Framing & Electrical

The guest house work has been moving rapidly into framing, electrical and plumbing phases.  The bathroom framing now defines the spaces, separating the small future kitchen (right) and the built-in bed area (left).  Brian finished the rough plumbing for the bathroom.  We will have a wall mount faucet from Chicago Faucets and a semi-recessed Lacava sink with a small open vanity. The countertop will be walnut like the kitchen. The bathroom is only 5x8, so the details matter. I've selected a 4x8 white subway tile, and I am leaning towards a black grout.  The lighting plan is fairly simple. We will have small cans throughout and two Barn Light Electric warehouse sconces on the large south wall.  In addition, I bought 4 vintage Crouse Hinds explosion proof sconce lights for the loft from a seller on Ebay. They came from a utility tunnel from a Kentucky dam circa 1944.  I think it's important to introduce old elements into a new space so there are connection points between new and old.
