My find



No, not Ben's butt -- the vessel sink! Randomly was on clearance at the Lowes near Will's school -- the unit, the marble countertop and the vessel bowl...for $140! I am feeling soooooooo Lisa LaPorta about it! Anyway, it was on some strange clearance...we couldn't see anything at all wrong with it -- it was up on one of those "don't touch" displays -- and snatched it up. Now we do have to buy a really expensive vessel faucet, BUT we had paid about $140 for a crappy little vanity unit that we were going to have to buy a countertop for, and it wouldn't have looked NEARLY as nice. So we're feeling good right now...knock on wood...

Anyway, do you like the color we finally decided on? We do! We've also decided to do a crown moulding on the ceiling and a base moulding on the floor around the tile. We think it will dress it up a lot. Now we just have to actually get the TILE down! Which, I don't know if I mentioned, we also "stole." We got it at the Habitat of Humanity ReStore in BR. It is verrrrrrry hit and miss, but we managed a hit this time, with some cool rectangular and square bone-colored natural tiles. We also got some inexpensive slate tiles to mix in. Can't wait to get it laid down, now so we can get this bathroom functioning again -- we have to lock the door so poor Will doesn't mistakenly pee on the concrete floor during his middle of the night..eh, call of nature. Anyway, consider this a sneak peek at what we HOPE will be 99% finished this weekend! Posted by Picasa
