This is the bathroom on the upstairs floor. We made a step up, because, we wanted the downstairs ceilings to be open with the beams and wood showing. So a step up to cover the pipes to the bathroom seemed fitting for this bathroom. It still isn’t finished, I have black 16inch tile to lay. I wanted to use stone, but everything I brought home looked so blah. I picked the black so it would give it more life, right now you just see the pine boards, but as soon as my husband is staisfied that he did a great job with the plumbing and nothing leaks, I will put the tile down on the floor. We still have to put the perma chink into the beveled edges on the log walls. The railing that is holding the door I will put a finish on it that will match the color of the lights , and 1 peice of trim goes behiind the comode when I lay the tile. My Mom and Dad gave us a new vanity that they had bought and didn’t use. I wasn’ going to use it because the color was all wrong. So I took the doors and the sides of the vanity apart and replaced them with some that I made for it. I cut all of the pieces of the sides and doors on the table saw. I also carved the carving that is on the door for it.
The tub surround my husband built…........he had me carve a carving to go on his surround…......I felt it was too small after I got it done and used it on my vanity instead. So now I owe him a carving to go on his tub surround….......shhewwwwww, a womans work is never done!
I was hesitant about putting this on and it not done, but I thought everybody still may enjoy seeing it unfinished and when it is done I will put more photo’s of it on lj’s.

Very Nice. Not sure I would have gone with a glass door…but my kids don’t knock anyway!

Haha yea, mine has a problem with that also…..........we are going to sand blast the glass, We took paint stencels and taped them about 3 times with masking tape I recut the holes in the design and my husband sand blasted the design on one side, and sand blasted it solid on the otherside. You can see the design on both sides of the door but you cannot see through the glass…........pretty cool trick. we have a glass pocket door in the down stairs bathroom and that is what we did with it. It looks pretty good.

Beautiful, Robin!
Really like the sliding door idea. You end up with much more usable space!

Robin; Another nice addition to the house! I really elements where you can see the functioning hardware as in your rolling hanging door.
Question: is the carving instralled a tad low on the vanity or is it the angle of the photo?
Anyway, nice work and thanks for sharing.

Looks great. I really like the sliding door being out like that instead of just a pocket door.

Hi Lew….....thank you!
Hi…..ratchet….......thanks, it is the angle of the photo, I put the carving evenly on the door. I have a problem when something is not even…....drives me crazy. I used a wide angle lens and in such a small space it distorts just a tad.
Hi Chris! Yes the sliding door is very cool, my husband wasn’t wanting to put another pocket door in, and I told him why don’t you do it like you did the barn doors at the barn, and he did. It worked out very well. I think it added to the bathroom. The bathroom is the shed dormer on the back of the house, it is about a 9×9 space.

Very nice, I love those floors myself, but I guess tile might work too. Might I suggest a wood face over the door rail rather than trying to match the light?

Hi Patron….........haha, thanks so much.
Thank You Big Sky, and Karson.
BeachedBones, Thanks….........I thought about a wood surround, but then I decided that I would try to match the lights, so I would have the metal and wood look, Kinda break up all the wood. I used sheet rock through part of the house to add some color to my walls, I was afraid I would get tired of all the wood.
Thanks Allistar,Socalwood,Dennis, Dick and Barb….......I appreciate all your comments.

Wow, your place is just beautiful. I’ve beenn watching for awhile. My weekend place is on the river and goes under water every once in awhile. Like every 10 years or so. Cant do anything real nice there. Your place looks like a home, not a cabin. I think it is a home. I would love to have a place like that. It looks like you and your husband are a great team., Like us. Keep up the good work and keep posting pictures. Your house is something to be proud of.

Hi Janice!
Thanks so much for your nice comment. Yes, my husband and I work pretty good together. The inside work is a little more slow and tedious…...we have been working on our home for over 5 years now. Yes I am very proud to accomplish what we have on the house with out killing one another. All of our hard work will pay off down the road, and that is what I think ….. keeps us going on it. My most favorite part is going to be decorating it, I have 3 bedrooms already decorated, my mom has made all of the curtains, and we even some apholstry on an old sectional that looks to me of a french design…..it turned out very nice. I will try and post it later on.
