Bathroom Remodel Rant

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. I wanted to change just about everything in the guest bathroom, so I didn't do anything until I had all the stuff I wanted, new light fixture, new faucet, new knobs, new curtain, paint, switch plates, toilet paper holder, towel holder, etc. Maybe I should have just done a bit at a time. Anyway, I finally got it all, then started painting the bathroom this morning, and I just want to say thank you Home Depot Paint Worker. Mr. One-Quart-Should-Be-Plenty-for-a-Guest-Bath Man. I had about a two foot section left and I was smushing that paint roller down, trying to squeeze every last drop of paint out of the roller, using the tiny amount of paint left on the brush I used for the cutting in, so now it's kind of splotchy and I have to get ANOTHER quart. Oh well, it's on there good enough for me to put the cabinet doors back on and put the switch plates and light fixture and the other things up. I got some fabric from Ikea and made my own curtain (don't laugh) I can't sew to save my life, don't tell my grandma and aunts who worked in a sewing factory, that gene just did not come my way. But, I'm proud of my little makeshift $6.99 Ikea curtain. So, pictures will be posted soon, you know me, it just has to be perfect.

And cross your fingers that I don't electrocute myself when it comes time to switch out the light, I have no idea how to do that, and David is busy with another of our home upgrade projects, he put a big double gate in our fence on the side so we can park our new trailer in the back yard.
