Tea Cups in the Garden

• Nov. 6, 2007 - Day 38 A Peek into What's Left

Posted in House Remodel

In the last few days dh got a few more big things done with the bathroom.  The drawers and doors got new hardware. 

He cut holes for the sinks out of our new laminate countertop.  The sinks and faucets are in, the plumbing is connected and the water works!  The tile backsplash is up!  The blue tape is to hold the heavy trim pieces in place.

Hopefully in the next couple of nights he can get the grout done on the tile backsplash and get the other two false drawers in front of the sinks installed. Then Saturday he hopes to lay the floor tile!  That night we are supposed to sing at the nursing home.  Because our closet is on the other end of the bathroom from our bedroom, we'll have to remember to pull out clothes for the nursing home, bed, church the next morning and everyday clothes for Sunday because we won't be able to walk on the tile for almost 24 hours!  Then the grout has to go in, then the baseboards go up and the toilet reinstalled! He has Monday off for Veterans Day so it could be done! I think that will be it.  I should be dressing up the bathroom next week!   Then I can decorate for autumn...then the Medieval Feast...then Thanksgiving...then Christmas!  Whew!

I am so impressed. Our house has been in a constant state of construction for years now. So your bathroom is very encouraging and inspiring. Enjoy that new bathroom- it looks wonderful!

At the risk of sounding weird, I love your water faucet!

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
