I don't know what it is about renovations, but unless you are preparing for an HGTV episode, it always seems that the last few details can take the longest to accomplish. You can work so hard to get all the main things done, but when it comes to hanging the towel bar or finishing up the trim, all of a sudden time just flickers by. I think part of the reason for this is that the room is in a functional state as you near the end of the reno and the small details get pushed to a level of lesser priority. And sometimes you just are not sure how to finish it off, let's be honest! Design magazines always caution that the hardest part of a renovation or a new room design are the final details and the accessories. I don't doubt that one tiny bit. It's much easier to pick flooring and cabinetry than to sit there and figure out if you should hang mirrors or art work over the couch, what colour and pattern drapery, and if the cushions should match the drapes or pull in an entire new pattern or colour palette. I think the best designers are the ones that can pull those final pieces together with the least amount of stress. In fact, that's probably what makes them designers and everyone else just hopeful decorators.
All that to say, I hope that I will have pictures of the bathroom to post this week!
