Bathroom Shelf

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Hey it’s my 300th post!

Wow, somehow I’m a little more sad about that than celebratory. I just see all that time. Gone. Oh man.

Anyhoo, we custom built a long shelf in the fleshy pink bathroom. I despise stuff cluttering my bathroom counters, but somehow a tastefully arranged shelf seems a little more artful. Plus I’m going to install a little hook to hang my ugly dryer from and some hand towels. The hair dryer drives me bonkers – but not bonkers enough to put it away everyday.

We still need to raise the mirror, install hardware, caulk and paint everything to finish it all off.



Ugh. Bathroom. Hot mess.

In progress

Well, it’s been awhile (5 months! WTF) since I mentioned the fleshy pink bathroom of ill repute. Progress has been made, but not enough to warrant a full scale reveal.

So to recap:

-Paint! We painted…awhile ago.
-Patched holes/fixed plaster! LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS.
-Replaced cabinet handle hardware (although I’m not in love with it – anyone have a recommendations?)
-Installed an Ikea mirror.
-Fixed the shower plumbing

Still to do:

-Install shower curtain track
-Buy a shower curtain
-Install new lighting
-Install long shelf under mirror
-Hang art
-Paint and fix door (maybe get new door hardware?)
-Figure out where to hang towels (get towel hangers, oh and maybe some nice towels for once)
-Get rug
-Caulk shower (again)
-Buy porcelain plates for electrical outlets and such

So, in conclusion – we will continue to just smash lipstick all over this pig.

Stupid pink bathroom. Pink is my least favorite color, even trumping orange. At least I haven’t terrified you with an in depth tour of the other bathroom
