What else can a girl ask for?
If you ask me which room I spend most time in on a daily base, my answer is firm and resounding: bathroom!
Mission Accomplished! - phase 5
A few days before move-in, things all looked good. Love the interior window, which gives a unique spatial definition.
Another opening was built out beneath the stairs. It would provide access to the shoe storage that would be created later.
All eight cubbies were tiled with glass mosaic, shimmering under the lighted soffit.
The screen on the right side of the picture covers HVAC closet. The screen was originally a room divider from Crates & Barrel. I bought a floor sample at half of the original price. My contractor built out a track system outside the HVAC closet to hold the divider. The outcome looked great .
The color of the foyer tiles is oliver. To make the patten more interesting, I inserted two lines of glass mosaic which is the same as that for wall cubbies.

Manhattan Rainbow
Yesterday, I had my first live witness of rainbow from the window of my new home - pure spectacular! The panoramic was a combination of three pictures taken from different angles. Really wish I could do a better job with PS. Maybe it's worth some time learning since most likely the unbelievable view of west Manhattan from my new home will generate much more gorgeous visual products from now on!

Mission Accomplished! - phase 4
Floor was in, kitchen appliances were installed.
Two small openings were cut out on the wall between shower room and powder room to encourage rhythmic flow of the design as well as air circulation.
The teak wainscot makes the laundry room feel homey and cozy. It also gives a nice wood smell that keeps bugs away.

Mission Accomplished! - phase 3
Next came wall painting and tiling. When I first told my contractor that I'd like to have eight different colors for the unit, he thought that was a joke. Once he realized I was being absolutely serious, he insisted that it was a "custom paint" job and I had to pay extra for that, but I pointed out to him that the statement "paint throughout unit"on the contract did not specify the number of paint. After several rounds of intense negotiation, I finally gave up and paid additional 2 grand for wall painting. Though expensive, the job was done beautifully.
The bathroom is a big part of the entire project. Original bath tub was completely removed to give way to a new shower room. The wall was covered with glass mosaic and a long shelf was built in the wall.
The espresso colored vanity was picked up from Expo Design Center and to be tiled with glass mosaic as well.
Kitchen cabinetry was another surprise for my contractor when I announced that I would order from IKEA. I am sure the chance of meeting a client who demands both "custom paint" and IKEA kitchen is pretty rare to my contractor. I nevertheless managed to make him put aside his Hoboken contractor ego as well as the popular bias against IKEA among all contractors and learn to work with IKEA kitchen.
