We're Doing This

 
The shower is done, and now we move on
 to the rest of the downstairs bathroom.
Terry is sanding down cedar fence slats.
 (Yeah, I sanded too, where's my pic?)
This is the shabby-chic wall covering we will be using.
A couple bucks a piece, good coverage, and sweet smelling too...

 
Here is the toilet space.Trying to figure out the tile alignment...

 
Terry working on the plumbling behind the toilet.
 
 
Putting up "pee walls".
 
Just what are "pee walls?"
Well, the pee wall is the area around the toilet
 that must be alotted for pee spray.
The walls are going to be covered in cedar,
 but that would be gross around the toilet,
 hence; the washable "pee walls".

 
Back to the shower for a moment...
I looked on line for shower stall curtains,
and just couldn't find what I wanted,
so I took a curtain I had for my bathtub
 and cut, and sewed it down to shower stall size.


Yeah for me. It's perfect.

 
Back to the overspray walls...

 
We bought cheap wainscoting for this tiny little area.
The stuff we really wanted was $60 a sheet, noooo....
This was $20, and so, we consider it disposable.

 
It is our mission to make everything
 in this basement bath waterproof, and/or disposable.
 
I wouldn't feel bad if I had to rip out this wall board (if it got wet).
Using all treated wood on the floor, and anything bare wood,
 raised off the floor (like the vanity).
 
After much research, cedar on the walls is cost efficient,
 and water resilient, and looks pretty cool.
 
Having leaky foundation problems,
we have to think about these things while putting this bathroom together.

 
This particular area of the basement is dry,
 but you never know what might happen...
 
We do feel confident about laying some ceramic tile in this area.

 
Finally... some cedar planks going up.

 
Sizing, sanding, and cutting. Lot's of cedar... It smells so good. 

 
A little trim molding...

 
Terry is doing some special cuts...

 
It's coming together...

 
Couldn't help using a scrap piece of cedar to paint a picture.

 
We're doing this..........
