Second Floor Bathroom

A BUMP OUT OF GLASS TILE IS FRONT AND CENTER IN THIS LIGHT AND AIRY BATHROOM

The second floor bathroom was the second bathroom we tackled.  To make a renovation a little more complicated, older homes present a myriad of issues to overcome.  For example, most rooms are small compared to newly constructed homes.  But what we lacked in actual room size, we gained in ceiling height which gives this room an airy feel that makes it seem larger than it actually is.  To amplify this, we tiled the entire space to 8 feet using 15.5-inch by 4-inch ceramic tile.  Then, we chose the details very carefully to augment that feeling including a glass surround shower, a sink with an open bottom, a custom mirror that is inset into the tiled wall, and a recessed lighted medicine cabinet.  The end result is a timeless space that, in my opinion, is just about perfect in every detail.

My favorite feature in this bathroom?  Two words:  Heated floors!

Yikes!

About 2 tons of debris was removed from this room--most of it because a floor was poured on top of a floor on top of a floor

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
