We are starting to see some real progress in the bathroom. We finally decided to pay someone to do the tile and after a 7 days of tiling (6 of which were spent in the shower) it is looking very good. We also had the vanity counter installed yesterday. Very excited about that. There is still a little bit of tiling left to do (1 day of laying 1 of grouting) but we have to wait for the glass shower door and panel to be installed first (and they won't be ready until the last week of November). If everything goes well our tiler will be back around December 10th to finish off the tile. Then we have to seal everything, install the toilet, plumbing fixtures, lighting, the mirror, etc. and then we will be ready to use our bathroom again.

As you can see from the pictures Darren is taking advantage of the break between tiling & glass installation to stain the cabinets. Hoping to get that done this weekend (before we leave for thanksgiving) and then we'll paint as soon as we get back. We are hoping the paint color we chose still looks okay, the tile looks a bit more pink/peach installed than it did pre-installation. Here's hoping.

I am very excited to have our master bathroom back though since it has been over a year now, I think a completed bathroom may end up being my Christmas present. YEAH!
