We're nearing the end of month three of our small bathroom renovation now (don't ask!) and I've become so used to people walking in and out of my back door I feel as though I'm working at
a train station or something. The screen is constantly left open and all manner of creeping things appear inside the house lately. On the cool days I've learned to wear a sweater lest I freeze while working on paperwork or paying bills or other duties that require sitting for any length of time. Fortunately its late spring now so most days are fairly comfortable.
I think perhaps by the end of this week they may be done, but I hesitate to even say that because I don't want to jinx things. Once their work is complete it will be up to us to paint and hang a curtain, and then restock what is traditionally the busiest bathroom in the house. This is the bathroom visitors use and friends have been known to stop and use when they're in the village on errands, always feeling free to come in whether anyone is home or not. I try to always keep it clean for that reason and the new neutral decor will assist with that job. I love the way its looking but I long for them to be done traipsing in and out all day. I feel as though I'm being observed all the time, even though I know they have absolutely no interest in my comings and goings. It will be nice to have my space back.
Renovating is always an interesting time. I enjoy getting to know the people who work on these projects and its odd once they're done to never see them again. But...I'm ready to be done with this little bathroom and once its done I'll be so glad!
