Progress on house project

Aug 19, 2013

Crazy how it feels like I’ve been working on the ‘Escape the 80’s house project’ for months. Crazier that I only have one room done. ::sigh::

gold fixtures -- really?
moen makes a difference

Kuler this!Gone are the gold fixtures! That shower seat for oldies but goodies? It’s gone too. The way I feel after painting all weekend? Getting rid of that might’ve been a very big mistake. The toilet may be replaced too before I’m finished. Do you know old toilets flush forever and use a ton of water? They do, you guys. But right now — this is the only toilet in the house. The rest are nothing but holes with rags poking out of the top. Ain’t remodeling fun?

I put the Kuler color app to work for this room and while you can’t see the purple accents in these craptasic photos, it’s there — a candle, hand towel, and shower mat. I’ve never EVER painted green before (I really hate the color green!), and I’ve got NOTHING purple in my home.

I’m not sure if I should feel accomplished and think all those motivational thoughts about how great change is… or grab a paint brush and go back to work. I prefer the Kuler color suggestions in the photo to the left as opposed to muted colors that probably make for a more sellable option. Plenty of rooms left — who knows what me and Kuler will do. ::cringe::
