Insomiac

Because I apparently have absolutely nothing better to do between 1am and 3am, check out what I got accomplished in the wee hours of this morning while jamming (and singing) to the Sister Act 2 Soundtrack:

That's right folks, I'm almost done. One wall left to do, and of course, I've saved what I anticipate will be the most difficult for last. There are several smaller cuts that have to be made to accommodate the plumbing on the opposite wall from the corner shown - and it's my intention to start on that tomorrow with hope to have this grouted by Sunday afternoon.

I got word today that the sink had been put onto a truck, and it's headed in this direction. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a quick and safe delivery. I'll keep it all a sort-of-secret til' it actually gets here and I can take a picture of it for you all to see. I hope you'll love it.

Of course, what's a bathroom sink without a faucet? I've got my eye on a few, all in a brushed nickel finish even though the pictures below are other finishes, and I'm hoping a blog poll will help me make up my mind:

Option 1

Option 2


Option 3

There's a poll set up on the sidebar. Feel free to pick one, and certainly leave a comment if you feel so inclined. I really miss reading them.

    Well, without seeing the sink (ahem)...I like 1 and 3. with 3 inching ahead. The tiling looks good!

    LOVE #1 and I definitely think you should send Whoopie pics of your tile job. How cool would it be to see your bathroom on The View!

    Options 1 or 3, please. Bridge faucets rock my little world. Kudos on the tile. We did the white with the black accents in our bath, too. Classic.

    Faucet 2 or 3. Nice job on the tile. It is amazing what we do when we can't sleep!

    Woo hoo, you are really making headway! My choice is the bridge faucetS. In order; number one but a tad more simplistic in design or number three if using the sonces you and I recently discussed.
    Wishing a safe delivery of your sink.

    You are seriously making me want to do a bathroom again!

    I went for option 1. I think the 2nd bridge faucet is a little too "throwback" and I think the first has cleaner lines so it straddles the line between classic and contemporary.

    I'm playing it 'safe' with my choice at #2. Now, what I really want to know is when are you coming to Georgia to re-do MY bathroom!?!?! They are OLD, standard, BOOORING! LOL The tile looks AWESOME!

    I like #2 the best - I'm always thinking about cleaning what I purchase! Sally

    From one insomniac to another...
    When I paint (in the wee hours), I love having the movie, Sister Act 2, playing...loudly.

    Love the tile work! Without seeing the sink, I lean toward #1.

    Great job and think nothing of working at that hour as it's when I'm at my best!

    I went with No. 3 as the white handles give a vintage look plus picking up on your white tile.

    I sort of have that combination of tile laborer and show tune singer in my mind and can't quit smiling!

    It looks great.

    The tile looks so good! I know you saved "the best for last." That 3rd wall will be a challenge. I love the first and the 3rd faucet. Actually, the 3rd one is more unique.

    I could probably accomplish just about anything while listening to that soundtrack! It looks great! Love faucet #3 to bring out the subway tile--hope you get a nap! Happy Valentine's Day and good luck with the rest of the bathroom!ps-I'll be dancing with the Jersey Boys this weekend :)

    Artie~ while you were constructing a tiled wall, I was constructing Conversation Heart petit fours in the early AM, which I refer to as o'dark 30. We've got one vanity down with a brushed nickel finished faucet. Although I'm really drawn to faucet #1. Mine looks very similar to #2.
    I'm sure either will be a good match that you'll be happy with.

    Sweet Valentine wishes,
    Sara

    I like #1 by far and #3 is an acceptable 2nd choice, just don't choose #2!! Good luck....
