My favorite bathroom in the house!
The freestanding tub is now in place and I just love how it looks. The faucet for the tub still needs to be installed and blinds on the windows, but I am so happy with how it all turned out. The medicine cabinets and the hardware on the vanity are installed, so we finally have a functioning bathroom!
This room was our first experience with ship lap and though I love how it looks, here’s what I discovered. If you want to have the small lines in between the boards painted, do it before you put the boards up. It is extremely hard, time-consuming, and frustrating to try to do it after they are installed. I finally gave up after trying a regular brush, spray paint, and an artist fine brush.
Another suggestion I would make is to not purchase what you need for any room you are remodeling too early. I ordered these medicine cabinets before the vanity was installed. Even though I had measured and knew the size of the vanity, once it was installed, it looked small. I thought my medicine cabinets were going to be too large. I checked my paperwork and it was past the return policy deadline. So I had to live with them or use them somewhere else. We choose to use them here and even though there is not much room between them, I still think they look okay.
And since I’m sharing my mistakes, the other one I made was with the lighting above the medicine cabinets. These vanity lights were suppose to be pointed down, but because I didn’t take into consideration the depth of the lights and the cabinets, the lights would have been shining directly on the top of the medicine cabinets. So we turned the vanity lights up toward the ceiling and we got lucky because it still worked.
