Under 200 Dollars

This proved the summer that Dave refused to suffer any further emasculation by the pink countertop in the main bathroom.

 The new shower curtain was impetus enough to inspire an entire renovation.
 Well, that and the stupid white-and-black gridded floor that stunk like toilet-training little boys and dirtied up at the slightest touch of the foot.
 Out, damn spot!  Out, damn floor, damn countertop, damn wall colour!
 In, in, in, new wall colour, cabinet colour, countertop and floor.
 Dave did all of this while I groaned in bed in the next room.
 Who knew that all I had to do was get out of the way?
 Be still, my beating heart - that floor.
 No, not tile - FibreFloor.  Easy peasy - all that's needed are many measurements (just to be sure), a pair of scissors and some caulking.  Yes, really.
Dave chose it all:  the countertop, the wall colour, the cabinet colour and the floors.  His decorating sense is far superior to mine.  He has inherited the home-dec gene directly from his mother, a very classy lady when it comes to shoes, handbags and dressing up the walls.  I thoroughly approve.

From your father-in-law:
Congratulations Dave, well done, you are showing me up!

His work is really amazing and all self- and John-Artymko-taught!

Wow! I think next summer I'll hire your husband to come do our bathroom!

I just love this so much. I think I need to call in John Artymko and Dave and have them redo our kitchen floor :)

But in all seriousness, I love that colour blue in the bathroom. It's gorgeous! Is it is the famous Afelskie colour "Felicity" as well?

Jenna, as dave says, if a colour works, why change it? The blue is most definitely Home Hardware Felicity. It makes us very happy.
