1/2 Bath Redo

We have three projects to get done before summer comes:
 
1: Second story half bath, new tile and new vanity.
2: New molding throughout the first floor living and dining room
3: Buffet style cabinets in the dining room.
 
Here we go...
 We got started on the half bath upstairs. Yesterday, we went to Home Depot and bought the tile, but they didn't have a vanity we liked, so we went to Lowes and found the perfect vanity, but they were out of stock; we went to three different Lowes to get the vanity we wanted. So the whole night was wasted driving across town, back and forth.
 
 
Terry did the demo: he had to jackhammer out the old ceramic base molding,
 and he tore out two layers of tile.

 
Time to remove the toilet and the old style sink.

 
That wasn't too hard...

 
Laying out the tile to measure for cuts.
 
This space is so small, only 30 square feet, so we were able to splurge on some nice tile.
 It is Italian porcelain, in 6 x 24 inch planks, made to look like reclaimed wood.
I love it. 

 
There's where the toilet ended up...

 
Terry made all the cuts, and mixed up the thin set, and now I get to work.

 
The cuts around the toilet are always the tricky part.

 
Done. Tomorrow, I grout.

 
New faucet for the new sink and vanity.
 
The vanity is still sitting in the garage, and I forgot to take a picture.
 
This project isn't going to take long at all.
