1) My 3 tests last Thursday: A- in Ethics, 98% in Spanish, and 107% in Art History. Chee! Studying pays!
2) This Friday at 8:00 AM we close on the house. :)
So, I thought I'd do one more blog before then. Presenting, the upstairs bathroom.
This is the one Ryan & I (and guests) will use. I see a major remodel in this bathroom's future. As you can see, it's gray. I once painted a bathroom gray, but it was a "good" gray. Actually, it was a great gray, and the bathroom was stunning. This isn't a good gray. This bathroom is NOT stunning. Not sure what color we'll do, but it won't be gray. Not even a great gray. This sad gray has made me... sad. No more gray allowed in this room.
Most importantly, I must have a new bathtub. No, really. I must. Because of my back regular bathtubs don't work for me. I can't slip down in them and submerge myself. I have to be either lying down flat with my head underwater, or sitting up straight. Try that one on for size. Seriously, picture yourself (not me, please) sitting straight-up in a bathtub. It's no fun. And it's cold. What I need is a deeper tub. It doesn't have to be big around or long, it just has to be deep so I can soak. Maybe something like this, only hopefully not so expensive. We'd have to do some rearranging, but we plan to take out the vanity, so that should help. There's more room in there than it appears in these pictures.
The floor is so 80's it hurts. Of course I will probably put in (heated) tile. I'm a tile girl, what can I say? And then there's the sink situation. It's okay. I mean, it'll do for now, but eventually? Oh man, eventually! My friend Sarah does BEAUTIFUL pottery, and I have already asked her if she would do a free-standing ceramic sink for me. Wouldn't that be GORGE?! I'm thinking a natural, perfectly imperfect clay sink sitting atop a smaller counter with dark pebble or rock tile.
Could those BE any more awesome?! No. No, they couldn't. We'd divert the pipes so the tap would be in the wall above the sink.
Yeah, I know, major work. But I'm allowed to dream (and save my pennies) am I not?

CONGRATS on those wonderful test scores! And you're so right about that bathroom - no more gray - "because you're worth it!" :) Love all your ideas, and you're just the one to make them a reality. You go girl. Happy signing.
