The cottage is now closed until next summer...bummer. I love going to the cottage and am sad to think that I won't be relaxing on the dock for another 6 months. We spent this past weekend driving around prince edward county looking at the beautiful fall colours, visiting some artisan studios, doing a little shopping, drinking a little too much pec wine and visiting the local mircobrewery (Barley Days). When all the fun stuff was done we got to work and closed the cottage up, drained the water system and cleaned up the yard.
Since I have nothing crafty to post (I bought some jewelry making supplies but need to get sheets of silver, copper and brass before new projects get started) I will share some photos of the new bathroom that went in at the cottage in May.
Here is the old bathroom built by my grandfather. A tiny room just big enough for a sink and toilet. And no hot water. Don't you just love paneling?
Here's Alex hard at work taking apart the bathroom. We decided to take out the wall/doorway and extend the bathroom by taking over some of the hallway.
Voila! The new bathroom. After extending the bathroom into part of the hallway we were able to get enough space to add a shower stall. BIG improvement if you've ever had to use the "shower room" off the garage.
Still a tiny room but at least it's now a three piece bathroom with hot water! I really like the tiles we used and the backsplash Alex made. It's hard to see but there is black detailing and a black ceiling that looks pretty neat.
