Look at our pretty new bathroom!



It's finally done.  After 7 weeks and a day.  It's hard to believe that redoing a 5 x 7 bathroom could take so long.  

The Property Brothers rebuild entire houses in that time. 

But then again they don't have to deal with the rule of co-ops, which limit work to weekday business hours.  

And yes, it is black & white.  A bit radical I guess.  

But I couldn't bear the thought of a white, grey or beige bathroom.  

And Edward was willing to trust me, so we thought we'd go for it.  

He did have a moment of self doubt just before we began construction, but I reminded him that it wasn't really a black bathroom since the largest items in it were white.  

As it turned out, the room is so small that it's really 50/50 black and white, and not at all dark as we had feared it might be.  

I had forgotten that lesson from art class - the dark walls recede against the white fixtures and make the room seem larger.  

Isn't that a nice bonus. :-)

Cheers!
