Yesterday we had a plumber come to repair a leak. The bathroom sink decided we needed to spend some money. After leak fix a new problem developed with the handles of this said sink being fairly ancient ~ 1983 models they finally died a slow death. They would not fully shut off. ~ Had to tell Mr. Fishlips "honey we must get new ones".
So I ran to Lowes to select a new modern look.
Except for one thing...Mr Fishlips wanted to keep the look with the rest of the fixtures. Meaning that trashy look of the 80's 'Gold'. A hangover from his ex-wife when they remodeled that bathroom.

So the only model of Gold sink handles and faucet where this selection:
They are nice is all I can say.
Gold is Not my taste but I'm keeping Mr. Fishlips happy which makes my life easier and happier. At least I got the more modern look which I wanted!
We are going to be doing several remodeling projects this coming year. Bathroom will be getting updated...new floor, jetted tub, new tiled walls, etc etc. Living room will be getting hardwood floors instead of carpet. Kitchen will be completely remodeled - turning everything one whole wall move. Plus new windows through out house! So as we progress I'll post the little changes.
We have talked about adding a family room and second floor on the back of house for years...that might become a reality also in the next year or so. Although I rather have my 30' RV. At our age going up and down stairs does not thrill me. Stairs are the one thing older folks complain about the most...I rather be traveling not climbing stairs!
