it started with a shower

Three years ago I wanted a new floor in the bathroom/ mudroom near my kitchen, but I realized that the new flooring would have to extend into the laundry room, hallway and kitchen. /Well, I couldn't just put a new floor in a 40 year old kitchen, So I ended up with a whole new kitchen, new sink and toilet in the bath room and, within a few months, a new washer and dryer.

Now it's happening again. I decided that the 40+ year old blue bathtub in my master bath had to go, so I arranged to have a wonderful new shower installed instead.  It's not in yet but it's coming this week. Well obviously that meant the old blue toilet and the blue sink and ugly vanity also had to go. They've been torn out and a new toilet and vanity (both white like the shower) are waiting in my garage until they can be installed (after the new floor goes in of course). I am painting the walls a pastel yellow, and spent way too much time scraping off the old blue flowered wall paper which seems to have been put on with super glue.  Well, it quickly became obvious to me that I also needed to de-wallpaper and paint my bedroom and then I would have to have new carpet.  It occurred to me that If I was getting new carpet for my bedroom I might as well go ahead and re-carpet the other two also, so I ordered the carpet this week.

Heaven only knows what will happen when I start on my basement family room.
