House Remodeling Thread (long)

Oh boy, NY, that is a real pain. I so loved the floor you chose and was actually thinking about the same one for our motorhome. I don't know what I'd do. Those silver beveled edges sound a bit odd to me. Maybe they are expecting people to use it in a kitchen to tie in with stainless steel appliances? I don't think I'd use it throughout but would have to see it. Unless you are really sold on cork, maybe the wood floor would be best. You are on the ground floor, no? If that's the case, you really don't have to worry about bothering anyone else, so if you like the wood, I'd go for it. There are also some nice tiles now that look like wood as well, but would likely be too "cold" for your area. Great for the south, though!

The next step is to move the tub in. The powder room portion on the other side isn't even really started, but we will be able to have a bath quite soon.

We got ambitious and put the tub in. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I was expecting to get it into place.

Beautiful wood work on the tub and beautiful soaking room…isn’t port orford the traditional Japanese used wood for soaking tubs?
Cleansing and rejuvenating the mind, body and spirit ftw!!!!!!!!

That's exactly what it is. There's a guy up in Alaska who makes traditional ofuro as well as red cedar hot tubs.

That's gorgeous, Eden. SO serene and relaxing. I live in envy!

Oh, I was lucky to visit those when I was in Japan a few years ago. I really wanted to install something like this in my home now, but all I can find is this https://www.amazon.com/Freestanding-.../dp/B01CYWGKLY. I'm making some renovation now and thanks to guides like this https://sanitaryreview.com/category/how-to/ already managed to install a toilet on my own, all I need is just a bathtub... any ideas?

We use apartment therapy and Sunset for inspiration. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/bef...ation-36639620

Now that Knott’s treatment is winding down this old girls thoughts turn to remodeling the house. That and new wheels I promised myself for the road bike.

First step will be; new heater, then lights (really hate our lighting), bath, then kitchen.
