backwards first ~ a visit to the remodeled cave

Our most recently completed project was a full remodel of our master bathroom. "The Cave" ~ as I previously referred to it, suffered from a lack of imagination and the cost cutting mentality of the original builder. Clown lights (a chrome strip with multiple bulbs sticking straight out), a fiberglass walk-in shower, plastic medicine cabinets, no vanity hardware......you get the picture.


These are pictures of the finished and completely remodeled bathroom. I like the mirror shot because it allows the viewer to see both ends of the bathroom in one click. The cast iron clawfoot bathtub was bought from a dealer in Tamaqua PA. and rests on a 6" raised platform. All of the faucets, sinks, hardware, etc. were bought off ebay. The sinks are made by "Crane" and are china. The wall tiles were installed in a wainscot style with a matching tile countertop. I antiqued the vanity which was light maple in color.

1 year later.......

Buy the house, live in it, improve it, sell it. A too common theme and very impractical for such practical people. We decided to do it different this time. Could we possibly take such a radical departure? We tried and we have succeeded..........so far. This time we bought the house, have improved every room, now plan to live in it and enjoy the fruits of our labors ~ and will sell when the time comes. So, as you have probably guessed by now, the Chronicles of Cornville blog was created to keep our family and friends in tune and up-to-date on the lives of Stash & Kaneke and Molly too. Enjoy, visit often, and feel free to add your $.02 worth whenever the urge hits you.
