Remodel

The bathroom remodel has been going along very smoothly up until yesterday. I hope this is not going to set it back or be a problem. When I got home from work last night about 9 pm I, of course, went in to see what had been accomplished. I kept looking at everything, it looks very beautiful even with the paint being wrong, which is another story, however something kept bugging me. I kept going back in and standing there and looking. Finally, I realised, some of the tiles are upside down. WE had porcelain tiles done on the bottom half and in the entire shower/bath area. There is a border tile around the top, which is smaller, narrow and has an ivy leaf pattern. The patterns don't match up in a few places. Ray has some upside down. This would probably not be a problem on the top ones, but in the shower area they are in the middle with other tiles yet on top. I am hoping it can be easily corrected, they are not grouted yet but are of course cemented in. We didn't order extras, they are ordered by the piece and if they break coming out it could screw us up for days I am sure. I am really hoping it is something that can be corrected easily.

On to the paint story, I love the color, so does my husband and the contractors. It is not the color I picked. I tried hard to find one that would match both the countertops and the tiles, its like two seperate rooms. I settled on a real pretty "brandied pears" from Lowes, which is not what I got, this has yellow in it. The Brandied Pears didn't. However, it is subtle and muted enough that it should still be very pretty in there.

Countertops are supposed to be coming today and I have my laundry room back as of last night! Its moving right along, now if we can fix those tiles it will be awesome.

I'm up early this morning, forgot how to sleep in, but the guys should be here by 9 anyways.
