Guest bath, green

Spottless. Now both bathrooms are complete-lighting, shelves, mirrors. I still love the green & white as it is crisp & cool. Clean, and not blue like a swimming pool. That evokes a whole set of other memories. The tub is deep and wide. Again, I don't see myself ever using it, but I am sure someone will eventually be in there.All the doors have been shimmed and painted so they are as good as new. The new sink isn't as charming as the old pedestal sink, but oh well. That was then, this is now. Currently contemplating on a lobster "hancock tower" from CB2 to fill my storage needs-saw it in lincoln park yesterday but didn't get it as the 76"long box would have had difficulty squeezing into my not-so-clean jetta. Maybe, when it stops raining, we can get it in the wrangler from the warehouse in aurora?

MAster BAth, again

It was essential to save this tub. Why, nostalgia I guess. We don't use nor as you can tell, does it have plumbing yet. The high ticket item can wait for an indefinite period of time. Until then, it will sit as the centerpiece of the bathroom. I promised myself to keep it tidy & not sort or store my laundry in it! To the left is the shower and fancy "watercloset." For now, the shower has a thin liner (until of course a rimless glass hinged door can be added; this can wait til the tub is in place. In the meantime, we just hope to not pull down the curtain rod! I don't have many products, but you can see a bit of clutter on top of mini floor cabinet-it's final destination still to be determined!

And finally, the mirrors have been hung after 2 months sitting on the floor waiting...for what? not sure...but the stud finder seemed to work, we didn't burst any pipes, and I can perform all my morning duties in one location. It has been quite a while, maybe 5 years to be exact, that I was able to do everything in one place; and that bathroom in the city certainly wasn't pretty!

Let there be light!

Fixtures from restoration showed up today after a 4 month backorder. Now, maybe when the rain stops falling & everyone gets back from vacation, we can get some outdoor lighting up for action. We still need a porch light for the fron, but can't find something we like that accomodates the screen door opening outward. Any ideas? Anyone?

Cable guy!

Well, last night was a fun threesome....Well, me & 3 ran some wires to do some of the footwork to get some cable & internet without being gauged by the only cable company that serves our zipcode without installing a giant satellite dish on your front porch!
Bob, tech friend from school, of course, was the brains behind the operation, the man with tools, and the patient one to deal with Mike as a partner at the other end of the fishing line, me relaying messages across levels when the hook was made, and....Jamie teaching Atlas how to shake. Oh yes, another exciting evening on Garner avenue!
