Oh the joys of home renovation. While Holly and I were painting the fire place hole blue, mike was tackling the rust colored bathroom.. some frustration ensued and Holly and I stayed clear of the little bathroom.The walls were transformed to a wasabi green, which holly took the ball and ran with. She suggested we do a sushi theme. Here are a few of her ideas.
Soy dish= soap dish
chopsticks= a framed picture
Rice- texture for the walls
Sushi rolls- towels rolled to look like sushi
Her ideas were great and she had a few more that aren’t coming to me... but we decided that wasn’t really the look we were going for.
Mikes frustration was understood. The gorilla glue was egging him on and trying to bully him. He lined the mirror in the bathroom with a frame and used the big tough gorilla glue to help it. Unfortunately, directions were required for use and while drying, it expands, spills over, needs pressure for HOURS, and only a little is required. None of this was followed, so naturally there was a struggle. In the end, Mikes blade and innovation won that battle! But that was not the end... Another struggle lied ahead. Mike vs. Crown molding!!!Oh boy, that crown molding earned it’s “crown” it’s the king of all projects and reins over all other projects. IT’S TOUGH!!!!! But of course, 3 different methods, 4 bad instructions, and I believe 3 different machines.. Mike’s brilliance shined through. It came out BEAUTIFULLY!!!!! Flawless! The struggle with measurements, dimensions, etc was all worth the pride he felt in the end! My handy husband deserves the crown now! :) Long live the KING of home improvement!!!!! Hip Hip Hooray!
