The living room just beyond has the Christmas tree and all the bright, happy, family-friendly decor in it, so I decided to indulge myself in this hall and keep things more subdued in shades of white, bronze, and green.. Just one little bronze Christmas ball ornament is all it takes to reinforce the theme here..
The floors were also a bit of a finicky tile because of their giant size.We sure know how to pick ’em!
It can be a little challenging to get tiles that big to sit level, especially on top of all of the heated flooring stuff and the cement that goes over it, but we got it done!The first thing you see when you walk into our washroom is the toilet, now that we’ve moved the plumbing around.Supposedly, you’re not supposed to make the toilet the first thing visible, but I think I just consider it convenient, really..
It kind of says:.Plus it really is a huge improvement on the previous view from this location.. Before:.
Truth-be-told, I’m pretty excited about the new toilet.
It’s a lot more modern-looking than all of the other fixtures in the room but I think it’s a pretty brilliant design.This was meant to be a quick-fix kitchen update that we started last fall, but as we got more and more into it, we realized that we were really going to have to change some of the trim out.
We could tell that it would look amazing and we just couldn’t.But of course, then we went on leading our normal lives and didn’t have time to get to this extra little update until this Spring.
So by that time, I just wanted the project done and out of the way so we could actually start enjoying the new kitchen updates.And then, as if it was our fate to finish the kitchen, exactly when it was really starting to bug us the most, GE Sealants stepped in and asked us if we’d like to try out their new fancy-shmancy, super-quick, extra-easy-to-use adhesive.
