Our bathroom is basically done. The shower works, all the tile is in, the walls are painted....there are just some finishing issues....that will probably never be completed. The area between the top of the shower and the ceiling still needs a little love (and mud), and the two little narrow walls on either side of the tub are far from perfect. Oh, and the molding above the door is whacked. Those things need to be fixed. But it's basically done. And I find myself....un....thrilled? Don't get me wrong, it's nice.....I think the main problems are (1) that you do not do an all white, minimalist bathroom and have flaws. Everything must be square and perfect because the tiniest imperfection will scream out at you and smack you in the face. (2) I am a perfectionist. Really, I'm being super picky. Any normal person would have quit hounding their husband and finished the thing three weeks ago.
I have three choices:
1) Be a normal person and call the thing finished.
which is obviously not happening
2) Paint the walls
therefore making the bathroom into something other than a minimal, white space
3) Buy a shower curtain
retail-therapy has been known to work wonders
I think I will start with option 3 and work my way up. The fact is, the curtain we have now is a weird, yellow-y white (probably from being balled up in a grocery sack for a year) that looks horrendous with the rest of the bathroom; I was going to have to get one anyway. I'm thinking of ordering this one from West Elm....
Or maybe one of the following....
Because they're similar to (but more affordable than) the one Eric (still) wants...
But most likely, I'll end up going to Target and buying the first one that looks decent. That or World Market.
Then to Home Depot for paint :)
