New Medicine Chest and Shower Rod

November 2, 2007

Here is an exciting post. It’s about the new medicine chest and shower rod we bought last night.

We had to go down to Sam’s Club anyway, so we decided to hit Lowes first. We needed a few things, with the medicine chest being the most important. The shower rod and the little chrome thing that goes around the shower spout came in second and third.

Since we decided to stay with the white vanity, the shopping was easier. It’s much easier to match white than woodgrain. The only thing you have to keep your eye on is the bevel designs. Everything is so damn cheap anyway, I’m not sure it even matters.

So, here are some pics –

Bathroom Medicine Chest and Mirror

As you can see, we decided to keep the current lighting (it has a bulb out). I just unhooked it from the wall and cleaned it up a bit. Then, I reinstalled it slightly higher, to accomodate the longer medicine chest. I like this new chest because it is more “classic” than the old tri-pane one.

Here is the new shower rod. I know, how exciting can shower rods be? Well, when your old one tore the paint off the wall and fell down all the time, a new one can be kind of fun. This new one is nice and heavy and screwed into the wall.

In other news, I ran down to the tile place in town again today and picked out the tile. We ordered it. They are going to give me a call with the availability for installation. I met the owner…he is a nice guy. I am glad I decided not to “Home Depot” this job.

I also ran over to the hardware store and picked up one of those big wax sealer things for the toilet. We need to temporarily remove it for the tile installation. The tile dude told me to get the biggest one I can find, to accomodate the new height of the floor.

    Nicely Done! I thought you were going with some sort of dark wood look for the medicine chest etc. I like the white, it really looks great.

    Thank you. We were going to get the darker wood, but decided that since we are only going to be here for a few more years, it would be nice to save the extra grand that would’ve cost and keep what we have. The next people can decide what they want to do. Everything is in great shape, so it’s not a problem.
