For Christmas this year I asked for what every girls really wants. A gift certificate for Home Depot. See, it was time to do the bathroom, but I'm lucky. Since it's the smallest room in the tiny condo, I had some money left over to get rid of the fantastically huge track lighting cans from 1983. I replaced them with these lovely orange glass cans. Ohhhhhh. So modern and delicate. Thanks, Mum! I swear, who ever buys this place had better love color or I'm in deep doodoo.
And so, the bathroom remodel begins. I'm not sure if the painting is actually going to work. I'm really unsure, but I figure once I get it all together, lord knows I have enough time right now to deal with it.
Problem is, I pulled up a little corner of the lino to "see what was underneath". Tim came over and pulled a little more. Sadly, the old tile is gone, but then I had this hanging flap of a corner and Tim said "we can tile this in two days!" I believed him, and now am starting one of the worst projects I've ever tackled. Pulling up linoleum, backing, and adhesive off of cement. It's the worst idea I've ever had. It took me 6 hours to get this far......
Crap. Ah well, At least tile will add value......right? In other news, the new condo search is hard. Really hard. This market is killing me. The second a good looking condo comes on the market it's "subject to inspection". How the hell do they do that? I mean, the stupid thing just got listed! But, I'm being patient. Really patient. I do believe in house destiny, and the right one will come at the right time. I'm going to see a new construction in Ballard tomorrow. Wish me luck...........
