I myself don\u2019t have a lot to say this week\u2026 I know, I\u2019ll give you time to catch your breath and register what I just said. In the meantime, I\u2019ll tell you about the week:\u00a0 Like I said we got Matthew and Shawn into their apartment. Notice I didn\u2019t say unpacked – I\u2019ll wager that will occur sometime just ahead of their next move in two years.<\/p>\n
And then the rest of the week was spent between going to the various home reno stores here in the city and doing our research on the internet figuring out the faucets, sinks, tubs and styles we want to go with. The picture is of the suite that we are going to use in the bathroom. We got it (everything except the tower) for a great deal at Rona<\/a> and even saved 15%. For the faucets, it looks like we\u2019re going with a line from Delta within the Brizo<\/a> brand. (tub & shower<\/a>) (lav<\/a>) (kitchen<\/a>) Very European, and very minimalist. And we\u2019ve found sinks and bath tubs<\/a> we like. Rest assured since this is a lot of what we\u2019re doing these days, its a lot of what we\u2019ll be talking about here.<\/p>\n Oh, and somewhere in there, we also did Danielle\u2019s taxes. That was fun. Except for the part that wasn\u2019t (which for those keeping track at home, is ALL OF IT!). Suffice it to say, we had to pay. And boy did we. Oh well, add that to money we\u2019re about to spend. I am starting to get a sense of Danielle\u2019s monetary trepidation about all of this. Scary\u2026 but the hell – life is that way.<\/p>\n There. There you have me not saying a\u00a0 lot. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This has been a week of learning. Learning about the amount of detail, the number of decisions needed to make a remodel happen. And learning that and that we have pretty pricey tastes :-). The end result will be incredible – let\u2019s just hope we can do everything on this growing wish list we have.<\/p>\n And we come to the thing that stresses me – the money. I fret by nature, I over think things, I stress\u2026 I know big shock to anyone who knows me. So the growing list of items to buy is starting to freak me out. We are waiting to hear back on some more key things to get a real idea of the costs, I will try VERY hard not to worry about what this will really cost until I have to. Can I guarantee that this proclamation will actually mean that I will not stress? Nope. But, I will try. Nothing is written in stone, we will look at all of the decisions and decide what is best for us, our pocketbook and for the end project. I am dreaming of the kitchen and bathroom that we have waited for nearly 6 years to get done!<\/p>\n On a completely non-renovation note – this is the week that one of my best friends is expecting her second baby\u2026 pretty exciting!!!! Well for us maybe not for the woman who is about to go into labour. But, for the rest of us non-labouring spectators it so is.. I cannot: wait to meet this little one; to see Paige as a big sister; and for this pregnancy to be over for Kari – it has been a brutal one for her. This is a message to my future niece or nephew \u201cbe nice to mommy and come out healthy and safe!!!!<\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well\u2026 Matthew and Shawn are back in town.
