And two other subjects: I just went down to see what was happening with the new greenhouse and I found all the glass completely frosted over. It's colder this morning than was predicted.
Finally, here's what our bathroom looks like this morning. The plumber worked all day yesterday getting it ready for the new shower to be tiled in. We are keeping the sink, bidet, and old tile.
It's still very warm in the south. Almost weird, but maybe not, when I check the historic averages. Enjoying it while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
It's supposed to warm up here for the weekend, but be rainy. Those maple trees are a real treat in summer and fall, and they hide our terrace from people driving up the road. The only thing about the maples is the mass of leave we have to rake up in November and December.
DeleteIs that a bathtub on the right? So, is that being removed, to be replaced by a big shower, or was there also a small shower, and that was removed, and that's what is going to be replaced?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the changing colors :)
No, we're keeping the bathtub. The pre-fabricated plastic shower stall is what's going. It's already gone, in fact. The contractor is here today and starting construction of a bigger, tiled-in shower. We'll both put up more photos as the work progresses.
DeleteConsidering the winters I have had the past couple of years, I am quite content with only having to wear a light sweater these days .. Florida might be boring but it doesn't snow.
ReplyDeleteI love the tile.. love love love :) That was our sink in Buenos Aires, I picked it out , I love it too . How big is the tub ? is it very large or ordinary large ? :)
Florida would be too hot for me, but I'd enjoy the Oct. thru March season. Coastal N.C. is not very different, but a little colder in the dead of winter.
DeleteThe tub is big but not gigantic. We use it mostly for showering the dust off the leaves of big potted plants, or for washing large harvests of kale or collard greens. So it comes in handy.
The old bathroom tile is in very good condition. We're hoping the new tile we chose for the shower will look good next to it.
I'm in Jacksonville, it actually gets cold here and you have to turn on the heat in winter :)
DeleteThe bathroom we had in the apt in Buenos Aires, had awful banged up tile or linoleum so we gutted it and put in something very similar to yours ... with a monster bathtub :) We did the white tiles on the walls in the "subway" tile way .. so the black and white floor went well with it.
I love renovating .. lol ...
I love the tile in your large bathroom and am looking forward to seeing the new shower.
