Complete Setting

I don’t know what happened but the entire site went down today.  Since it was down all day I won’t total until Monday morning.

Today being our busiest day since we moved into our new house!!! Yeah!  We have settled into a chaos of boxes, paper, etc…. of course that meant that I didn’t discover the missing site until this evening and wasn’t able to fix it until after the little man went to bed.

It will take awhile to get settled in.  We are holding off on painting, decorating until we are done with a few major projects: i.e. updated wiring, new windows, new skylight, etc..  all of these things will effect the walls and I don’t want to paint twice.

OK After three hours and almost losing the entire site I need to find another poll plug in. So not to delay this any longer, because we do need a shower curtain, please cast your vote by submitting a comment. You can vote for one of the choices I have made or if you feel that there is something better please vote for it.

If you are suggesting something else include a link where others can look at it. You can vote just once, please no back and forth voting since I’ll be counting these up the old fashioned way. I will count on Sunday afternoon and post the results then.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions or if you need something clarified. I will do my best to respond quickly but we are moving in this weekend. Yes after 3 months of being between homes, the boys are finally settling into their nest.

Please pass this on to your friends, colleagues, etc… the more votes and participation the better.

somebody sent me two more suggestions for shower curtains today and I’ve gotten some great responses from designers out there.

I wanted to answer a couple of questions.

We are very much into each room standing on it’s own. In other words we don’t try to get every room to coordinate. We are multi faceted people and like that to reflect in our home.

I know that I can’t make the sink disappear right now, although someone suggested painting the tile and sink white. To be honest I hadn’t thought of that so that may be a question for all of you.

Quite a few of you wanted a list of thinks we’ll be talking about, voting on, planning etc…. to be honest I really hadn’t thought that far ahead. I’ll try to make a rough list for you and post it on here. This really started because we didn’t have the energy to focus on this room and secondly thought it might be fun to see what happens when we let others decorate for us.

Ruthless Designer: Who lived up to her name. I loved your questions and somehow I’ve goofed up approving the comment. It won’t let me do it. I’m new to Word Press and I promise to fix it. Brutal but honest! LOL

Tomorrow starts the official voting and you’ll have until Sunday to vote, get your friends to vote, etc… talk about it on here to come up with a decision. I’ll post a picture of your selected shower curtain so we can move on to the next stage.

I decided to start here for only one particular reason. We need to be able to shower and this was as good as anyplace else.  Yes there are probably better places to start but since we need a shower curtain to shower I decided to be practical.

There are over ten choices here to debate and look at.  If you think there is something I’ve missed, I probably did miss it, let me know and I’ll include it in the post.  Remember we are on a budget, so no hand woven, Egyptian cotton  curtains from a small enclave of virgin weavers.  As beautiful as it might be it probably isn’t in the budget.

On Friday I’ll put up a survey for people to vote on their favorites.  I’ll get it and put it up. Then I’ll post a follow up picture for you.

Here we go.

OK what do you think of these?

I’ll make the first post on Monday morning.  I won’t tell you what it is but start spreading the word.  The more people who participate the more fun this will be.

We’ve decided the following

1. We hate our bathroom

2. We don’t have any money to renovate it right now. (Who knew that an 80 year old house would need tons of work? LOL!)

3. We’re crazy enough and creative enough to allow a virtual reality to decorate our bathroom for us.

This blog is going to be about decorating our bathroom. The fate of this space is at the mercy of you all. Some of you may be professionals, some of you may have a good eye for design, some of you may be creative and well if any of my family reads this you might be down right crazy. Anyway, we are going to abide by the wishes of this wise collective.

Here is how it will work. Every other Monday we will post a topic. For example wall color, towels, etc.. and I will post some options and people may make other suggestions. On Thursday night (probably later after the baby is asleep) , I’ll post a survey reflecting the options. You’ll have all day Friday and Saturday to vote for your favorite. Whichever is the clear choice is what we’ll do. We’ll try to do it that following week so you can see the results. Keeping in mind if I have to order something or have something made it may take longer.
We are open to all suggestions as long as they fit in our budget. What is that budget you ask? It isn’t a set number because we don’t know how much the other renovations are going to run but it is a safe bet to say no more than $600 for the whole room.
