Oh That Fabulous Basement Bathroom

Maybe it's because this brand-new bathroom is the first I've ever planned, or it's completely new and unique to this house, but this is the room I'm most proud of in the basement project.
This Before photo looks at the area where we planned to put the bathroom, if you look closely at the foors you'll see where we drew-in the walls. Since there was no plumbing roughed in, a majority of our budget went into cutting open the concrete and laying the pipes (see this post for details). There are now walls, so the window will be the only thing that shows you what's there now. 
Before: The Placement for the Bathroom
The niche vanity really helped us save lots of cash on the budget, as I'll post about soon.


After: See the Window Over the Vanity? Last Coat of Final Paint Still Needed.
It was pretty amazing to see this bathroom come together. And I'm pleased with how the tile and the other finishes look.
After: The Brand-New Bathroom
My brother and his girlfriend were visiting for New Year's Eve and were the first to use this bathroom and new bedroom. They reported the shower was great and it was certainly bright enough.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
