Rome Wasn't Built In A Day...

...But Salt Wall was built in 4.



Above is a shot from the back.

Yep, today was a big day. Kel and I snuck up to the second floor for a peak of our master bedroom, ensuite bath, guest bath and two other bedrooms. While the rooms will look VERY different when we move in, the views won't change a bit.

The upstairs was much bigger than I anticipated it being. Even the attic looked quite spacious.

Louann: Here's a look at your guest room!

And your bathroom (the window on the right):

The window on the left (above) is the double window for the master bath that will go above the Clawfoot Tub that we JUST bought this evening from a young couple in Wakefield, Mass. - just 20 minutes away. This "find" saved us upwards of $1,500!


I can't tell you how much online research I did on clawfoot tubs. I'm sure you all believe me.

This is an American Bath Factory tub made of Acrastone, a trademarked porcelain-like material that doesn't chip and warms up just like cast iron. But it doesn't weigh 600 lbs like cast iron does and doesn't look like plastic. We'll probably refinish the feet before we move it from my parents' garage to 3 Salt Wall Lane.

As you can see we had some fun on the way home...


We love the European telephone handle shower fixture!

The tub barely fit in the CRV - door is ajar and my canvas bag is serving as a buffer.

To quote the famous lyricist Ice Cube, "It was a good day."

  1. Wow, really exciting. I drove by this morning before heading to work. Can't believe how much they got done just today.
