On Friday, RI Glass delivered and installed the shower glass and mirror for the downstairs bathroom…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bathroom mirror was installed atop an electronic mirror defogger. It has a heating element to keep the area above the future vanity from fogging up when you take a shower. That’s my clever boy for ya…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The oval hole in the glass at top is where the lit shaving mirror will go. Below that will be a regular electrical outlet…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice, clean aluminum edge divides the glass from the tile…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I posted this once before, but here’s a reminder of what this wall will eventually look like…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the risk of being repetitive, let me remind you of this:

A walnut box/countertop will be open on the end next to the toilet, so we can stash magazines and toilet paper rolls. (No toilet paper holder like in the drawing.) A walnut shelf will stretch from under the sink to the corner of the room where it becomes a bench. Behind the bench is a floor-to-ceiling wall of walnut with a few hooks up high for hanging clothes.

Over on the opposite wall, the shower got its new frameless shower glass. Hard to get a decent shot in this small bathroom but you can see it’s finally looking like a bathroom!

 

The shower base still needs to be topped by a teak slatted shower tray. Actual shower hardware not installed yet.

As always, tried to keep it fairly minimal in here, which is why we went with a frameless design. The metal bar is bolted to the header to keep the heavy sliding door setup sturdy. Closeup of the hardware at the top…

The fixed glass is silicone-mounted right to the tile…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finger-pull on the sliding glass door. No handle to extend into the skinny room! Have I mentioned lately how much I love this tile?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The plumber comes next week to make the shower a working thing and install the wall-hung toilet. Woohoo!
