Kicking off bathroom week

That's right! The bathroom reno starts Monday. Super exciting. The shelves arrived on Friday and they fit in perfectly with the whole white ceramic thing we have goin' on. They are almost exactly the same size and shape as the top of our toilet and so I think they'll look neat stacked above it. There are actually three, but I didn't feel like unwrapping the third one.

I dig how perfectly they go with the toilet-paper holder. 

I didn't want our other bathroom to feel left out so I'm working on giving it a mini facelift. 

The first thing to go was this terrible woodgrain toilet seat. All those teensy germ-collecting grooves freaked me out.  

Even if that toilet seat hadn't been 50% off, this would have been SO WORTH IT. Plus, it was really easy. 

I also replaced the toilet handle. I just picked the new one up at the hardware store. It is a little bit too mod for the toilet, though definitely an improvement on the old, grubby one.   I wish I could get it to sit straight instead of at an angle, but the reason for that has more to do with the inner workings of the toilet and I don't feel like messing around in there. 

What is with that froofy toilet top?? What is wrong with just getting a plain toilet?? Will I ever have answers to these questions? I think not. 

Pretty sweet brick floor though, huh? Those tiles are stupid and ugly (and you can't even see the worst part...). I bought new taps for the sink in there and I hope I can get the bathroom guy fit them for me sometime this week. See little bathroom, I love you too!
