Finally! The design is out of my head and on to paper! My brain gets stuck in this doom loop when I am working out a design (thank you work!) so I woke up at 4 am thinking about the details. My brain can't rest until it is on paper and I am satisfied.
Jade, pale yellow and cobalt blue. My tub is pale yellow, which the malibu tile and mural will pick up. Field will be teal with a bit of color variation edged in cobalt.
Floor will be in jade with 1 inch yellow tiles in an offset pattern.
I am happy. It highlights the arch without adding too much. It sticks to 1930's vibe, and uses the malibu tiles hubby was set on. The right amount of Tile! Vs restraint, using the orginal features.
And I will soon have plumbing capable of fully flushing the toilet, and doesn't occasionally back flow into the shower

OMG I found a match! I can save my vintage 1935 cast iron bath tub! I thought I was going to have get it enameled white to actually match anything modern, but this pale yellow works.
We thought we would lean into the colorful tiled 1930's bathroom. While it wasn't super common, Spanish tiles do pop up occasionally in Art Deco baths. And definitely the teal we are looking at.
Now comes the hard part, picking which accent tile design, and if I want subway or 4x4. Engineer that I am have already done scale drawing of the tile work.
Looking forward to new plumbing the most, having a toilet that reliably flushes and a shower you don't need a wrench to turn off.

Making some progress on my plaster bathroom restoration project.
If I was going to paint I was going to fix the weirdness. The cracking was much worse than I realized and someone had skim coated over wallpaper. So I've stabilized the cracks and have taped over most of them, but am still struggling with some well adhered (and moldy) wallpaper. If anyone has any ideas on how to remove it let me know!

Mōrena peeps back at the window. I did not finish last nigth. Paint all gone now. May the sanding begin… #DYI #OldHouses
Back to having regrets. What possessed me. I’ll never finish this. The Italians are coming for lunch at 1 tomorrow. grkgfavbjhtjnbbbhh 😱 #DYI #OldHouses #NZTwits
I’m at the stage where I am starting to regret having started #DYI #NZTwits #OldHouses
Mōrena peeps. Please bear with me with my DYI updates. I’m attacking a long overdue paint stripping project. Wish me luck #DYI #KiwiTwits #OldHouses
Dammit! Got all the furniture moved where I want it so I can hang art and my frakking floor is uneven so I have to move my bookcase to another wall and figure out what to do with the mirror now. Ugh. #OldHouses are never level.
New plan for the freeze: close up the entire crawlspace with roofing felt. We found some at the Jefferson Lowe's after running around last night, the hardware stores in the city are all out of it.
Draining the plumbing at night is really tempting too.

I spent a few hours crawling around under the house this weekend trying to wrap pipes before the upcoming freezes. I failed in this project, as I can't fit under the back half of the house without digging ahead of myself.
Spouse was concerned I'd hurt my shoulder, which has a rotator cuff tear, but thankfully I did not. Instead, I hurt my other shoulder and can now barely lift that arm. Ugh.
Distance -> Close-up, my sad water-logged ceiling.
A hobby of mine is writing about the many historic homes in my community. If you like that kind of thing, you might want to check them out.
