I have been tardy with updates but there has been quite of bit of progress. We went to Timbertown on the weekend and they let us return 5 boxes of unused flooring and then we also picked out 150 feet of baseboard. The baseboard is a nice 5/8″ thick and about 4″ tall which looks quite nice. I called one of the guys that did the flooring install to come do the baseboards, they only charge $1.50/linear foot to install it so it is fairly cheap to get someone else to do it. He did an awesome job and all that is left is to do some painting.

A tile installer (City Tile) has also been booked to do the tile back splash. The tile is a cool 2 x 8″ subway tile that they are going to do in a 3/4 staggered pattern.

The last big thing ordered for the main floor was the bathroom vanity and mirror. We ended up going with the Benjamin Jr vanity from Art Bathe. We were able to see it in person at a bathroom shop here in Calgary but I ended up ordering it online since it was cheaper that way (thanks to the strong Canadian dollar). We still need to paint the bathroom before the vanity can be put in and that will likely happen this next weekend.
