I didn’t forget. I may have been residing in the midst of stocking stuffers, sledding and kid central, but I did not forget that I am in the middle of a project. In fact … it’s on my mind every time I spy a decorating magazine on the coffee table.
The kids’ bathroom is not yet finished. But I did get a new toilet for Christmas!
After all, we’re a practical family. We like practical presents — thanks, Mom! Also residing beside the toilet on our porch — temporarily, I swear! — is a pedestal sink. I tiny little pedestal sink perfect for the tiny little bathroom.
The real show-stopping Christmas gift — thoughtfully acquired and lovingly hauled 50 miles — was that first item, back there at the beginning of this post. Remember … ?
Farmguy bought me a bathtub for Christmas. And not just any tub … it’s a rusty, chippy old clawfoot tub. The outside needs some sandblasting and a fresh coat of paint. The inside is perfect. Delightful!
At the rate we’re going I may have to soak in the back yard after filling it with the garden hose … but it will — some day — look lovely in my bathroom, right next to the shower.
That despicable shower!
I’m already planning fluffy white towels and a little bowl of pretty soaps. And bath salts … and bubble bath soap … and … raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm, woolen mittens …
*sigh*
I’ll keep you posted.
