I have to admit...I've been "skirting the issue".

                                   

Yes, it is true...

I've been avoiding a problem!

I have two sinks in my house that I don't love. One is a pedestal sink that is in my small guest bathroom, and the other is in the laundry room.

For this week's Metamorphosis Monday 
and Transformation Thursday I want to
 share how I solved the problem in the
 guest bathroom. 

Please visit Susan (Monday) and
Gina (late Wed evening) to get their

link so that you may visit their blog

and see every one's new projects.

 My "Builder's Special" bathroom.

The guest bathroom is only 4.5' feet x 5.5',

and the sink bowl is too big and modern

looking. I would rather have a smaller,

rectangular, vintage looking sink.

 

I also don't like the fact that the sink is off

center... and you can see the plumbing!

Geesh!
What is wrong with those builders?!!

~~~

This sink has been a sore spot with me since
we moved into this pre-owned home.
All I wanted was the sink moved over to
the right by a mere two inches.

How hard could that be? Right?

Just so happens that this is one thing, er... one of the things that Mr. Man didn't feel the need to fix right away. I think he is somewhat of a procrastinator, but then... we have only lived here for... um... five years!

I hear what you are saying...

"Just go out and get a new sink and

make sure time it is placed correctly!!!"

Yes, okay, alright... I have tried. I have been visiting the "big two" and looking at sinks, vanity lights and faucets for months, and months, and well...

I can't make a decision and so I just put it off.
I guess we are both procrastinators.

Hmm...

 Guess we are actually a pretty good match,

that may explain the last 30 years...

It seems that we are becoming more alike

with each passing year.

Just kidding...

We only actually dress alike

when "lounging" at home.

Well anyway... one day my Mr. Man ran out on a quick 1/2 hour errand. Plenty of time for me to tackle that sink issue... all by myself !!!

Wouldn't he be surprised to see that I, single handedly, had finally taken care of our my problem.


When he arrived back home I announced that I
 had finally fixed that off center sink that had been bothering us me.

Well he gave me that "look".

This is not my Hubby's face...

(but the look is!)

It's the look that he knows... that he now has to fix a problem, that I caused... by doing something that he should have already done!


So anyway... he goes into the bathroom expecting to see the sink hanging off the wall, disconnected pipes, and water all over the floor.

Serves him right!

I wait for his reaction.
Doesn't take long.

It is a big sigh of relief... as if he is thinking that he still has his Saturday afternoon to do
as he had planned.

~~~

Well I had simply "skirted" the problem

as I sometimes do with

unpleasant issues.

Now my plans (for him) for the afternoon
 was to install the new faucet!

I love this faucet!!!

I will share with you another time how I made the skirt and what I used for the material. You can also

go look here for more of the bathroom pictures.

But for now make sure you take a look at all the other projects listed in Susan's Met Monday and also Gina's Thursday Transformation.
