(I'd better stop or we'll be here all day)

Huh, what?.........

MY HUSBAND says that I hog the covers at night.
I don't know WHAT he is talking about!

*wink wink*

I take great care stacking all of my pillows "here" before I jump in to bed.

Then they are all easy and stuff to put back on in the morning.

AHHH....now I can go and have a good day!

I Feel Like White Today....

(isn't he cute?!)

And no, none of these are my home....
boo hoo.

MAD ABOUT CHAIRS

I have a thing for chairs. If I bring one more chair in to this house

I will have to move out, there won't be room for ME!

Slip covered chairs are one of my favorite!

This one above lives with me, but the others below I know wish they also lived with me!!

Ooooooh......

I got these below at a second hand store. One stays with me,
the other goes to my sister.

At least that's what I tell her.
The seats will get recovered some day.

Wouldn't they be cute white?! No? Yes? We'll see....

Can we pretend this chaise is a chair? I love it.

You can't ever make me do this again....

We remodeled our master bathroom this fall/winter, and I say fall/winter because that's how long it took us to do it! We had a shower pan type shower that we wanted to throw out because we would throw up getting in to it every day; it was so old and icky. So I wanted a tub this time. I opted for the "heavy duty cast iron tub that will last forever", hubby opted for the "this is much lighter and won't take 6 men to lift it" steel tub. I.won. So in the new HEAVY tub went, with only 4 men to carry it up nearly 25 stairs in all, down the hall way, turn the corner into the bedroom, turn another corner in to the bathroom and plop it down. I think I saw some sweat :)

BEFORE mmm, its soso

(shower: Yecchh!)

First we prepped the bathroom by ripping out everything, tile and all, floor and all. If that wasn't hard enough, the next thing was. Pulling up the subfloor that was damaged. It was nailed and glued down, and when particle board is glued down, it wants to stay there!

(chip, chip,chip,chip,chip,chip...)

and in pops the tub!

A good friend did all the plumbing for us, including moving some pipes so I could have my "Shampoo box". Wasn't he nice? Roughing in the "shampoo box" wasn't so nice.

Alas, we are on to screwing in the hardy backer board, after we hauled the cement board back to the "Depot". Next the tiling. It started out fun, then reality set in and it took two afternoons and an evening to get done. I'm glad we were smart enough to rent a tile cutter. We had tons of cutting to do. Grouting also started out fun and......................well, you know.

After sealing the grout and wiping and wiping and wiping and........ya, we could install the fixtures. Ahhh, new shiny fixtures that turn when we tell them to. And a new floor too!

Then I dropped the BOMB. "Honey, can I put in really, really,reeeealllllly cute beadboard? It'sreallycuteandIwilldoalltheworkanditwillbesoeasyandyouwon'thavetodomuchblahblahblah..."

IS IT NOT CUTE OR WHAT!!

Now, where's my bubble bath?
