All I needed was a gallon of paint and maybe a roller cover, so this little bathroom improvement would be well under fifty bucks. (You're laughing at me right now, aren't you?)
I couldn't handle knowing that there was a "blank" spot behind the toilet, so Hunneypunkin took it out in order for me to paint behind it. Naturally, it broke.
I had this tall skinny shelf that would fit nicely between the cabinet and the toilet, if the cabinet were half as wide, so, why not take out the cabinet, cut it in half, paint its ugly self to match the walls, put it back in, and stuff that tall skinny shelf beside it? There was a filthy, ratty chunk of carpet underneath the cabinet, and if we had moved that chunk of carpet BEFORE we cut the cabinet in half, we'd have discovered that the linoleum had been installed around the cabinet. Oops. Shopping for floor tile... This wouldn't happen to me if I were awesome like Jeremy Renner.
Hunneypunkin decided that since the budget was already blown, and we'd just replaced that lovely gold-colored toilet (did he break it accidentally on purpose?), we may as well replace that lovely gold-colored sink as well. Close your eyes, bite your lip, swipe the card. We'll just wait another month to buy groceries.
A few short years later, the new water-saver toilet doesn't save much water when it requires three flushes per use. The new sink is sporting a little gouge from a slip of Hunneypunkin's tools. The walls are still much prettier than they had been to start with, but I'm not sure a paint job was worth that many Benjamins.
BAAAHaaaa!
