The upstairs bathroom was next on the list. I am using a random number generator to choose projects, so it is just luck of the draw that I have already done thee bathrooms.
We had this one redone just after the pandemic and I love the views. Right now the beach includes backhoes and dump trucks, but it is still nice to look out at the ocean. We had the contractor basically make to entire room waterproof and then put up a barrier free two sided glass shower. The goal was to make it as open as possible. The glass tends to collect hard water spots, and I go in every couple of weeks and give it a good scrub while I am in the shower. The philodendron is getting a little out of control. Maybe I can put a stake in it to get it to grow up a bit more than out?
There is always the random stuff that collects over time to be put away and then an extra deep clean is in order. It shouldn't take too long to cross this one off the list.
It is cleaner now, and the counters are clear for the moment. I out a little bin under the sink with the things that get used every day.
Kurt grabbed a lattice for me at Lowe's this morning and I tried to get the plant to go up a bit. I think I was semi successful. He has asked for a palm tree instead, but those are harder keep alive, so I will stick with this one for now. It is conveniently close to the tub with a spray head that makes watering easy. All the plants that I used to keep in the front steps died terrible thirsty deaths.

I will cross that job off the list and move on to what is next. This will be a long week at school but then next week is only 4 days for MLK. For weekend I will head to Virginia for a few days, so that will be a bit nice change of pace. I am not sure how long I can keep up with the daily to do lists jobs. I might have to change to weekends only when things get busy again. Right now I need to finish a 3-5 page paper about teacher perceptions of Common Core Standards
What a gorgeous bathroom. Your view is definitely a treat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool space! Looks like a resort. Good luck with your paper.
ReplyDeleteI love your bathroom...I'm a little green from envy. I live in mid-Michigan so not much chance of getting a view like yours. Have tried pinching off the new leaves when they first appear on your philodendron (or was it a pothos?)...either way it might encourage the plant to grow taller instead of growing out.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely views from your bathroom, Angela, and now you've restored the sense of peace in the room. Well done!

ReplyDeleteGoo luck with the paper! What grad school program are you doing? I personally would summarize teachers' perceptions of Common Core Standards as an eye roll.
