Well,
there's no new quilt this week! I got distracted by a home
improvement project that I've wanted to tackle for a while.
My
laundry room had an old plastic laundry sink that was functional but
kinda ugly. I had disguised it with a fabric skirt in 2017 but it was
still not exactly what I had in mind. Time for a change!
Before
Last
week we ordered a new vanity, sink, and faucet. Our installation took
2 days, since the cabinet had to be assembled and I painted the wall
after we removed the corrugated tin backsplash and old sink.
The
two of us are pretty handy around the house and have done many DIY
projects together. This one went fairly smoothly, with only one extra
trip to Ace Hardware for supplies. Luckily, basic plumbing is a skill
I acquired early on, since that was my daddy's profession.
New Vanity 2024
We changed the handles on the overhead cabinets to match those on the
vanity. I'm considering painting them white, but I sure hate to
paint over the alder wood since it's in great shape. We'll see.
Now
that we're done, naturally I see more things to update in other rooms. I guess
there may be fewer quilts finished this year, but we'll be having fun
redecorating our nest.
