Let me preface this post with the fact that I know I’m fortunate to be able to remodel parts of my house… but this is all new to me. I’ve heard the horror stories about the process – the disarray and stress related to it – but what the heck do you do if something isn’t quite right?

The color of the grout in the bathroom is driving me crazy! The shower wall tiles are white. The tile lady recommended a very light gray colored grout for the area. It looks dirty to me. And per my instruction, the tiles are put up in a “brick” layout, as opposed to evenly lined up. That may be fine with a “Chicago subway” tile, but it really looks like poo-poo with 6″ squares. But I can live with that part.

It’s the damn gray grout.

Without “regrouting” and/or tearing everything down (if that’s even possible), I seem to recall something about painting over it? or some way to change the color, I don’t know…

Then, because it’s a small bathroom, the tub is almost too wide to hang the shower curtain and not have it touch the vanity light (the hot vanity light). But then again (thinking out loud here), how long would I have the lights on that the heat would do anything to the curtains? Just looks silly.

Just got through talking to Mumsy on the phone for awhile. What a difference it makes venting to someone else. All of the stuff that I wrote above? Forget most of it – I was using you guys for my sounding board. I hesitate sharing my thoughts on the subject with hubby. He just “wants me to be happy,” and by telling him what I’ve been thinking, he was getting upset. Looking at the bathroom in the fresh daylight, I guess it’s really not that bad.

Geesh, what a merry-go-round!

Ok then, carry on my friends. Have a great weekend!

I figured I’d better stop in if only to delete the spam.

Soooo many choices. Decisions decisions. How in the world am I supposed to choose a counter top color when there’s so many that I like??

The upstairs bathroom is being tiled as we speak. Seems to be taking a long time ‘cos of the holiday weekend in the midst of it. Next week the kitchen demo begins! We picked out all of our appliances yesterday – and a dishwasher. It was almost as much as just putting a cabinet in its place, so sure – stick a dishwasher in there. Not that we’ll ever use it much except for holidays, ya know? Speaking of appliances, I just finished a site for a client who restores antique refrigerators. Classic Refrigerator – cool, huh?

I’ll put some horrific “before” pics of the kitchen later – 3 inch dust layers n’ all. In the meantime, wanna see our Rosie baby at 9 mths? Hubby constructed a big ol’ pvc pole in the backyard for her to tug and pull on. Then the toy on the end starts spinning around in circles and she runs all over the place trying to catch it. Good exercise!

Okee doke, have a great day guys. Talk soon.

I never particularly cared for Flickr, but I caved in and have populated my page with a few new and old photos. Most importantly, our whirlpool tub was installed today – yay. Wanna see? Then you can see how creepy the stripped bathroom looks in general – ewwww.

Ok, back to Greys!

I am procrastinating. Trying to get myself in the mood to go through allll of the kitchen cupboards and the dining room to get rid of anything that I haven’t used in the last… mmm… year? This is the week the work begins on the upstairs bathroom and the kitchen. I’m excited and dreading it at the same time.

Hubby talks smart and says to just get rid of EVerything. If we need it, we’ll buy new ones. Ya, right. He talks smart, but do you know how long it takes to accumulate some of those oddball utensils, and cupcake tins (do you know how long it’s been since I made a freakin’ cupcake??). But I suppose he’s right.

Purple Heart is picking up the dining room table this week too. That has definitely gotten plenty of use. I got it from my mom how long ago, so it has seen better days. blahblah. I must get in the mood here folks.

Did I show you the completed downstairs bathroom? The photos are kinda weird looking ‘cos I had the heat lamps on for the pics – just seemed to show everything better, although they also look a little more orangey than the bathroom really is. It also doesn’t look like that big of a deal because I didn’t take any “before” pictures, which would have been much more impressive if you had seen how icky messy the old version was. Anyhoo, here they are.

Maybe I should go out, drive around the block, get a Starbucks, then come back home all motivated n’ stuff, yes? OH, know what else? Yesterday on my way to save lives, I was a tad early getting to Starbucks with a few minutes before they opened… well, as I was sitting there, one of my Barista friends walked out with a Venti cup o’ brew, came to my car, and proceeded to hand me the cup. “Here ya go. You just take half n’ half, right?”
Wasn’t that so sweet?? I had to get out anyway ‘cos I needed to add some Equal, but that’s just about the best customer service I’ve had in a long time! They’re so good to me. ((love for Starbucks))

Ya, think that’s what I’ll do. There’s also a new (not new-new, but relocated) art gallery moving in around the corner. Gotta drive by and take a peek – that’s pretty darn exciting to me too. whooppeee.

Ok, ok, I’m outta here – c’ya! And Happy Mom’s day to all if I don’t see you tomorrow!!
