Coffeegoddess' Bathroom remodel

One of the bathrooms in the doublewide was aging badly.  The plumbing all worked, but the self-stick linoleum floor was coming up from the decking, and the printed wallboard was... lets say unattractive.

So, for Christmas 2010 I gave Coffeegoddess a bathroom remodel.  Like all my unfinished projects, this one languished for a year before I got it done, but here are some works in progress.  most of this work was done in November 2011, trying to get ready for thanksgiving last year.

Here's a new floor going in, including the bathroom, the hallway, and the linen closet.  The flooring material is a self-stick linoleum, a "premium" material.  It's pretty thick, and takes a 1/8" grout-line.  The material surface has a stone or tile look to it.

The centerline run, to keep things straight



Bathroom floor is complete.  once the grout sets we will remount the old toilet. 

That white splotch on the wall was behind the toilet tank, I could not reach it with the brush when I was painting. 

In this photo, next to the doorjamb, you can see the paint color for the bathroom is a light beige, and the original printed wallboard is this vertical stripe of leaves and flowers.  Glad that is gone. 


I removed most of the trim pieces from the doorways as we will be painting this hallway area, and the trim pieces were in the way of the flooring anyway. 



The linoleum will meet the laminate floor in this doorway. I need a threshold strip to cover the gap, as there is a difference in height in the two materials.  Same thing where the linoleum will abut the carpet, I suppose.
