You see, I’ve been working away at ripping out all this landscaping fabric and pink stone that we’ve got in every single flower bed around this house.. During the process I’ve had images in my head of big full perennial garden planted to the brim, with something always in bloom, perfectly timed with the seasons.. Then I realized that’s a whole lot of plants.
This part of the house had been made wheelchair-accessible at one point so the toilet was on a little pedestal, which was a pretty entertaining conversation starter if anyone ever happened to see it when we were showing them around.But still, gross.

Bad news.. …And this was the vanity area.I really don’t miss the pink paint with the maroon wallpaper border, believe it or not!.OK. Now that that’s out of the way, on to the fun stuff!

Here’s the bathroom now!.Is that even the same room?.

We moved the door so you now enter in from the back hallway in our master bedroom instead of right across from the bed and added a waaay bigger window too.
Then, of course we ripped out every inch of wall and floor in here and completely rebuilt them.And then I didn’t hear from them for three weeks, so I just assumed that was what we would do..
So, I was kind of enjoying all of the quietness on the book-front and getting back into thinking about focusing all of my efforts on my blog again, kind of stressing over that crazy title, kind of stressing over whether or not they were going to make me re-write the whole book, and just not thinking about the photo issue at all.But mostly just trying to enjoy the quiet.
🙂 And then there came the email that changed everything.They had read the manuscript and loved it!
