New Tub Tada

Our master bathtub is an old inset type and not real big. My husband suggested we find a bigger tub and do some remodeling in our guest bathroom and put one in there. There really wasn't room for a bigger one in our bathroom. So I found one on Craigslist only an hour away for a super good deal! And.. it's HUGE!
Anyway it was sitting outside in a shed and I was getting antsy. So with the word of go ahead from my husband I started demolition on the guest bathroom for it too was not big enough for this tub! All it had was a little shower insert.
I don't think I have a before picture as it wasn't anything too stunning, haha! Once I got the shower out I started in on the wall! I got some tough news about a friend and was a little emotional one day. Turns out that's a great time to rip drywall off the wall! I got a lot done!
We broke through into our addition/storage/work room! Next it was down with the shower partition wall! This one wasn't very well attached so it kinda just went timber!
The view from the addition...looks like a dollhouse view! You can see our breaker box on the left. It was a bit of a job but we worked it out!
And into the addition, those are the attic stairs. There is however a door onto the roof which is actually more easily accessible from a ladder to the porch roof.
And here is the bulhemouth!
I love my husband!!
I was mostly just an audience and at times a questioner of his methods...it was very unnecessary. He did great!
Little man checked in on the process now and then.
Sorry, but my pictures really jump ahead from there. He got the wall built, a box around the breaker box and everything!
Next was tile time!
There is a lot of tile! I did have the final job of cleanup! We are so happy with the results! I feel a little sorry for our master bath since it gets a bit neglected! Haha!

 We put up an L shaped curtain rod and a lovely gray set of curtains! You can't see it here but it also has a rainshower head. I love it!

Thanks for listening! We did this last year and I had started a post. It was time to finish!

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times I had to stop and find more squar

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended up receiving it wanted something more.  She f

I'm Still Here!! Kim's Quilt

Image
I have been missing in action here on the blog but for good reason! My husband and I sold our house at the end of June and moved to our unfinished basement in the middle of nowhere! We lived for 3 months among all our stuff(which is alot) as we pushed forward on building the house above us.  We are now upstairs, hurray! Although far from finished it feels so good!! Anywho, I still had a few quilting projects with deadlines to complete. Here is one! I kept out the few necessary supplies, my modern little New Home Janome, and made it work. First it was on/beside the bed in our little sleeping corner.  She picked a pattern from a few I suggested but in a forest green colorway. I loved the pattern as it was simple, straightforward halfsquare triangle blocks. They were fairly large, 9.5 inches and it went together so quickly! A great quilt for a less than optimal work space. Haha, my toddler has learned the fun of digital photography. Worked quite nice here to show the next work space. I ha
