The Remodel that Goes on and on

Quickly on the heels of our kitchen remodel, Mary decided to take on the master bath and make some improvements that she had planned for a very long time.  New tile, reglaze the clawfoot tub (from '80's pink to original white), and new wainscot paneling, among other things.  She added a small project to build in knee-wall closets make it more attractive to the contractor.  We thought that if we jumped into this right at the end of the kitchen it would be done quickly.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

No such luck.  Here we are entering the third month...only a little progress to show each day.  My hypothesis is this job is too small and the contractor is mixing it in with some other small jobs.  At this point the project has nearly taken as long as the kitchen.

Anyhow, here are some photos...the new tile, in the old style; the clawfoot tub (note the stained glass windows we are retaining), a look at the new paneling, and finally, the kneewall closet in progress.  It is cedar lined with heart o' pine floors, like the rest of the upstairs (downstairs is oak).

Hope to be done with this next month.
