The bathroom is finished! Well, phase 1 of 50 is finished. Yesterday morning I spackled the walls with the only tool I had available:

Do I have to pay a co-pay for this use?

Thankfully I wasn't doing some sort of "super pro" spackling job in the bathroom.  I mean, I wanted to, but in turn that would have made every other area of the wall look even dumpier than the holes and cracks I was trying to cover up. Not worth going all OCD on walls that need to come down sooner versus later.

So here's the mis-tint paint I purchased a couple of weekends ago.  Note that even though this is a temporary fix, I still had to figure out a color that looked somewhat okay with those snappy yellow and brown tiles, yellow sink, yellow tub, and yellow toilet (barf barf barf!) So with those restrictions, light beige seemed to be the winner.

What says "high class" better than a white lid on a yellow toilet?

In other news, today Mike and I found out that someone else will be joining us at our wedding in the mountains next weekend. Although we didn't exactly send out a formal invitation to Baby Peterson, we certainly are thrilled and equally surprised with his/her RSVP! It looks like my help in our house projects will come to a screeching halt and our priorities will be shifting to prepare for our new arrival in July 2011.
