Things have been moving along well on the Reno front. Since this room is really just a boring box, with no extra inches to panel the walls or add bookshelves, my only option was to create drama with the ceiling. Here the awful spray stucco ceiling has been levelled with strapping and the spotlights installed. We confirmed what the window installers told us a few years ago, that we live in a crooked house.
The ceiling is now ready for the bead board.
The view into the bathroom which is now flooded with natural light.
The basket weave tile is down. I have loved this floor for 10 years at least. To me, it is as classic as a black dress with pearls. It will never go out of style.
Ok, I can't calculate square footage too well. We ran out, and now have to wait for a delivery from Montreal to get 3 additional tiles.

That basket weave has a very strange visual effect when you scroll down, Raz - it seems to get closer to you.
ReplyDeleteOh Chania...you must have the patience of a saint! That basketweave floor is a classic and so beautiful...worth waiting for? dare I say...
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I agree with you on the tile, a true classic and great PATTERN!
ReplyDeletebeautiful floor, C. wow! all the delays. I had better be prepared for that.
ReplyDeletelooks like your space is gonna be terrific!
ugh..I am feeling for you I truly am.......being on the other end of the retail for tile and flooring...it is horrible to have to tell a customer the tile is stuck in Vancouver or Toronto. I know this reno pain all too much. Hang in there...the floor is DEVINE.
ReplyDeleteYour checklist shows that you appear to be in the midst of a perfectly normal reno ... the only thing you forgot was 'over budget'.
ReplyDeleteLooking very good so far!!

Are you sleeping on the couch? Or are you lucky enough to have a spare room.....just wondering.
ReplyDeleteI love that choice of tile! And who doesn't live in a crooked house?xx
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give for basket weave tile! You lucky duck. Except for all those back-ordered and delayed items. That stinks. But I'm sure it will all be beautiful and well worth the wait.
