A Picture of Progress
Finally,
a picture of progress.
Before we started remodeling the bathroom... it was classic 1950's style.
Cool mint green *fake* tile...
With a neato fishy on the rear wall! Although there was a shower curtain, notice there is no REAL shower. Remember those you could hook onto the tub spout? Yeah.
The tub was original cast iron... with a large spot of the porcelain worn off around the drain... and not a smooth porcelain finish left after 60 years! I wanted a *smooth* tub. One you can wipe off when you clean, not scrub with the use of *elbow grease*! That tub found a new owner... someone who is thrilled with it!
And honestly, there was nothing *that* bad about this bathroom, it just wasn't my style and I *wanted* my style!
So I'm working on it.
See?
Earth tones.
REAL tile.
A smidge of pizzazz.
Something my unknown future daughter-in-law or grandchild can look at and say, "Yecch. I think I want something minty green..."

OK. I am impressed. I can't imagine laying tile - on a floor, let alone on a wall. Looking good!

I love the earth tones. You do them very well! Those fish are adorable though. Did you save them?

Won't even show my daughter-in-laws. They are so retro. I think you have to grow up with it so you can appreciate getting rid of it. Looks good enough to eat. Great job.

The earth tones are really nice! You go girl!
And yes, I do remember those shower hoses that attached to the tub spout!! I've still got one in the basement if I ever need it!
