I'm really glad we went with the "darker" color because even this is lighter than we thought it would be (although it's darker in person than it appears in the photo). The color is Krypton, and it's a mid-tone gray.

Project Hawaii
I have resigned myself to the fact that Project Hawaii is an epic fail. Well, maybe not epic, but definitely a failure. I've lost about five pounds since January. Pathetic, really. So I can fit into a few of the clothes I wanted to fit into before leaving for Hawaii, but not many. Sigh.
I have many excuses for why I didn't lose the weight... slammed at work, busy running the kids around, sick, shin splints, blah... blah... blah. But the fact is I didn't do what I needed to do, I guess. I got serious about the exercise part about a month ago and until about a week ago, that was going really well. I am doing better with the food intake, but apparently not well enough.
So... I will go to Hawaii, and I will look back on the pictures and see that I had a good time, and try not to notice how "fluffy" I am in them. :-(

The Great Bathroom Remodel
DAY 8 - Primer and Paint
Today the walls got primed, and the ceiling was painted. The dump trailer also re-appeared in our driveway.
Tomorrow is wall paint (Krypton!).
Friday and Monday: tile.
We are also getting the niche in the shower at no cost because of the freezer snafu of last week (wherein in a circuit was tripped/shut off unbeknownst to us and we lost everything in our chest freezer after it was off for the better part of a week).

The Great Bathroom Remodel
DAY 7 - ???
Well, the drywall guy was here and set up when I left this morning; however, it doesn't look any different to me tonight than it did last night. So I'm not sure what he did.
Today we got a choice between two tile designs for around the tub... option 1 was the one we had come up with at the beginning of the project, and option 2 is a new one the designer proposed. I think we're going to go with option 2. It spreads the glass tile out into two rows (above and below the other tile), rather having them together in two rows.
And I think we're going to stick with the Kypton colored paint. We had thought we were going to go lighter, but the designer, the project manager, and the owner of the contracting company we are using all think the two lighter shades will be TOO light. We liked the Krypton from the start; we were just worried about it being too dark. But they're the professionals, so if they think it'll be good, who are we to argue?

Day 5 - Day of Rest
No work was done on Friday.
Day 6 - Drywall
Not much to say about drywall. It's there. The seam goo is drying, I presume.

The Great Bathroom Remodel
DAY 4 - Electric
We have an electric box in place of the old one that will house two switches (one for the lights over the sink, and one for the bucket lights over the shower), and a timer for the fan. And we have a new electric box that will house a new outlet that is actually in a location that is usable! Woo hoo!!
The sheet rock that will be hung tomorrow is sitting outside... hope it doesn't rain tonight!!

The Great Bathroom Remodel
We are having our upstairs hall bathroom remodeled... by professionals... our first home improvement that we have not done ourselves, had my dad do, or had my dad help with. It's a big deal! :)
The project started on Monday with demolition... down to the studs. It will be done before we leave for Hawaii. Woo hoo!
I'll try to report progress every day. Today is Day 4, so below are updates from the first couple of days.
DAY 0: BEFORE
Taking a page out of my parents' book, we drew on the walls in the days leading up to the start of the project.
DAY 1: DEMOLITION!
During demolition, this was discovered in the wall. Might explain why there is no consistency in the span of the studs in our house!
DAY 2: DELIVERY
No progress IN the bathroom on Day 2, but our garage magically filled up with "stuff" to complete the project while we were at work! Here's a sample of the decor. (The dark spot on the tile is a shadow from the sink pipe.)
DAY 3: PLUMBING
We came home to new pipes and a bathtub!
