The last week has upended life on the girls’ side of the house. Their bathroom has been under construction – first the demolition of their shower, which involved removing tile walls, flooring, wall board and even some of the studs, due to mold. <\/p>\n\n\n

Then came the new tile. I consulted with the girls, as they will be using this the most for the next few years, and we came up with an aqua blue for the walls, and a sort of gold-marbled hexagonal floor tile.<\/p>\n\n\n

I was so happy they were going to tile all the way to the ceiling instead of only part way up like the old shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after they had finished it beautifully, they said they would paint the whole room, so I had to come up with a color quickly! The girls weren’t too sure of the color I chose, but I was going for something neutral that would not cast a weird color on the skin (something I failed to factor into my previous color scheme). I am absolutely delighted with the results!<\/p>\n\n\n

Thankful for tax refund money to do this job – it was really needed! And now the girls have a beautiful bathroom for many years to come. Hopefully they can keep it looking this nice! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No picture, but we also had a new dishwasher installed on Monday. It’s been 4 years since we got the old one, and as you can imagine in a household of 10 people, it gets used A LOT. It broke, and now the new one is dreamy – it doesn’t rock when you open it, it doesn’t leak, the control panel actually lights up – amazing! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
