Restarting the renovation ...

A lot's happened, in my building and in my life, since I stopped my renovation. Now I'm restarting it again, and hoping to move in by March.

In the interim, I thought more about the bathroom (and also used up all my hardware in my mother's bathroom renovation). I've evolved from modern to a more glitzy-glammy-girly look.

The wall tile, you may remember, is iridescent pale pink glass -

And the floor/side of tub tile is supposed to look like this -

I say "supposed to" because I opened one of the boxes when it arrived, and looked at a few tiles. I expected swirly Neapolitan ice cream, but I seem to have gotten a more quiet streaky vanilla. They say stone may vary - I'm hoping that it varies in a good way once we unpack all of the tiles.

Here are my sconces!



There are three of them - one for the sink, and two for the long wall opposite the tub. They've arrived already, and they're really pretty and twinkly.

I decided to go with a traditional medicine cabinet and vanity after all. I'm re-using the vanity we took out of my mother's bathroom. It's very nice solid wood, and I've bought a new sink top and very cute new handles for it.

And here's the hardware I chose, this time around  -
