Home improvements

My itch to retile the bathroom is getting severe. (For viewers just now tuning in, the one public bathroom in my house has a tub-surround tiled in Mary Kay Pink. No, a little darker: Pepto-Bismol Pink.)

Etiology: Trying to take a weekend day off work results in me being inside my house.
Symptoms: I re-read the tiling book and the bathroom remodel book.
Prognosis: Those books are very effective and I am well on my way to being cured of this outbreak. Removing me from the house would speed recovery.

I've seen stickers for applying to tile. Maybe they could help?

I know the color you have - my MIL's bathroom is the same color. I like pink, so I'd keep the color if it were mine.

Hmm, maybe! I haven't seen those.

Wish I could trade ya. What color do you have?

Here's an example

My bathroom tile is off white and brown. Mark won't let me do it in pink - we did enough with the bathrooms just pulling off the 70's foil paper and painting over it :(

Oo, nifty flowers.

I'd trade with ya! :-) I wish that sort of thing were possible. I have a friend a ways north of me who'd take our pool, too.

You can have the one that's attached to the pool, if my friend up the peninsula doesn't want it. The hot tub that's not attached to anything, we're keeping! :-)

Sadly, I can't even claim that this tile needs any work. It's in great shape and in that sense it would be sad to rip it out. But it's pink.
