Picture Choirs of Angels Singing

Hallelujah! The bathtub faucet is in!!
Without going into too much detail about all the tub faucet stress...
humming and hawing about whether to pay the plumber a million dollars (almost) or try to install the thing ourselves.
Installing a faucet? .... "elementary" you say...
not even close - try Ivy League.
Try 21 solders to create a copper pipe contraption that will get all the pipes and water going to all the right places - including 4 solders inside the small hole squished next to the toilet that the plumber would have taken out. (And consequently, would have to rebuild because it is so old.
$$ Ka-Ching!)
At that moment, I wondered if we should have just paid the million dollars and called it good. Open flames make me a bit nervous.
But all is well, and the tub looks beautiful - minus the hole we need to patch up. Phew!

I realized that I never did an "after" picture of the girls' princess bathroom. I love how it turned out.

I love the Princess Bathroom especially the pictures. If you ever need help with anything, Mitchell is a handyman and he will just come and help you. He usually just asks that the parts are paid for and that is it when a friend needs help.

Woohoo! I know this has been a patient process! We're starting tile this week and I'm just praying that we don't have many unexpected conflicts!!

I love the frames you put in the girls' bathroom!
