictured above, needs to be primed and painted.

we're inching toward our goal.

oh right, *that's* what you want the had shower for...

I love love love handshowers. That's pretty much the only kind in Amsterdam, and I just said to David I wish everywhere had them. He's so tall, and I'm short, and we can adjust to just right for each of us!

Will that tall spout on the tiny stainless steel sink not splash a lot?

tall spout came with the sink, so it shouldn't splash too much. have tried it a couple of times and haven't noticed it being an issue.
