Good Bye Pink Bathroom
We embarked on the complete remodel of our bathroom in the Winter of 2007. My husband was planning a little surprise on me, and discussing with his buddy the make over of the master bathroom. We have lived in this house since 1986, and endured this awful bathroom with its pink and apricot trim. I always tried to make the most of the situation by decorating with the color instead of against the color.
My husband came home and asked, how would you like to start on the bathroom? I said, WHAT? YES, of course. My wish finally came true, with the announcement I longed for, let's get this thing done now, and stop waiting for the right time to do it. And so we began the most challenging project of our home.
I had two weeks time to do all of the shopping and planning before the construction would begin. We wanted to get this project finished in time for our annual St. Patrick's Day party that we have in our home. We had six weeks to complete the project. All went well except for a major snafu by our local big box home improvement store ordered the incorrect cabinet countertop. We had to switch to Plan B, and a few phone calls were made, and we found a gorgeous remnant of granite at a supplier in Wixom, (that was less expensive than Corian), and had the new top within a week's time. We didn't have a top at St. Patrick's Day, but everyone was just as pleased with the dry sink concept and made the most of the inconvenice.
I scrambled, studied, measured, shopped and shopped and shopped, put a lot of miles on my van, and finally found the various parts for the look that I wanted.
I am so pleased with how everything came together. My builder (my husband's best buddy) was terrific and we got it done and finished in six weeks time.
