Well it cooled down to 86 degrees tonight so we went to the summer concert. The band was local - as in they were a high school garage band when I was in junior high. We are sitting way back in the park under some trees for shade (and behind the "Dora" area where you can have alcohol). The stage is at the bottom of a hill and there are paved tiers for people in lawn chairs, you just can't see them. I heard attendance was about 200 people.
Meanwhile we did drag out the hardware for the bathroom.
As I suspected, it was a mix of metals. As you can see, the grab bars are brushed nickel.
And this is the fabulous light fixture I found. I am totally in love with it.
And the hooks, towel rack, toilet paper holder and stuff match the light fixture.
This is part of the shower stuff which is the brushed nickel - and it matches the sink faucet and handles.
Side story - I emptied this closet and all these things are now in one location so I know where they are.
Meanwhile:
It turns out that mixing metals in a bathroom is a new designer trick.
It's what all the cool kids are doing.
So my new story is that I did not mismatch metals by mistake, I am creating a designer bathroom!
In answer to questions -yes, a raised toilet! It was tricky to find one with a round seat so that it wouldn't block entry to the shower, but by gosh he found one!
I am really liking 👍 👌 this.
ReplyDeleteSo now you're definitely one of the Cool Kids that will have a Trendy Bathroom! *Winks* Updating Bathrooms and Kitchens is very important in any Home, it's what 'Sells' them to new Buyers. I know I felt in Luv with the Kitchen and Bathroom of this Home, even tho' the Bathrooms are both 1980 tiny and our McManse we moved from had Four Bathrooms and the Master was ridiculous, you could put furniture in it since it was so large. But, I really like our Bathrooms here, I Love the Granite Countertops, the Subway Tile in the Guest Bathroom, the Tile on the Floor of the Master Bathroom and in the Shower, and the Waterfall Faucets. The only thing I'd like to replace is the Lighting since it takes Custom Bulbs we simply cannot find and I want something easier to replace a Bulb with, so, we'll switch the Lighting Fixtures out in both Bathrooms with something Trendy Urban Farmhouse to match the Aesthetic already going on, but more Standard with it's Bulbs.
ReplyDeleteYou are a designer! Yeah for the high rise toilet!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I am that way with my dishes, glasses, cups, and whatnot. I don't match plates for sure and it irritates the heck out of some of my in [out] laws. I couldn't afford sets way back then so I picked up plates at sales that I liked.
ReplyDeleteI bet your bathroom will look amazing!
Finally I can comment directly without sending you and email! Yay! I love your mixed metals and we always knew you were ahead of your time in the design department! I m is when I used to go to outdoor concerts. When does the rehab start?
ReplyDeleteYou are so cool with your mixed metals! I love that light fixture too. Glad you got the raised toilet.
ReplyDeleteHow very chique of you! I bet you are getting excited.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard about the new trend in mixing metals, but there you go! You're right in with the popular kids. :-) I also enjoyed hearing the snippet from the band. Happy 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

You're so on trend! I matched metals. *hangs head* I shall never be stylish.
ReplyDeleteIt's so exciting to see it coming along! I love it (pick the metals you like. Plural!)
