A lucky find...and a not so lucky find.
My oldest granddaughter loves fairies. When I was a child, I was given a book from my own grandmother. It had the most wonderful fairy stor...
Yay You!!!
ReplyDeleteYep! I do feel like cheering. This is the fun part.
DeleteLooks dandy. Seems hubby didn't "unstick" the tub tile today. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteOh no. He would wait to do that. The danger time will be next winter when he's run out of stuff to keep him busy and then starts looking around.
DeleteAlways a dangerous time!!
DeleteTrue story, GZ. He ripped out the kitchen wall and replaced a window right before Thanksgiving! And then insulated very well and left it open. For years. Boy I was pissed. It was the third time he ripped drywall down. I told him that he couldn't do that unless he planned to fix it ASAP.
DeleteLooks fabulous!! You are a dynamo!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen us today. This was the day that shall live in infamy.
DeleteA loo with a view. One of those pretty stick on sheets would give you privacy - there's one I loved which was like a stained glass window. Such rich colours.
ReplyDeleteProgress anyway, and I'm sure that the tiles are fine, really.
I bought some window film. I toyed around with the idea of getting holographic film so that the room would be filled with rainbows, but in the end, decided to go with something plainer. We have this film on both our bathrooms at our current house, and the stuff is great. Allows the room to be bright, but I like to know the world is not watching me be naked!
DeleteOh I love that tap!
ReplyDeleteI do too. That is something that was on clearance a few years back, and I honestly had forgotten that we had gotten it.
DeleteThe finishing line is now in sight.
ReplyDeleteWe've got plenty to do, but the house is quickly reaching 'livable'.
DeleteYou will soon be ready to move in....
ReplyDeleteTim was wanting to move in before surgery. It would have been nice, but really, it's just way too much work in too short a period of time.
DeleteI like the wall panelling along the walls, and the way it becomes a splash back/back splash for the basin.
ReplyDeleteI like that look too. I like that it is something that can easily be wiped down.
DeleteRacing to the finishing line.
ReplyDeleteAre all Oklahomans mad?
At this point, Jabblog, I'm getting the feeling that America has gone mad. One thing to note, Ryan Walters, State Superintendent stuck that in the night before it was voted on. https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/education/2025/03/14/mention-of-2020-election-discrepancies-slipped-into-ok-social-studies-standards/82378280007/
DeleteIt is cold up here too. As I don’t have air conditioning, I bought an upright fan for my bedroom at Costco this week. At this rate, maybe I won’t even need it this summer. You are getting your house ready for move in so fast. Do you think you will be in before your operation? Everything is looking great, you two are so talented. Gigi
ReplyDeleteWe have never had air conditioning. The nice thing about where we are is that we've usually got quite a nice breeze coming in from the west. We can just let mother nature keep the house comfortable.
DeleteYou go.
ReplyDeleteWe fell flat our our faces today!
DeleteYour bathroom looks amazing. I love that bead board and I love the large tiles around the tub. As others have said, large tiles, less grout. I hope everything goes well with your knee replacement but it sounds like you're ready and I know (from reading your blog) that you will be diligent in doing your rehab exercises. Take care Debby.
ReplyDeleteI've been gimping around for so long. I just really, really want to be able to get a handle on this situation.
DeleteComing right along. How very cool!
ReplyDeleteWe're happy with it.
DeleteThis is looking great. Yes, try to keep him away from that tile. It's already just fine.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have to worry about it until we run out of things on his honey-do list. That's when he starts getting ideas...
DeleteLooks great! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live in Oklahoma.
I wouldn't live in Oklahoma.
DeleteThat's a beautiful sink -- much nicer than ours!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand a small sink.
DeleteIs that a tilt-out cabinet below the sink? It looks very streamlined and clean. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBonnie in Minneapolis
No. They are two drawers. I'll try to remember to get a picture for you, Bonnie.
DeleteThe bathroom is looking great! I like that sink too. We redid ours a few years ago and took out the tub. Put in a walkin shower instead. Best decision ever for us. I kinda miss the tub, but we rarely took baths, and when we had our knee replacements it was a godsend.
ReplyDeleteAbout after-surgery...did they give you an ice machine? If not, be sure to have several good, flexible icepack on hand because you will sure need them. Also, did they give you compression sleeves for your legs? You can borrow mine if you like. They helped me a lot. Also, plan on having a little table beside wherever you will be resting, if you don't have one. I found it impossible to sleep in the bed so spent about 2 months on the couch or in the recliner. You may need a toilet seat booster too. We gave a tall toilet but it still wasn't tall enough. And a shower chair. After a couple weeks you should be able to graduate to a cane, so it's good that you can pass on the walker. I used mine at night just for extra stability for about a month though. I probably didn't need it, but I was sleeping so badly I often felt woozy when I got up. Please feel free to email me anytime!
I didn't get an ice machine, but we are going to invest in cold packs to switch out.
DeleteThanks for the tips, though. I will keep you in my back pocket. It's good to have an expert! I don't have a recliner. I do have a sofa I can stretch out on. I was looking at our toilet. I have an old fashioned washstand by it to push up on. I think that I'm okay with that.
DeleteI forgot to mention yesterday that V just used sticks when he had both knees replaced 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat's all my brother in law used. But this surgeon and his PT want a walker.
DeleteBathroom looks really good, that sink is a beaut! Time for you to sit down & rest before your surgery, y'all have been running non-stop! I wouldn't live in Oklahoma either, that place is just nuts.
ReplyDeleteThe list of places I don't want to reside in grows ever longer.
