My saint of an uncle has been working his saintly tail off (I would guess saints don't have butts) though and he has done some amazing work. He's painted the walls, the sink and toilet are ready to be installed and the lights are going up. Check out what I shared on Instagram late last week.
Bam. So good, right? I was close to laying on that floor and giving it a little kiss, okay a big kiss. But then someone mentioned shopping and I was out the door. Aside from that blasted shower we are ready for the pretty to enter the room. I even got a call from the shower curtain lady that the shower curtain is ready. Happy Day!
And speaking of shopping, we've acquired a few goodies for the soon to be world's best looking small guest bath, condo edition.
I know you've been thinking, "what this bath needs is a bamboo pagoda shelf thingy" and you are right. I picked it up in a store I always claim 'never has anything good'. That'll show me to make those kind of statements.
We also picked up this lovely lady, and her husband. Their colors in person are blow-your-mind amazing, so I'll be giving tours on reveal day so everyone can see them in their full glory. Who's bringing the drinks?
So that's all I have to share this week. Not much progress but damn we're close. I can feel it. Mostly in my lower back.
Be sure to check in with all the other great ladies to see how things are moving on their rooms.
That tile is gorgeous! These setbacks always seem to pop up just as we're headed toward the finish line, don't they? Can't wait to see it all pulled together!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I love the tile floor, the "bamboo pagoda shelf thingy"! Good luck with the rest of the tile, I hope you find someone, but either way this room is going to be eons away from where it started (and you can pull the new shower curtain closed if it's not done!)
ReplyDeleteI love that tile! So sorry about your contractor issues and I hope it gets resolved asap. Love your finds and it IS going to be the best guest bathroom! Best of luck this week! xo Nancy
