Musing on marraige, housework, home improvements, and such.

The 50’s bathroom makeover begins now!

Ok, so I have a hideous pink and green bathroom (which you can peek at in my header) eek.

So I would like to start the remodel in earnest, and my plan is as follows-

  1. Paint away the pink. This will be changing to a blue/white
  2. Replace the fixtures in the tub and shower
  3. Tear out the toilet, sink/vanity.
  4. Tile the floor.
  5. Replace the toilet, sink/vanity with a toilet that don’t whistle like a tea kettle when flushed, and a sink/vanity that is not awful. Right now my sink is shaped like a shell, and my faucet has wooden handles. Boooo.
  6. Replace medicine cabinet
  7. Install a light over new medicine cabinet.
  8. Install fart fan. (yah, I said it.)

Somewhere in there we need a new window, but I am not sure when that is going to happen, so consider it a footnote the the official list.

So the paint has been done, check out the white/blue. (much better than pink!)

Bathroom Painted!

So now I have to figure out what I am going to do about flooring to match the mint green wall tile. I can’t bring myself to commit to ripping the walls out, so we are just going to make it work.

This is what I have, you can see my current floor, the walls, and the samples I received in the mail (really quick too!)

Tiles for my bathroom floor

This is what I think I want, it’s a glass tile, and I think a green would go best. (White would look best, but I can’t bring myself to do it, it’s so hard to keep it looking clean with the random cat hairs…)

These are the 2 I like best (the 2 on the left)

Mint Great Water Tile

Spa Green Tile

I think I am going to go with the frosted green glass one.

Next step is measuring and ordering!
