Spreadin’ Love

~ Laura

Loved this post by Harry about having to play the conservative as a professor with a class full of liberal students. He promises a post on NCLB. I’m looking forward to it.

Read two posts yesterday about homes. Michael Berube writes about moving into his new home in PA, and Melissa Summers dreams about home renovations. When we moved in here a year ago, I was a home renovation tornado, mostly because I thought that people were going to hold me accountable for the previous owner’s bad taste. “Soooo, wood paneling and flowered wallpaper, Laura? It’s, uh, really nice.” But snobbery segued to sloth, and projects are peetering out. I told Melissa that I had the ugliest bathroom in America and here’s the evidence:

  2. Okay I give you that it’s ugly. You have a few things going for you though:
    No mirror tile?
    Beautiful door, I love those kinds of doors I want to make a headboard out of one for our bed.
    Lovely window trim and the window isn’t in the actual shower.
    No drop ceiling like you put in the basement.
    Perhaps, in the name of the Ugliest Bathroom Pagent we’ll have to share pictures of the actual tub/shower area. I really think that’s where I’ll bring in the high marks.

  4. We should have the Ugly Bathroom Pagent. Maybe we can get Doug from TLC to give us a free makeover or something.
    MelissaS – my sister in law is a big fan of your blog, but we were discussing your bathroom and mine over dinner tonight and she says mine can totally beat up yours. I didn’t show the inner bath tub shot, because I can’t blame the soap scum on the former owner. That’s all mine.
    Yes, your mirrored wall and drop ceiling are lovely, but I’ve got a brown tile floor with pink flowered wall paper.
    So, bring it on sisters! My bathroom, aka the Brown Bomb, will kick all your asses.
