Announcing the renouncing of the 70s bathroom!

 

Yea I know I’ve added some accents here and there including my mom’s lovely lighthouse painting but honestly, you take all that away and it’s downright uuugly!  Josh, the eldest often refers to it affectionately as “The Golden Girls” bathroom, I mean, look at that Formica for crying out loud!  It’s suppose to “resemble” marble.  I guess I shouldn’t be so judgmental, back in the day they were still experiencing with budget friendly solutions for creating a more expensive look but this stuff belongs in a 1974 Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

We recently added satellite TV to our home.  We had been proudly “dish-free” for 4 years using a digital antenna instead.  More and more frequently college football games are aired on good ‘ol ESPN and so when the 2017 championships rolled around we decided to take the plunge again and add satellite to our expense list so we could enjoy a bigger variety of entertainment.  Sounds simple and innocent enough, right?

One thing led to another and we have become maniacs, recording movies by the dozen (until the free subscription runs out of course), watching fix it shows and before you know it I am hooked on Fixer Upper.  Chip and Joanna Gaines are the highlighted super stars in my DVR collection.  As Randy and I  munch away on our snacks and enjoy watching some pretty hideous looking homes transform magically into perfect living spaces with incredible style, the remodeling bug starts to nibble.  Yep, the Golden Girls bathroom is my first real reformation battle I must conquer (kinda sounds patriotic doesn’t it.)  We’ve painted a couple of rooms and changed out some light fixtures but that is about the extent of our remodeling to the house after four years.  It’s time for change!

I guess I am not the only one to be bitten by the pesky remodeling bug.  Randy has decided our old shed has got to go.  It didn’t really serve its purpose when we first moved here let alone what its function is now after four years!  Making sure everything gets wet when it rains but providing adequate refuge for all the critters in the area, I guess that’s something.

The new one will hold our four wheelers, mowers, yard and garden equipment, etc. with a carport on one side to park the flat bed trailer under.

This will obviously be an ongoing post, so stay tuned!
