Those tiles are gorgeous! I've been glaring at our pink flowery ones for 12 years now, but Ste tells me there are Priorities, such as getting the brickwork repointed and replacing guttering. *sigh*
It's tough... I mean, last year was our time to do the gutters, stripping and replacing the lot!
I was also a bit worried about our tiles at first, because several of our friends (Pax & Dan included) have done remodel work to one extent or another, but none of them has gone out there with extremes of bold color! But now that it's in, I'm sure we made the right choices for us, and I'm really loving it, too! :)
We've been living in a remodel zone for the past year now, so I can completely sympathize with wanting it done. We're doing the DIY thing, however, so it's hard to stay motivated. :)
We thought seriously about doing the DIY thing, too. I'd grown up working for my dad, who just so happens to be a general contractor, so I had all sort of experience. The one thing I haven't had - maybe this entore year - has been any sort of spare time. So, we secured a line of credit, bit the bullet, and had the deed sub-contracted.
And no, my dad hasn't been working for us - at least, not this time around! :)
I'm thinking we may have to get bits of it subcontracted- we have a 2 story foyer, and I'm not terribly confident about getting up on a ladder or a rented scaffold to do it ourselves. But everything else... yeah. Me. :) On the plus side, I can now expertly install a hardwood floor. :D
I've no doubt you've probably picked all sorts of new skills! But the question is, do you ever want to be in the situation where you need to install a hardwood floor again...? :)
Actually, my Hun' is just itchin' to have her tube back. It's been 4-weeks now that she hasn't been able to take an actual bath (showers in the vanity, only).
