A Bathroom for Christmas?
What’s James getting me for Christmas? you ask. (OK, I have no idea how to punctuate that sentence. Does it need quotes? Should the whole thing have a question mark after it? I need a grammar refresher course.)
My gift is a bathroom with no leaks. Merry Christmas to me.
Over at One Project Closer they’ve got a post all about how I remodeled my little bathroom for the cost of one can of paint. If you, too, want a new leakless bathroom from Santa….go on over and check it out.
I still haven’t decided what to monogram on the chair in that bathroom. I am ignoring all of your crude humor and figuring it out for myself. I don’t know what has happened to the quality of readers on this blog. You all used to be so sophisticated and savvy. Now you make potty jokes. It’s like writing to a bunch of little boys.
My little Elijah (age 7) has a real thing for potty humor. When we’re all at the dinner table chatting and I notice he’s not paying attention, I just have to work the word “underwear” into the conversation. He perks right up and starts to giggle. Why do boys do that? What is so funny about toots and burps?
And “The Three Stooges.” The humor there is completely lost on me.
I think I’ve gotten off track with this post. Where were we? Grammar? Underwear? Oh yes!
I hope you’ll hop over to One Project Closer and see more of what I did in my bathroom/Christmas present.
OH my you left me cracking up this morning! Yep the use of the phrase “cracking up” would most definitely set off a round of “potty” or even “chicken/egg” humor in our house. You would think that as they grow older and more refined/mature such humor would diminish… personally i think they just feed off each other (its kinda like inciting a crowd to riot.)
Ok the real reason for this comment is to say how lovely your new bathroom is. In fact it has inspired a wave of decorating/redecorating in our home (much to the chagrin of my wonderful husband but he is so good about it… as long as the bed and floor in our room is clear he is fine as long as it doesn’t last TOO long! ) And my husband really likes your bathroom!! (we are no in the market for a claw foot tub as our bathroom only has a shower…) Which means me are checking out the local “antique” shop where they always have interesting finds…. for VERY reasonable prices! Thank you for the inspiration!
I have a question…are the doors attached to the wall now or do they just lean against it?
I really like your burlap curtain with the ruffled skirt…
Congratulations, well done!
Dear Gifted Grammar Girl,
I am always amazed when “great minds think alike” (not that I am 1/2 as talented as you, but still.) I had already decided that this grand-bedroom-project I am on should be our Christmas present this year. I don’t know how the kids are going to take it. Let’s see, the family is gifted, because Mom and Dad got their room done finally after 7 years of waiting, and all the kiddos have had theirs done at least once in that time…..
Heading over to the other site to ‘read about it in the papers’
love,
gkey
