Add the fact that I am a great project starter and not so great at finishing (we tend to complete everything to about 90% done and leave it). I'm starting to see what a mental drain this bad habit is on my family.
The main bathroom was both functionally and design flawed.
Duke Longshadow wanted to put in a shower and call it done. I wanted a new vanity and countertop.
In the end we... I mean he compromised.
I painted the vanity and counter (Rustoleum Super Glaze) and he put in a new tub and tile. Then we painted the walls, the ceiling fan, the mirror, new lights, new tile floor, new trim, put in a thrifted sink, new plumbing, marble backsplash and used up 20 million tubes of caulking.
I owe the man.
Like many unfinished projects, we worked to 90% completion then left it alone. Last week Duke Longshadow gave me a challenge. He would complete the trim and paint in our main room and I would complete the bathroom all in one week.
Not to be outdone I waited until the last minute - then worked at crazed warped speed..... and ..... finished the bathroom! [side note: Duke Longshadow took time away from his project many times to use his height or knowledge of power drills to help me reach my goal.]So, let me present our one finished room.
Except for art and curtains of course....
This looks so good!
