Time for a change

The great bathroom remodel of '08 starts tomorrow. Craig and his dad are doing it all themselves. I'm excited and nervous about this. I will post pictures of our lovely, slightly updated 1950's bathroom tomorrow. It's pink and cream. BLECH. Pink and cream alone are not bad, but when your tub, sink and toilet are pink, that's another story altogether. When it's finished, it will be navy and white. This is a major undertaking, they're taking the walls down to the studs in places, and fixing some of the plumbing. I'm sure they know what they are doing, but I will be doing much better once this is over.

As long as we've got one remodeling project underway, I'm going to start one of my own. I'm going to start playing with my blog layout today. So bear with me if it gets a little weird looking. I discovered LeeLou designs thanks to another blogger who shares my name (Thanks Sidney!) and I think I'm going to give it a shot. Wish me luck!

Your tushie sits on a pink toilet? Does it feel extra pretty?

I will be living vicariously through your remodel. My bathroom has good colors, but it's older and has shower doors on the tub.

I. Hate. Those. Doors.

And thanks for the heads up on LeeLou!

The pink toilet actually went away earlier this year. We had one of those "mini potty seats" that sits on top of the toilet, Alex closed the lid and flushed when he was done... and flushed the splash shield down the toilet. It was lodged in there so deep we couldn't get it out. So the white toilet was the first step.
We had shower doors at one point too. HATED THEM.

Good luck Sidney. We went through the remodel of both of our bathrooms earlier this year. We got done in 3 weeks and under $4000 by doing our own work. Take a look at:
