Almost finished!

More progress in the kitchen: the tile countertop and backsplash are now complete, and the range hood was installed today.

The bathroom's console sink has now been installed. The legs need a little adjustment and caulk to anchor them in place, but it's otherwise as it should be. This faucet is not the one we ultimately plan to install. That faucet is still on order. Since the plumber was coming, and we figured any faucet's better than no faucet, we picked up this porcelain and chrome American Standard at Home Depot on clearance for a mere $27. Now that is has been installed, we kinda like it. Maybe we'll send the other one back.

Next big project: kitchen and bath remodel

Since our house is a circa-1940s wood frame Florida Cracker style home, we have decided to redo both the kitchen and bathroom in vintage 1920s to 1940s style. Classic 3x6" porcelain subway tile wainscoting, clawfoot tub, and hexagonal floor tile are part of the bathroom remodel plan.

A porcelain console sink like the one pictured above (except with a 3-hole faucet) will also be installed, and is packed in boxes in our 3rd bedroom ("the junk room"), awaiting the start of the bathroom remodel.
