I have a milestone birthday coming up and while I was eyeing off a Cartier Love bangle a few tiles in the back bathroom fell off the wall. Sigh. Of course further investigation revealed we have a corroded pipe behind the tiles. Bye bye Cartier bangle and Hello Plumber, renderer, tiler!
Anyone else feel sad about spending $$$$ on home repairs when a lovely piece of bling would be MUCH preferred.
We are redoing the whole bathroom and the laundry. I was absolutely astounded by how many types of taps there are! How does anyone make a decision when there’s 17 pages to scroll through online (no retail shopping due to lockdown here). I gave up by page 3 and went “yep, they’ll do”. Plumber then wanted to know what laundry tub I wanted, more choices there. And tiles OMG. There are about 10 million tile choices, ok slight exaggeration but seriously, how do people decide. I just went with white. Vanity and cabinet will be black. Walls will be a violet blue colour, floor is dark grey.
It will look lovely once I survive the tradespeople and mess but a Cartier Love Bangle would have more much more lovelier!
