Sorry took so long to update....These are some photos of the bathroom, although it was still not completely finished at the time these were taken. The door and shelves have been stained a Carbon gray gel stain that almost perfectly matches the vanity. I used 8" white shiplap through out. The wall lights purchased through Lowe's online. The mirror purchased at Pier 1. The shower tile feature is carrera marble patterned, and a sea grey tile purchased at 'The Tile Shop' in Urbandale, Iowa. The laminate wood floors are from Home Depot in Mushroom? or the next grayer color. The vanity is 60" dark grey with carrera marble top, sink, and faucet included. I changed the knobs. I think I ordered from Houzz but can't remember. It's also on Wayfair. It all looks better in person than in the photos. I don't love that the toilet is right in the middle as you open the door but I didn't want the hassle of changing the layout/footprint of the bathroom. Overall I am happy with my choices. The mirror is a little fancy to me but my husband loved it and the design echos the patterned shower tile so I went with it.

I loved that turtle rug! It was impressive. So I guess “baby” is 9 years old now! Your comment about using recycled wool reminded me of a quilt my grandmother made for me in the 40s. All wool squares sewn together, no particular pattern. The back was flannel which fell off in time and with use. I have to talk myself into putting a new back on it, but my heart really isn’t into it Thanks for the reminder of this unfinished project. Hope you don’t mind the hijack.

many diff ways to do it. I'd prob paint the risers instead of a laminate. this looks pretty good take a look at the pics maybe some of the videos will help you decide https://tilen.space/can-you-install-vinyl-flooring-on-stairs/ notice the finished sides on this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RUvl1yPUCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1poE8dn10
