Is There A Right Decision?

Back in October I asked for your help deciding on whether we should go with the skinny blue tile or the beige tile with cream flowers for the main bathroom at the cottage.

The feedback was pretty much 50/50. Half liked the blue, half liked the beige.

And after a few weeks of staring at tile boards, I did something I’ve never done before.

I stepped out of my comfort zone and picked what I liked the best.

Not the safe bet {white subway tile or something more neutral} but something a little risky, something a little more exciting. Something other than white or beige.

What started as a coastal vibe with cool, calm colors over at the cottage has turned into… Just pick all the things you like and see where it takes you.

I’ve never really done that before and in some ways it’s been really fun and freeing and other times I just hope I’m making the right decision.

But is there a right decision?

I don’t know. But what I do know is that I like what I’ve picked out so far. Even if I don’t quite have all of the puzzle pieces right now.

Confidence. Maybe that’s what I have.

Or maybe I’m past the point of worrying about what the NEXT person who lives here will want/think/care about.

Well it’s done! The tile floor and the shower walls are done and we’re both really happy with the way it turned out.

Next up is picking out a vanity.

Once we decide on one of those we can get the facet hardware {and order matching hardware for the shower}.

The first round of vanities we picked out for the bathrooms were a no-go. The quality of the cabinets were awful. So back to the store they went.

Before they went back though we hauled the 18” vanity upstairs to see what it would look like in the main bathroom.

It fits! A little snug, yes. But an 18” vanity fits with no alterations needed to the existing plumbing.

Plus we’ll gain a little storage space if we go with this style of vanity.

We had thought about putting in a pedestal sink but anytime you can squeeze in some extra storage in a teeny tiny house it’s always a good thing.

We just have to find the right vanity. 😉

I did find a sconce that I liked though. But we aren’t going to install it {or the floating shelves that will go behind the door} until we have a vanity in place.

Fingers crossed that by the time spring rolls around the bathrooms will be done! I think we’re moving at a pretty good clip overall.

Even if some days it does seem like it.

Well, that’s all I’ve got for today. I hope you have a good one. 🙂

Peace out,
