So how many near-neck-breakings have you and your husband suffered from that glossy floor?

Hahahahah!! Paul, you're hilarious!!! :-D Great answers, but nothing beats your reply to the bidet lady!!!

Definitely DO NOT go glossy on a bathroom floor. The clueless homeowners who built our house put glossy dark green marble tiles in the ensuite. Doh!!!!

We're all doing pretty well! It's so much easier with the second kid compared to the first. Sleep is hard to come by but we're living on adrenaline for now. It'll catch up with us all too soon I am sure.

My kitchen is looking just lovely, these days. My GC kept things moving while I have been indisposed. I'm hopeful that this weekend I can take a new set of pictures and post an update.

Leigh, thanks for the compliment! Your landlord and your bathrooms sound just lovely. Not. Some people should be forbidden from owning property.

Rachele, thanks for stopping by. How's your bouncing baby boy doing? How's Mom holding up? I'm glad I could lighten your load a little. Your son will grow up hearing stories about the flurry of activity leading up to his birth and that's pretty cool. He'll have a real sense of ownership of those soapstone counters, that's for sure!

Thanks for a good laugh :). I can always count on your blog to be interesting or entertaining in my limited Internet surfing hours right now (the whole newborn thing!)

Oh thank you, thank you, Paul! I've gotta say, yours is my favorite design blog hands down.

My landlord put in laminate floors in our DC condo bathrooms. I think he thought they were puzzle pieces. Plus, he apparently cut the quarter round baseboard trim with a butter knife, and neglected to paint it. Maybe an housing downturn is what we need to get these people to care a little bit about their homes!

Re your post yesterday. From these replies I am going to add; on occasion you have a very warp sense of humour. :) "You are definitely your own person". I like that!!!! -Brenda-

Thank you Susan. I have zero tolerance for home center fixes going into otherwise classic homes. Spending your money intelligently? I'm all over it. Cheaping out? It ought to be a jailable offense.

Have a great day too!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE that!!
Why would anyone buy or accept possession of a Century home if they are not prepared to be good stewards of the property?
Half assin' just burns my buttons
Anywhoo, have a great day! Susan
