Re-thinking the Upstairs Floors.

Well I don't know why I didn't do this earlier, but at least it's done now. And I love when people say, I was going to say something, but just didn't. Tell me please, tell me! At first I thought I would just replace the guest room floor due to water damage.  I would restore the hal;l and two other rooms.  I kept looking at it, asking myself, why would I go this far and restore fifty year old tile?. With that thought fresh, I called my friend Shawn and he was glad to assist. Shawn has done both bathrooms and the rest of the house.  I  ripped the floor and gathered all the tiles to dispose of, he leveled and installed new tile to match the rest of the first floor and second. I love the way it appears to float.So easy to maintain.

The Medicine Cabinets Re Silvered and Installed

Both of the bathrooms had the original medicine cabinets, the downstairs bathroom has one that hangs on the wall, the upstairs bathroom cabinet sets inside the wall.  I decided that instead of having new glass cut and drilled for the pulls I would re silver the original mirrors. Not too many places these days still re silver, and if they do you will pay big dollars. Silver has gone up immensely over the last few years. The place I took mine to was fairly close, but in a bad area of town. (park in the bank)

 I took the four mirrors in and it took about 3 weeks to get them back. Well worth the wait, to have them cut would have been just around the same amount of money, but the glass would not have been as thick. I'm happy with the results and just love the cabinets. I love the old green textured glass, stainless trim rim and tiny stainless pulls.Heres what they looked like prior to me refininishing them. 

 

 After a bit of work, cleaning the paint off the stainless, and rerpainting the inside, cleaning the glass and re silvering the mirrors, just like new.
