What a mess
So for Christmas, my siblings and I decided to refresh/redo/whatever our parents bathroom. I wish that this idea had come up in October or September or something, so that we would have had some time to think through and plan everything, but no, we came up with this on Thanksgiving. As a result, now we have to hustle a little bit to get done with everything. I guess on Christmas day we will just put a big piece of wallpaper over the door or something, and make my mom tear it down. I don’t know.
When we started out we were just going to: replace the lighting & fan, remove the wallpaper, get a new towel rack, tp dispenser, shower curtain, etc. You know, we were keeping it minimal. It has ballooned a little. Now we are tiling 3 walls (there are 10 walls in that bathroom), and running the tile border around the rest of the walls (I don’t know how bad that will look), removing mold from, priming, sealing, and painting all the walls.
Don’t get me wrong, I am always up for a challenge. But some of this stuff, ok well most of this stuff, I have never done (or even attempted) for that matter. Tiling for example, I don’t know the first thing about. I have always wanted to learn, and this will be a great learning experience for me, but reading about it online, and actually doing it are generally two different things. Luckily, my friend Jackie, has a plethora of information on this topic, and actually wrote a blog entry about tiling. Hopefully that will be enough to steer me in the right direction.
I have already started with the removal of the wallpaper. Got to get going here if I intend to finish before the big day (I should probably do my xmas shopping soon too). I will be adding pictures to my photostream as work continues.
