Hi Guys,
I've been working on two bathroom renovations in my house. The first is a new master bath, and thought I would post some photos of the floor. It was a tough choice to go with wood, but we could not resist. This is going to be a low-traffic-adults-only area (I can dreaming anyway). I have a couple of coats of Waterlox down, and one coat of Shellac. Not real happy with the shellac, and the fixtures get installed on Tuesday, so there is only a little bit of corrections I can get in before the plumber. For good or bad, I've done everything but the plumbing...
I made the nosing, and there is a simple walnut counter for an "above counter" basin. It looks pretty sweet when the sink-counter are put together. The floor is raised to accomidate the plumbing, and I chose this method to make the space a little more "private" feeling.
The marble island I'm standing on is for the toilet, I was worried about sweating from the toilet. When I put this in I became a bit worried that it would overpower the wood, now it looks down-right-dreary next to the wood.
The wood is 4 inch quartersawn walnut, bought through West Penn Hardwoods. It was actually milled by a place in OH, nice milling, nice wood, bad shipping. I had a fair amount of damage, and had just enough material to finish.
Anyway, the pics..
