I was tagged by Claire. And my task: Go to the 6th picture folder and the 6th picture and explain it. Then tag 6 more people.
Here it is. Straight from the Trading Post Folder. The lovely "before" shot of the apartment house bathroom in Rockwood. The memories, the mildew.... whew. This shot is post-cleaning, detoxifying, sanitizing and ridding the tiny bathroom of filth. The walls were covered with CONTACT PAPER. It was very easy to strip, a blessing in disguise. It's now painted a boring beige, and I've added a little artwork where the plastic wall clock is hanging out. I have plans to paint the cabinets and replace the nifty 70's drawer knobs soon. The linoleum will be replaced in the next week (or so I'm told). The strangest improvement we had to make to this bathroom was replacing and rehanging the door. It opened into the room, and because the bathroom is so tiny and the toilet bowl is elongated, the door had to be notched out to clear the rim. Picture this, you are sitting on the throne and there are two little holes on the side of the door frame where you can see out. So bizarre the things we find in this place. My solution was mount a new door that opens OUT. Much better, more room to maneuver without that crazy door in the way.
So there you have it. I tag Lori, Becca, Stacie, Cheryl, Angelica, & Kristin. What's your 6th of your 6th?
