Before and After

I finally completed the most persnickety details of our bathroom remodel: applying a finish to the framed walls around the whirl tub. The only task remaining to complete the remodel is installing the vanity when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

It took me the better part of six days to cut, whitewash, and apply the irregular sections of wood around the whirl tub. The two 45-degree outside corners didn’t make the process any easier. I initially wanted to use stacked stone around the tub, but I needed ready access on one side in case the pump for the jets fails or acts up in some way. Desiree and I ultimately decided to use wood to create something resembling stacked stone. By using wood, I was able to construct a removable panel on one side, secured by just four screws, for easy access.

I’ve posted a series of three photographs from the project.
