So, what’s new with you?

bored & curious husband
Thought I’d give a little update on the bathroom situation. See what happens when Ron is dying of curiosity and I’m not gonna stop him?
This spot is behind the door and juts out into the room because the chimney is behind it. I stood on the tub to take this. The door smacks right into the toilet, so we’ll be rearranging some fixtures too. Yep, we’ll be gutting the room – as long as we can afford it.

I’ve hunted down the tile I want for the bathroom: now I have to find out how much it costs and adjust my plans accordingly. (Or be really really nice to Ron and bend him to my will – but you never heard me say that.) To give you an idea of the look I’m going for – I already told Ron I’ll have to do a storyboard or something, check out the following:
wall tile
floor tile
Overall look-and-feel, minus the wall color. Floor is slightly different, but this is close.
Wall color is a very light soft green, like hancock green here. I already bought it, but the manufacturer’s site doesn’t show it.
style of tub (not from there though)
a sink either a pedestal or a basin on a cabinet. (But not with that price tag! Holy smokes!)

And as a bonus for bearing with me, here’s some gratuitous Emma.

Now it’s time to do lunch, errands and groceries. I should probably get dressed.

    I think its going to look lovely and also really fresh.

    Love it!!! It’s exactly the style I like, even though my house is alot younger. We are looking at an American Standard white pedestal sink and accessories to match.

    Might I suggest a Teapot faucet for the sink.
    It’s a reproduction of a Victorian one.
    I will email a picture that is similar to our new one.
    Cost around 40 dollars at Kents.
