So…this is what I would complete this history degree in and the timetable I would use to achieve it.
The house was built about 1923 and I have lived there since 1959. I did major rearrangement of fixtures and after going around town with my adult daughter (a real bonding experience) setted on a gray/silver laminate floor, white Home Depot fixtures, a taller toilet, pedastal sink, plain bathtub, and then an amazing turquoise Italian glass tile surround, to set the color theme for the bathroom. It is to have a Caribbean sea color theme, ranging from pale green to dark blue. Found an amazging blue light fixture, and then at Ikea a floor length mirror surround with tile matching the tub tile but including the darker shades of blue. Haven’t seen anything like it in the magazines or on the web.
