Here we go again

Yes, it's time to get back to the house renovation again! If all stays on schedule, the bathroom will be started on Monday. In the meantime...more decisions! Oh boy - my favorite thing to do...Not! Actually, it all began very well. Vanity, medicine cabinet, and cabinet have already been selected. Shower, counter top, and window sill WAS selected only to find out the choices were discontinued. SO...back to the drawing board we went. Today the final decision was made so I thought I would share that with you. It was a tie between two but yellow won out. The images that follow will show you the first choice that was discontinued - all the way to the last and final choice. Feel free to let me know what you think.

I love the natural simplicity of the above choice. Unfortunately the marble was discontinued. This only took me five or so minutes to make a decision on, so - go figure...it would be the choice I couldn't have, right? Do you know how difficult it is to find a replacement for something you really wanted to begin with? Well, I found out. There wasn't anything to compare it with so we really had to just start over.

Although this is a beautiful pattern and color combo, I was really hoping to find something a bit more feminine and perhaps swirly. AND if I couldn't go "natural" tones then I wanted to find something in a soft color palette. Oh, and just so you know...the more solid color samples are for the floor of the shower.

And here is the final decision. It is a yellowish cream background with dark brown, tan, yellow, and blue veins running through it. It is really growing on me now and I'm looking forward to decorating the bathroom when it's completed. If this was your bathroom, how would you decorate? Would love to hear some suggestions from you all.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about the cabinetry! The vanity, mirrored medicine cabinet, and cabinet need to be ordered but they are in an oak finish. I do think this choice for the counter will look nice with the oak cabinets. I sure hope so because I really don't want to have to go back to the drawing board again. AND there is one more decision I need to make. What will the sink look like? I'm sure I will be able to find a standard sink - I'm just not sure from where or what size/shape yet.

I will be so thrilled when this project is finished. I hope to take some time off for the fall/winter holiday season that is fast approaching. All the other reno's will have to wait till spring as far as I'm concerned. Hey... a girl can dream, right?
