The Never-ending Project


Have you ever had a project that just goes on and on and on with no end in sight? For us, it's the downstairs bathroom. It all started this past January, yes, January! You know, the month that was 8 months ago?! I can't tell you how old it is getting to run upstairs everytime you have to go to the bathroom. And if you have visitors, you have to make sure everything is clean upstairs in case they have to use the bathroom.

Well, I am happy to report that Gary and I decided to work in the bathroom this weekend. I painted one wall so that he could build a new shelf. He also finished putting up the crown moulding and trim. The paint color I chose is called Tanbark from Sherwin Williams, and I really like it. I'm planning on doing a wide stripe throughout the room in another SW color called Interface Tan.

Next Steps...

* Finish Caulking
* Paint Walls
* Install Hardy Backer Board
* Install Tile, and...
* Put in Toilet (the one I'm personally waiting for!)

The clawfoot tub will have to wait awhile, but I'm okay with that as long as everything else is in place. We're moving right along... a little slower than a snail's pace.
