When I woke up yesterday morning, I had an idea stuck in my
head. I don't know if I dreamed it, saw it somewhere and my subconscious shook
it loose overnight, or if I had a genuine original thought in my first waking
moments.
In any case, I had an idea for a project before my eyes were
even completely open. That just doesn’t happen. Especially that I SAW what it
should look like, at least roughly. That's something the mother does – not me.
When I got off work, I went to Home Depot and I found the
stuff to make it happen: 3x6 braid rope tiles. Correction – I found one version
of the stuff to make it happen. I came home with the "in stock" white
trim tiles to see if they would work, knowing that if they do, I will have to
buy the black "special order" ones. The black special order ones that
are almost TWICE the cost of the white in stock ones ... it never fails.
I think they will be a really cool accent to the black
ceiling, black and white newsprint wallpaper, white beadboard and black and
white hex floor. I guess it's a good thing that it's a small bathroom so I
guess it will be worth the price.
Now, I have to find a corbel or some kind of corner piece
for the tiles to butt up against in the two corners inside the shower surround. (For some reason, those corners aren't flush with the wall.) The good news is that there are such
things available in vinyl/plastic/PVC.
Always something, isn't it?
