Sandy's Bathroom Renovations

As a stuffy, one has an onerous job keeping up on events in a household. I was happily sitting at the computer editing my submission for Little Fox's 1st Annual Stuffy Film Festival when I heard some weird noses coming from the bathroom. At first I tried to ignore it... but it got a bit too noisy, so I had to go investigate...

Uh-oh... I see a few cans of paint and a new handheld shower head... Are we doing a reno??

Yes we are!! Oh my goodness...

The laminate floor has been ripped out, revealing vintage 70s vinyl flooring. What is that stuff???

The cabinet doors are gone...

Whew... at least the tub is still here. But apparently we are getting a new tub and surround in about a week...

Oh... and the cabinet doors, which were just plain Jane... are now getting a bit of 1/4" mdf trim to make them look kind of shaker style.

A few nail holes have to be filled... and there is still sanding, caulking and painting to do.

Honestly... why does no one consult me?? I am the supervisor of such projects! Ah-hem... am I the only one to notice that not all the laminate flooring has been ripped up? Ahhh... apparently we have to take out the toilet to get at that stuff and we are leaving that till the last minute... OK.

And then there is a lot of spackling to be done. We have the stuff that goes on pink and turns white when it is dry - cool!!! I had a look at the paint colour for the walls and approve. It is called "Cloud of Volcanic Ash"! Is that not a cool name? Grey Drizzle and Freezing Rain were two other options but I think Mama pushed the vote in a geological rather than a meteorological direction! I will post more as the project proceeds...
