Some people who know me also know I tend to get into stuff and go a bit nuts. Like I'm into my 3rd closet make over (no it's not done yet - but we're getting real close). Or like the time I decided after I moved back home that I hated the ugly dark green carpet and tore it out and figured I'd put in that parkay (or whatever it's called flooring). That was a total trip but my friend and I got it in - even though we found out the room wasn't square.
So when they built the add on and gave me a bigger room (we took away space to give me the walk in closet - but I loved that part too much to complain), they gave me a small little bathroom. Unfortunately they also gave me a pedestal sink. Okay sure they look cute and all that - but you can't put anything on them!!! You can't store anything, etc., etc.
Took me almost 3 years to get totally frustrated but I finally said enough was enough.

That wall is done in Venetian plaster - it's a pain to do and ends up taking about 3 days (or longer if you get sidetracked with other projects like me and/or work). I've got 4 more walls to do (the bathroom is built really funny). That sink set up cost me way more than I should of spent but I wanted something different (by way more I mean I had to get rid of everything else in the bathroom and start over - because believe me chrome does not match Italian). Oh well...
Unfortunately now the linolium floor doesn't match - so I'm soon to start shopping for some granite tile (I think granite would be nice don't you?). I thought maybe more marble but that might be a bit much even for me. Then again slate could be cool too...
Of course I'll destruct the bathroom and put that in myself (thank god my aunt & uncle own a floor covering business - and can tell me what not to do - though I've already been told by people who work for them that I do professional work when I want to).
Anyway I'll try and take pictures of the closet project (which isn't done either - lol it takes me forever to actually finish a project) and show that as well. In this case however, money is holding me up. I've already spent about $600 on the units and am waiting till I can afford the final pieces.
Blame it on E.L. - he asked about the closet.
