Yesterday was a sort of down day for the kids. Mostly because I had decided that it was finally time to paint our bathroom. We have been discussing different paint colors and whether or not to change the tile, for the last six months. When we started contemplating doing a complete remodel we knew we had gone too far. So, we nixed everything but the paint, and chose one that matched the existing tile.
I know these are not the best pictures, and the floor needs a good scrubbing. But I wanted to show how well it matched the tile. Although, I feel the need to point out that I hate this tile. I have always hated this tile, and nothing else we do to the bathroom will make me like the tile even a little. I know that it is considered retro and many people love the look of it. I don't. Because, years ago I lived in an old, run down building in the Washington Heights area of Manhattans. This was the tile of the entry way in that building. This tile will always remind me of "abandoned" cars slowly being striped to their frame before being hauled away by the NYPD, Men yelling sexual suggestive things as women walk down the street, and the one time our street was blocked off because of a double homicide. But, it is just tile and it is in a bathroom and renovations are expensive and time consuming so, it stays and I paint.
Something else, I broke down and made the satin rose:
If I use it, this is what I think I would do:
Sash, rose, simple yet elegant.
but, the other way yells "fancy, princess, frothy, castle"
Decisions decisions.
Feel free to give me your input. I am showing them to the bride tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in,
