The previous owners of our house had it all painted one colour - dusty rose. It has taken us quite a few years to upgrade every room of the house, still going after 15 years. No issues getting our money back if we ever sell the home.

Our entire house was renovated in 2016 (before we bought it, it was a flip) and most of the bathroom stuff is HGTV style and it's almost all ****ing trash. The sinks are flat basin type, which are possibly the worst sinks known to man for keeping clean. Full length mirror above the sinks; the bottom gets splashed constantly and the top is beyond my reach, while there are 2 nice light fixtures that will slice your hand off if you dare get close to them. And don't you worry, we have shiplap. I don't know why, but we do.
Heres why BB >

You who have been here know mom has a wall of Ship Lap and proud to say I installed it with a lil help from C-6 & my neighbors Nail Gun & compressor 
someday I may remove it and go to the grid wood you see I love that stuff, framed up 2" -3" wood in squares etc.

lil side note
years ago when they had OLD CHELLA instead of Cochella and featured the oldies Stones, McCartney etc... Paul wanted to checkie P&H out and did an impromptu secret show someone leaked it and a gazillion people came to get in which caused a slight problem as it only holds like 30 - 40 people

Thank you for giving me flashbacks. In my early 20s my then boyfriend and I briefly lived with his mom and it was pink overload. Dusty rose carpet up and downstairs, pink living room chairs with a flowered couch…It was all just a little too much for someone who hadn’t yet embraced her femininity
