Master Bath and Laundry Room taking shape!

 The work has been nonstop but a lot of it lately is behind the walls stuff.  Electrical, plumbing, gas, etc.  If you remember from earlier posts, we are only restoring 3 of the fireplaces in the house(there were originally a fireplace in every room!) - the living room, dining room, and basement living room.  We will have gas in all of those but only the basement living room fireplace will have the gas logs.  The other 2 will be wood burning but will be able to be converted if we ever want to do that.  Also we will have gas appliances and heating and ac so there are a lot of pipes going in to accommodate all of it.

Upstairs in the 2 bedrooms the closets are getting framed in and wired for lights.  Because there were no closets upstairs we had to add them and decided to do a corner closet with an angled front so it doesn't stick out too much in the room.  I think it will look great when it's done!  The other bedroom has the exact same closet on the other side of the wall.

The room that we are turning into the laundry room and master bathroom has started to look like 2 rooms instead of 1.  You will see in the pictures that the wood floors are covered with a new plywood of sorts and that is because of 3 reasons...first the floors were in pretty bad shape and needed a lot of work to not only be repaired but also leveled, second they were covered with lead paint, and third they are going to be covered in tile.  We hated to cover up the original wood floors there but given all of the issues and decisions going into it we feel that this is what was needed to be done.

 In this picture you are standing at the door from the hallway looking into the laundry room.  It will not have any windows but I don't plan on spending much time in there. ;-)

 This view is looking into the master bath with your back to the front of the house(where the windows are).  That pink door leads to the closet, but since the HVAC is taking up most of the closet we will have to reconfigure it so that will most likely be moved.  

 In this view I am standing in the same spot but turned to the right.  This area in front of the window will be the toilet room - don't worry we will be installing window treatments!  There will be a door on that room but it hasn't been framed in yet.

Here is a nice picture to end the post with.  These are on the neighbors property(which is for SALE if anyone wants to be our neighbors!!) and they are purple and gold(LSU colors!) so I will take that as a good sign!
