Murphy’s Law – A Bathroom Renovation
Well. I don’t often write about what can go wrong on a jobsite. But, being in the world of design and construction, the odds are, something will go wrong every once in a while.

April is national stress awareness month. Sounds gross. Feels worse. Stress is a real thing, unfortunately.
My assistant found this statistic:
At least 1/3 of Canadians feel that they are constantly under stress because they are trying to accomplish more than what they can effectively handle and not taking the time to decompress often enough.
The long-awaited day has finally arrived and here you have it Greenery 15-0343, Pantone’s 2017 colour of the year.
I don’t even know where to even begin with this one!! I think the general feeling about 2016 is let’s move on and get a fresh new start for 2017, and this colour will definitely send us in that direction. Greenery gives us endless possibilities with so many different applications and colour palettes!! Its just one of those colours that can blend into any style of space.
Our final goal at this residence was to make the very small and outdated bathroom more functional, and, of course, more visually appealing. The clients originally intended on increasing the size of the bathroom, but time constraints and the loss of much needed bedroom space quickly changed all of our minds.
Well, it was a beautiful morning in July, and my brand new clients asked me to come over and take a look at their bathroom. Ron, my contractor, told them how great I am and that before he even put a quote together, I should come up with a design.
That’s how it works, you see….how can the contractor quote something if he doesn’t know what crazy stuff the designer is going to ask for?
