House in Progress Diary

Just a few more entries and WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

This is from our pal Kristen who did the cocktail napkin thing but then really went all out with her Quark program! (Dig that Quark) (Remember to CLICK on the picture to make it larger!)

I'd love to have a free-standing clawfoot as a focal point in my bathroom, but I have the shower enclosure around mine in my tiny bathroom because it's functional. I'd love a more capacious shower for daily use, since I seldom have time enough for a bath and I usually fight with the shower curtains at least once each morning in my pre-caffeine haze. Still, I think it would be nice for you to take a tub after a long day of "deconstruction." You could find a salvage tub or they have some new ones in great colors that could be fun.

I love the look of side-by-side pedestal sinks and because you have so much other room for storage, you could get away with it since you don't need the under-the-counter space. You could do some great things with built-ins. I had drawn one version that created an arch bridging from the shower over the windows, with the tub set under the arch. The other side had a built-in shelves on the side to hold your bath salts, cup of tea, candles etc. Hard to reproduce in a line drawing though. Oh, the fun you could have in a bathroom that size!! My 35-square-foot bathroom and I are envious.

And, finally, the entry from our very good pal, Kitschywoman! (Over at AB Forum)

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Well, we will be judging these entries based on CREATIVITY! (Definition from our dictionary= "using or showing use of the imagination to create new ideas or things and making imaginative use of the limited resources available.")

If there is CREATIVITY + FEASIBILITY then, well, that gets our attention too, since we need a bathroom :)

The Winner will be contacted and asked to select a prize from our "Pile O' Prizes" (see details here) And then, we will post the winner and the prize they selected! We hope to be notifying the winner by Friday! (All of these entries are amazing...this is going to be really hard.)

In the meantime, we're back to regular programming. Hope you had a great Labor Day!
