Refreshing

Well our master bathroom is finally nearly done. We had a toilet replaced and the shower replaced, and as always, these projects turn out to be bigger than we expect and this was no exception. Opening up the shower revealed rot and mold where there was a leak for many years, and studs and insulation had to be replaced, tile re-done, etc, etc. It's the usual story!

Anyway, with new faucets in place, updating the old gold colored ones that were so in fashion twenty years ago with more conventional silver ones, and having a new toilet that works better than the other one is wonderful. Now we're down to the last step - the painting. I've chosen a nice soft yellow to replace the sage green that was in there, which will still coordinate well with the same green that's in the adjoining hallway and bedroom, but give it a nice clean look. Yellow is wonderful when used sparingly - sunny and bright and a very happy color. Perfect for waking up to every morning.

I'm grateful we didn't need to do a complete renovation on this bathroom and now I think we are safe from bathroom work in our future. They should be good for another twenty years and at that point they'll most probably be somebody else's problem!
