29 Things about My Current Renovation Including Stuff about Grey
It’s the bathroom
It’s the tiles, medicine chest, lighting, sink, toilet, and paint
I’ve been going steady with Benjamin Moore
Our neighborhood paint store opens at 7:30 am. Some days I greet the manager and first shift when they arrive
In addition to ‘silver crest’ and ‘ice marble,’ I brought home11 chips of greys
The new toilet didn’t fit. We live in the only line in our building that has a quirky space
The contractor told us the job would take no more than 2 weeks. We’re at the beginning of week 5
Finding the right-size toilet and exchanging the misfit contributed to the delay
So did the water damage on one wall
And the burst pipe behind another
So did the tile guy locking the bathroom doctor from the outside
And the length of time he and the others take for lunch
Counting ‘ice cap’ I have now accumulated 17 more shades of grey
The workers blast zumba music while they drill, saw, and make other really loud work noises
I hate the noise in my house
Thank goodness for the workers’ lunch break. I have noon to 3 to write
The people who work at the tile store said most women have decorators
I’ve learned never to say never, but I am pretty sure I won’t
I love our wall tiles
Not including ‘gray owl’ which is way too dark, I’ve considered 36 more shades of grey
I don’t understand why we ran out of grout
Or trim
I wish the people at Home Depot could stay awake
I wish the contractor didn’t get testy
I love our floor tiles, lighting, hardware, sink, right-fitting toilet,and my husband
He oversaw the big and small stuff of this renovation
But not the color of the paint
It’s now on the walls. Two coats of “white frost” look great
After a little more grouting and stuff with the shower, the guys will be on their way. Everything is coming together after more than 50 shades.
