SCORE #6, RUSTIC BATHROOMS & A FOUNDATION

Ever see the HGTV show "Rehab Addict", I friggen' love that show! Though ours isn't a rehab project, we're feeling the same kind of passion and creative fire, especially since much of our project involves finding old (and new) treasures, being thrifty and thinking outside of the box.  In a few weeks we are going to New England Demolition & Salvage in New Bedford, MA to look for another sink, doors & wood planks.  We'll be using the planks for some of our walls, much like in this photo (left) and we're also making some barn-style doors.   I found a great tutorial on making our own barn-door hardware, you can check it out at:

This week we are picking up Score #6
After MUCH thought about the color, style and size of the vanity for our master bathroom, we narrowed it down and then hit craigslist.  Our search turned up this simple, sweet, made of real solid wood, double-sink vanity with a marble counter-top.  We originally thought 2 sinks was silly and excessive, but then fast remembered this is a family bathroom, to be shared with Stella, uh-duh!  So we decided on this (photo below); we are all thrilled!  Now we need the faucets and hardware. Thanks to our super-sweet friend Connie for letting us use her truck yet again!

The Foundation is an area where lots of money will be spent, and it's darn necessary cuz it needs to be done right! We found a great local guy who'll be pouring the foundation. The slab will also serve as the floor of our main living area and it will be our heat source so protecting and insulating the heat sink will save us money in the long run on heating costs.
