still looking.....

still looking for just the right cabinet to replace our sink ........................................ this bathroom was remodeled thirty yrs. ago .......................... still can't believe mr. prairie blue agreed to remove a perfectly normal bathtub to install this clawfoot .................. we installed old barnboards ........... had a barnboard cabinet built and a brick tile floor ..........this old wall mounted sink is starting to rust in the bottom ........ only one of the two faucets now work ................................ ready to move on to a little different look ........................ thinking of painting the boards with a wash of paint .................................... can you believe until ten years ago, this was our only bathroom ....... no shower......and this tub is a short one .................... quite the experience for mr. prairie blue and our two daughters that are tall as well ............................................. so glad they love me and put up with "the look"!.................. so i now will continue on looking for just the right thing to come along ..................................... 

............................................... i am blessed !
