I'll pass that on! They would probably do it for free beer!
I'm starting to regret the color. I think the lighting is making it look brighter than it should. I'm hoping once everything is installed it will tone it down. Either way, I'm living with it for awhile and see if I change my mind. I already have plans of painting it a cream color when I put the house up for sale but I hate to do that until I'm ready. Cream would be so easy to show dirt. |

| Mindy, SO nice!! Who cares if the trim takes a while longer, at least you have a working bathroom again and it is VERY pretty! I love the sink and the cabinets on either side of the mirror! |

| So made a little bit of progress on the bathroom. LOL! Laundry shoot is tiled  Bought matching rugs  Fixed wrongly installed towel bar.  I want to buy picture to put above the towel bar. I'm looking for a big white flower with the shades of blue and brown in it. Let me know if you see anything like that. I also need to paint the heating vents. Should I do white, tan or dark brown? |

| and yes, I aleady have to patch my new walls. I won't repeat the cusswords I used when I realized the towel bar was not installed properly therfore causing the damage.
Oh and I found my new towels that will compliment the room as well. When I get them bought I will post pics. |

| The chute looks great! Try Hobby Lobby or TJ Maxx for the picture. I had great luck at TJ Maxx when I was decorating my bathroom back in OKC, and Hobby Lobby runs really good sales most of the time. _________________  |

I've never heard of Ross. I will have to look that up online. I'm surprised with how easy the tiling is.

| So after all this hardwork...I think I'm going to go ahead and put the house on the market. I don't have enough for a down payment on a new home yet so I will have to rent for a few years. That might seem crazy but I can rent in the town I work in which means no more commuting and I would be just minutes away from two brand new dog parks and a great walking/hiking trail that spreads throughout the city. There is still a list of things that need to be done to the house but if I try to perfect the house, I will never be able to move. I'm going to go apartment hunting to make sure I can find a decent pet friendly rental and then I will bring the realtor over to see what I can sell the house for. Wish me luck! |
