So we are still not done with the bathroom, but we are getting there. We have to grout the tub surround, then seal all of the grout, get the new toitie fully installed, and finish painting. I am sore and ready to be all done. But I know when we finish, I will move to the next room. I am a glutton for punishment, but it really needs to be finished.
I saw Mrs. Cohen, my HS History teacher, on facebook. She asked me if I ever turned out to be a medical illustrator. Art and Science were my fave subjects and where I excelled (not history Mrs. Cohen :) I couldn't believe she remembered that. I told BM that since I put down the sketchbook and paintbrush all these years, I was expressing my artistic side in our homes. Much to his dismay. He is a patient, kind husband. Props to you baby.
So soon I will post pictures of our newly tiled/painted bathroom. Happy almost end of January.

BUSSSYYYYYY
Wow, I haven't written in almost a month! Time do fly. We had a really great holiday season. I was sure we were going to be homesick and lonely, but Sue came to visit with us for awhile right before Christmas, and then Lizzie was here not but a few days later! We had a great time having family here and I will get some pics up soon. Lizzie just went home yesterday, so we haven't done any of that yet.
We did, however, repaint our entire front room/entry, upstairs hall. We also gutted our entire master bath. Did I tell you there was carpet in there? That is just wrong. It was very old and very gross. We have chosen new tile for our floor, shower, and tub surround. We are getting all new fixtures, toilet, etc. We also chose our new bedroom wall color.
The house is really coming together. We like our new colors and tiles a lot...nothing like making your house your home. After this I only have to paint the other bathrooms and the office. The new flooring will go in last...we will put bamboo flooring in the entire house (aside from the basement which already has laminate). I have wood in the kitchen now but I think we will put tile in later, I like tile in those high abuse areas.
