Christmas vacation in our house was all about ripping out the old shiny pink tile in my spare bathroom. (It is supposed to be our guest downstairs bathroom but because Becca has taken it over as her own, everyone refers to it as "Becca's Bathroom") I am thinking that this whole possessive thing is going a bit far. She actually tried to have an opinion on what the new tile should look like and Nate told her he didn't care what she wanted. I don't live in a home of opinionated people do I?! Now I keep buying rugs and towel sets and taking them back because no one can agree on that either.
After much discussion we picked the tile, ripped out the old (my job cuz I like destroying things) and then cutting and putting in the new. Of course we couldn't just add the new tile on the old base so we ended up stripping and sanding and then more stripping and finally refinishing the cabinet. Of course it actually doesn't look any different cuz we couldn't decide on a new color. Fresh and clean is something anyway. So now we are almost done, it looks great, I am so excited. My husband puts in the grout and after it dries it is the wrong color. Now I debate for days and decide, yep, I can't live with the wrong color so grinding we a go and out comes the old and in went the new. We still have to seal it and it wasn't done by the Pride and Prejudice party but I like it much better. I finished painting the new very boring off tan color because my husband wouldn't let me keep the yellow I liked. I just keep saying clean and fresh, clean and fresh. Besides, neutral base means I can decorate whatever color I want right!
Now if I can just pick a towel color and find a good rug to match!
Next-the bedroom. I have 6 shades of gray that are all actually shades of green and blue. More to come.
