Grad school and some personal matters kept me away from the house for several days, but I did manage to get out with Jeff to select our remaining bathroom fixtures. We've been trying to incorporate salvage items as we can, both because we like the idea of reusing great, old items and these items work with our budget.
So, we finally resolved the Great Sink Search of '07 and went with the wallmount marble sink from Salvage One. Our friend DJ is a stone restorer, so he's currently cleaning it up for us so hopefully Tom can install it this next weekend. And my friend eBay sold us our new medicine cabinet last night, which will go very nicely with our lovely sconces that are on their way.
I know a lot's going to be happening in the next couple days. Today, the bedroom walls and ceiling are on deck and all the bathroom debris is getting hauled out. Incredibly, we'll be ready for Sam the electrician to position the outlets and switches in the bedroom tomorrow night. And I'm still plugging away at the bloomin' wallpaper. Tom discovered a new crop of the stuff in the kitchen when he took out the old wall oven and microwave. This stuff is actually pretty, in that Dorothy Draper kind of way.
It's rainy again, so the deck will have to wait for weather. It's about half stained now.
