One thing we've learned while remodeling two bathrooms (other than it costs much more to remodel than to build new) is that the building trades are doing just fine--they are very busy here in Columbus. If they were sloppy or careless, the recession did them in (as it should--survival of the fittest). However, to avoid what Obama is doing to small businesses, they are running on very small crews and expecting a lot from their employees. I'm hoping deadlines can be met. We're expecting company in June, and I don't want to send them to the neighbors.
My husband was not fond of the wallpaper in the guest bath, but I sort of enjoyed it. High end decorators with big price tags, two men, lived in here about 23 years ago—I think this reflects their taste. The cabinets and doors are black. The guest bedroom had black carpet, yellow walls (lightened by the next owner from a dark green), and black and forest green checkered fabric on the walls and ceiling, plus pink roses drapery fabric with forest green completely covering the window. My husband said it looked like a funeral home.

Amazing what we thought was nicely decorated. Of course those pink towels are the final insult, how about some tasteful tan or brown to compliment the paper rather than clash. Or is that an artist's eye?
I love the pink towels and the tassles. With the black/beige/cream it really peps up the place. The new decor will be much more bland and dull. Sigh.
pink is susposed to be flattering but those bright pink towels Hardly
The decorators who lived here were gay; they picked the colors (orange dining room including ceiling, brown faux living room, red faux family room including ceiling. We toned it all down, but kept the decor of two of the bathrooms (one is still red).
So they were really gay??? You mean gay!! My kids would say the pink towels are 'gay'. Orange, cream, brown, tan or black would be a better choice in this decorator's eye.
The pink towels were chosen by me to go with the pink tassles. I suspect your dislike of my decorating is influenced by your politics. But really, orange?
