Finding inspirations for Pat's room. Last time I did anything to the guest room, I just added the brass sconce. Since Pat left most of his belongings here, I assume he'll be coming back and reclaiming the room. So, I want to make it more of his style. You see, he's a historian professor, fluent in several languages (including French, Italian, German, Russian, Spanish, and some Chinese). I'm hoping to make the room more masculine with a modern twist.
After finding a small leak in the shower head, we decided to just redo the bathtub/shower. It's one of the things we didn't do during the last remodel 2 years ago. We have one of those skirted jacuzzi tubs with the jetting system. It's extremely annoying and hard to clean those jet sprays because you just can't get to those every nooks and crannies. We hardly, EVER used it, too. And we have a glassdoor that overtime, it looks kinda filthy because, again, it's hard to clean every surface. We want a redo with new tiles and shower curtains. Keeping it simple.
Our wishlist would be simple white subway tiles with a shower niche to hold all our shampoos, conditioner, soap, loofahs, face wash (because there are his and her's). Thinking long-term, if we ever move, we want the bang-for-your-buck, so we still want a tub for the shower. Resale value is always better with a tub and allows us to use a shower curtain instead of a glass door. (We figured we can always install a glass door when we move.) For the shower head and hardware, we night go with traditional nickel brush. I would LOVE gold, brass, or rose gold, but replacement parts are hard to find. Again, we're thinking simplicity.
INSPIRATIONS
It's been over a year since she was born and I haven't done much to her room except hang 3 vintage Disney vinyl records. Since she's getting bigger, we thought about upgrading her crib to an actual bed (and just purchase bed rails). Sometimes when she's having a hard time falling asleep, one of us (most of the time it's me) will lay next to her until she falls asleep. This is done on our bed but she wakes up in the middle of transferring her from bed to bed. And, Jason is thinking even longer terms that maybe when she have sleepovers, a larger bed would work. And really, I just need to liven up her room because it's kinda boring.
