New year, new bathroom
We start demo in 10 days. Time to rip out all the unfortunate mistakes of past owners and get back to something that passes for 'classic' rather than 'mid-eighties-crap'.The timing of this is suspect, as starting a major remodeling project when you're 31 weeks pregnant seems to be crazy... especially when I say we and really mean it. It's a total DIY job. From the studs to the plumbing to the electrical, all the work will be done by the husband (who seems to have a handle on the scope of the thing, at least we hope), and to a much, much lesser degree, me. My major input thus far has been the picking out and getting and lining up and buying of stuff- a clawfoot tub, a salvaged potty (I mean a vintage, wall hung tank, saved from destruction in a historic hotel kind of potty), the porcelain mosaic tiles for the floor.
We're trying to keep it relatively close to the period of the house, and as a 1913 mish-mash of styles, I think we're doing alright. I'll be sure to post updates on the progress (or lack thereof), because nobody doesn't like a disaster, right? We'll see about actual photographic evidence.
In pregnancy related news, I seem to be very pregnant. Let's hope that the bathroom project gets done before the baby project, yes?
