For Me to Poop In
Has it been two weeks since I even looked at this site? I guess so. The last little while has been really busy and hectic. We were supposed to make a trip to Ottawa for Thanksgiving but it turned out we couldn't. There were two deaths in our not-immediate family, people who were very loved and will be missed. And a lot of personal stuff thrown in there as well.
I didn't have much time for knitting but I did finish the back of the new Peace Fleece cardigan. I think I may have worked 3 rows total on my shawl and I haven't touched anything else.
Over the past few days we painted our bathroom. We hadn't done anything with it since we moved in here, thinking we'd wait until we had money to renovate the whole thing. Just like with the kitchen, reality sets in and there will be no renovation any time soon, so we painted it, added baseboards and generally neatened the place up. My first choice of paint colour was horrible, so we repainted and I still don't love it (too bright). In any case, I can't deny it's miles better than it was before and I'm pleased with the work we did. I forgot to take "before" pictures, but you can kind of see what it used to look like here. (The purple squares in the photos denote colours more similar to that of the towels and bathmats because they didn't pick up accurately.)
We need to add a wall cabinet and some shelves, and Jeremy has just finished replacing the outlets with new white ones. We also need a couple of new light fixtures but those can wait. The hanging blind hides our water heater, which is tucked into a crappy makeshift closet panelled with badly applied fake wood. Ideally we would have liked to move it into the basement and knock that area down, but that's out of our scope right now. The tub/shower has sliding glass doors and they looked rather cold so we added a shower curtain. I still need to find something decorative to add over the liner. I am mostly pretty happy with it, I'd just like to tone down the brightness of the wall colour and it'll be perfect. Maybe next spring.

It looks really good. I wondered if you would like that new colour, I'm not surprised you find it too bright, although personally, I think it looks super-duper.
Did I mention to you that our adopted kitty Princess is preggers.... kittens soon I think!

Thank you! We added a new shower curtain, wall cabinet and a picture. Now it's really nice. The colours in the new curtain has taken a lot of brightness away from the wall. I actually love it right now. Happy pooping all around. :)
