Master Bathroom

Thanks Dave!
As promised, here are some photos of our finished main floor bathroom. It has been 'finished' for about a month, but we have been putting final touches on here and there. I still have 2 pieces of trim to put on. Can you find them?
Our design was 'beach/ocean'. The floor looks like a boardwalk, but is actually porcelain tiling. The shower was designed to give the feel of showering in a waterfall. The bottom of the vanity matches the shelf I built for the dryer (boardwalky look).
All in all we are super thrilled with how it turned out.
I will show some photos of our old bathroom in my final update where I show before and after for everything.
I present these in 'before' and 'after' again.
We got this dryer on craigslist for $150. The guy told us it was bought for over $900 4 years ago and that it still worked. It actually had a couple problems which rendered it broken ! The power button was broken so I glued it back in place with plastaid. It also needed a new belt and slides. So I know the inside and out of this dryer. It works a lot better than our old one!
The dent in the washer was there when we bought it. That's how we got it for over 50% off.
I built the shelf for the dryer out of scrap 2x4 and we just painted it white to match everything. I attached 2 boards running along each wall, and have just one leg in the front. Then just attached the boards running across. Simple, elegant design and we like it a lot.
DW made all the hoop decorations. A jellyfish, a seahorse, a clam and a starfish.
The yellow fish are vintage 1960's from a relative.
I am finally finished with all the structural work in the ceiling of our living room so now I can begin putting up lights and then will be insulating this weekend. Monday and Tuesday I'm off work again to put in 2 more windows on the south side of the room. Then it's just electrical, insulation, vapor barrier, drywall, paint and we are done!!
I'll put up a photo once we are painted and then show everyone once we have carpet in all the rooms. Just a few more weeks.
