We're still a little up in the air to which pattern we will choose with the wainscoting, but we are really leaning towards the left pattern with the mosaic tiles.
The color chart we are really trying to stay with is a classic, but earth tone affect. A friend of mine {Ana} really said it best, "a spa room feel". And thats really what we are trying to achieve. Relax, unwind, breath a little deeper with a tad of a vintage twist to it.
We've started pulling the cabinetry into the garage for stripping & have actually tried 3 different types of stripper to see which was the easiest & most effective with getting the job done. We really like the Jasco brand. It has a jelly consistancy & only took 2 applications to really get down to the wood.
So, the next step will be to really sand them smooth & get them prepped for painting. We are still moving forward with wanting to stain the concrete, but after looking at so, so many options we are going to wait till the tile & paint is complete to ultimately make the decision to which stain. We have to consider that this room as very limited natural light & don't want to turn it into a cave, but do want to make it a very soothing environment.
We've pulled the tub into the garage and Wes will be wet sanding it tomorrow & getting it prepped for the epoxy treament to refinish it. I'm really excited about that. Its been a LOT of prep work & will required loads more, but I'm so eager to see the finished product. The house is like a huge ash tray. I've had to dust probably at least every other day from all the sanding settling around the house. In fact that reminds me that I probably need to replace the AC filter just to help in keeping the air clear. Thank goodness the weather has been cooperative and we've been able to open doors & windows to allow circulation.
Its definitely going to be a process, but so worth it all!
