Speaking of bathrooms, Guess what I did today!

I broke the bathroom faucet. I turned it on so I could wash my hands and it broke – in HALF. Half of the faucet stayed mounted as it should and the other half came off in my hand! WTF???!!!

Seeing as it is the faucet int eh main bathroom, it needs to be replaced ASAP – if it was the one in the master bath, that would be a different story as we use that bathroom for showering, and unless the other bathrooms are full, it;s toilet is never used!

But yeah, the last paycheck before Christmas and I will be spending a part of it on a faucet *GRR*

This time I am going all out though. I’m tired of buying the cheapest one on the shelf. Instead we are gonna invest in one of the Grohe faucets, they are built to last AND have a warranty!

I want to tile my kitchen backsplash. I’ve been wanting to do so for the past two years – maybe a bit more. The sad truth is that when you are living on a paycheck to paycheck budget, tiles are an expense I just cannot justify.

It’s sad, i know, considering that even without a sale to use, I’ve priced out tiles to be under 300, and that’s the entire length of my counters – two full walls, about two feet high. And yet, I cannot justify the cash :o (

Then I find things like this online and it brings to the forefront how badly I want to tile. Not that I want to do a tile mural or heat sensitive tiles, but come on! That is awesome!

Not that I could do anything like this to my bathroom – we have full wall mirrors in the bathroom, and it would look silly any place other than over the sink. its just that looking at such cool tile ideas remind me of how broke I am :o (
