In Which Bad Turns Into Good

Many of you may remember a recent column when I suggested that mothers start male potty training (i.e. the use of toilet paper for blotting purposes) rather than let them continue using Male Toilet Paper - shake and go.

David of Silva Construction made a house call Monday and defied my theory by saying that it was simply a case of the flooring outliving its normal life span.  Although I must say that 30+ years seems like a good span indeed.

Outcome:  I am re-doing the whole room.  I picked out a new vanity yesterday - grey bead board-cut wood for the front face with a white china basin.  The walls are already a light grey, so give the baseboards a coat of dark grey.  The flooring is to be white oak which has a grey-ish tinge to it.

Cape Cod/New England-style.

Am already making out a mental guest list to come inspect it.    Foregoing breaking a bottle of champagne over the toilet.  Perhaps just glasses of cranberry juice.
