Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

After it taking forever to get a contractor to talk to us about our bathroom remodel, we found one who wants to start next week! So now we're scrambling to clear space in the garage to receive deliveries of tile, fixtures, and the like, not to mention clear out the two bathrooms slated for reconstruction. Also we need to make up our mind about just what tile, fixtures, etc. to get, and quick-like. Which brings us to the eternal debate:

Dylan: We must respect the mid-century modern style of the house.
Me: Awww. Don't wanna!

Currently, this involves me pleading the case for this as the floor tile for our tiny master 3/4 bath: [link]

I think it would be gorgeous in an otherwise simple room, one with white walls and simple, non-fussy choices for the vanity, shower tile, fixtures, etc. But it's decidedly not mid-century modern.

Princess? Would she accept the title of princess of Halloween? But erika's suggestion is good.

I can maybe convince her if she can have her ow minions.

I like that tile, Susan!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That is really cool tile!

I know, right! (Though I have a feeling this weekend will involve visiting a specialty tile store or two and seeking a compromise.)

I've told a friend before (unintentionally) that the lurkers support them in email.

Note to self: check to see if a phrase on Buffistas is an American pop culture thing or an internal Buffistas lingo before trying it with non-Buffistas.

That tile is lovely. And star patterns were huge in the late 1950s, due to the popularity of the space race. I think an argument could be made for that being at least mid-century modern adjacent.

Yeah, what Calli said! That tile is beautiful and you should go for it!

This morning ltc was so excited to tell me one of the kids in her class wears a leg brace. She’s such a sweetie.
