The NEW versions of the aquas & blues are beautiful. The one in the dining room has been there...for MANY MANY years...it might help it if it were CLEAN...
Okay, here's the pic of the bathroom pedistal I was trying to figure out how to cover the plumbing stuff...
The plumbing stuff just looks tacky...it isn't hurting anything being exposed...

Hellz bellz! Put the waste basket somewhere where it blocks the view of the plumbing and you'll never notice it again! My plumbing (and pedestal sink) look just like that! Put a flower over yonder and look at IT when you're sitting there instead of a plumbing!

I have to agree with Bill, Some big pots and plants would look really good there.

Do you remember those funky beads they hung as room dividers back in the 60's????
Maybe hang something like that... maybe just in the back??? I have seen that style of hanging stuff with some type of seashell too... Course, looking for seashell theme like that, you might be searching a long time.. but I have seen them..
That way, it might cover it up, just enough for you not to see all of the plumbing in one view, but can still see the pedistal effect???

vanessa, you can put a taught string between around the top of the pedestal, with eye bolts in the wall behind the sink. then run a "curtain" and you can store your tp and stuff behind it, and it will slide out of your way when you need to get to what ever is back there. if you use a blue wavey pattern, you can make it look like the shell (sink) is "floating" on the waves (curtain)

Checking out all the pics and photos. It is looking good Vanessa. I agree with the big plant idea and painting the plumbing to match the walls. It'll look fine.
I am so excited for you!

Yep the sink was there...and I am leaning towards the big plant idea except there is no sunshine in there at all...maybe a curtain...who knows.
We finally got the doors back on and the trim replaced (from getting the fridge in) Got the fridge leveled and running. Got the trim down on the bathroom floor and calked around the tub...working on the pantry shelves right now and Darin & Lisa are painting the dining room RED!!! I had the paint left from my red kitchen in Horatio...Got all the lights & ceiling fans up & running and MY BED put together complete with MATRESSES.....(thanks to my friend) I am gonna sleep in HEAVEN Monday night.... I fixed the chicken spaghetti w/salad & garlic bread for Darin's painting birthday party and we ate around 1~ish... our first "real" meal in the new house...it was fun. Had to get Peanut back here for bath, meds & bed so I am power packing the rest of the night....whew...did I metion that I am pooped????

Vanessa, your accomplishments are amazing. I'm tickled pink for you (and pink is really not my color.) I am perusing rocks, trying to find one that says "Vanessa" to me. How about peanut-shaped?

I hafta get this rock mailed off to you! And I have a fish for P~nuttie's bathroom!!! You might try a silk plant next to the sink Nessa, that way you don't have to worry about soap and things getting spilled on it and killing it. I have seen some silk pothos that look pretty nice and aren't all that spendy either.

Vanessa, I went back and looked at your sink again...
Would those little cabinets that squeeze in between the sink and potty and would hold storage in.. and also cover up the back of the sink from side view????

I think I am sticking with the plant...I have to have room for Peanut's potty...and the bathroom is really tiny. I'll put a plant there to give him something to play with while we are potty training...yep..it's almost time to start that!!!! Got the dining room finished today all exept the bottom trim...the paint was not drying fast enough for me to be able to do it...and the big hole I had to patch in the wall wasn't dry...so, those 2 touch up things are all that is left in the dining room. Got the shelves in the bathroom in and papered, the shower curtain rod up and curtain on it..and the last of the trim (except the corner round at the top) done. All the floors swept and cleaned again ready to unload the stuff from here ...tomorrow. Packing is not going well. Hub is completely down now so it is all in my lap...did I mention I am NOT having FUN!!!!

Oh, I am NOT giving up (or in) I don't care if I just get stuff thrown in that house...I can go through and sort & organize later...much later. You know what they say..."no pain, no gain".... I am so thankful for the house that I am trying not to complain about the pain part....I just will be glad to have the "move" part behind me....oh happy Wednesday!!!!!!

She said she would have internet in a few days...had to run some wires to the room where the computer will be, but first had to get the washer and dryer hooked up. Peanut needs some clean clothes!
And this is the best part... Peanut got on the phone 3 times and gave me 3 BIG kisses! BIG BIG KISSES!
