Bathroom Renovation

If you give a gal a paintbrush....

it will remind her that her bathroom cupboards are looking worn and out of date.

So she'll spend $3.00 on paint and start painting.

When she paints them it will make her think that knobs will make it look better.

After painting the cupboards she will want to update the mirror.

She will buy a mirror for $55.00.

This will remind her daughter that the "other mirror" was a lot better because this one was too small.

The painting job will remind her husband of his upbringing of "painted cupboards" and he will want something better.

The gal will not complain.

So they will go to Costco to look for the vanities they saw last week.

The vanities will have all been clearanced out and sold 3 days before.

So she will go to another Costco until they find what they want for $300.

"Not too bad" they will think, then it will remind them that getting a new Vanity means having to pay to tear out the old one...

Tearing out the old one will mean they'll need to pay someone to fix the floor...

and the drywall....

And of course they will have to pay to have the new vanity installed...

Of course getting a new vanity will mean they have to get a new faucet (the old one won't fit).

When they realize that faucets are $150 to $200 they will start to feel a little sick...

expensive faucets will remind them of e-bay...so the gal will look through e-bay for a faucet that she can buy now, and pick up herself.

So she'll get excited to find this one for $50.00 and drop everything to drive to Ontario to pick it up.

Bringing it home she'll realize it doesn't come with a drain so the workers will have to buy one for her...

Taking out the vanity will make the workers suggest to her paint the whole bathroom since it will be imposible to paint once the vanity is in.

So she will go to Ace right before the Relief Society Dinner so she can get paint.

She will stay up to midnight painting so the room will be ready for the workers in the morning.

The daugher will critique her choice of paint color over and over telling her "it is too dark, it will make the bathroom look too small...I liked it better before..."

Changing the rest of the bathroom will make her realize that she wants a new light fixture...

so she'll send her husband out to get one.

He will do a great job picking out a new one....$60.00 more dollars...

Looking at the old towels will now remind her that they blend in with the wall color and so she'll have to buy new ones.

Her new bathroom will remind her that she needs to make a trip to Tai Pan and the Alley for some decorating stuff...

The bathroom all put together will make her happy but will remind her that her $3.00 project ended up costing about $1,000!

Her new bathroom will remind her about the other ones upstairs...they will get finished slowly...

with a few updates....

and DIY fixes that don't requiring hiring any help!

Fixing the bathrooms will remind her of all the other projects around the house that would be nice to do...
