Week 48 has been a busy one but it was a good week! On Tuesday we started our bathroom renovation and it didn't start so great. When our contractor removed the toilet in the guest bathroom he discovered that it had been leaking as it was not installed properly. Whenever someone flushed the toilet a lot of water would find its way under the tile. We never saw any water around the toilet and it never came through to the basement, which is directly below. Luckily only the hardwood floor underneath was badly damaged and the subfloor was still in good condition. The guest bathroom was installed in what must have been the kitchen originally before the addition was built, which houses the kitchen now and the master bedroom above. After the addition was built the kitchen probably became a bedroom, hence the hardwood floor under the tile...
On Friday I passed by a Club Monaco store that had gorgeous window decorations. The windows were curated by Fox and Flyte and apparently everything in the windows is for sale. I need to check the price for the mobile but I guess it will be out of my reach. Saturday we strolled around the City to check out the Christmas decorations everywhere. I still love to look at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree but I have to admit I am not a big fan of the crowds that surround it ;) Yesterday I stocked up on German Christmas cookies, can't wait to dig in. How was your week/weekend?
Have a great week 49!
Yikes, sorry to hear about the bathroom! I love NYC during Christmas time. The city is at its best dressed and even the roasting nuts smell good :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Christmas time here is beautiful, love the smell of the roasted nuts too!
DeleteClub Monaco kills me. I love them so much, and I'm passing the one in town here tonight, so I'll see if we have similar window displays! It's never too late to ask for that mobile for Christmas, you know ;) Sorry about your leaky toilet, but the good news is it's going to be fixed and done properly this time. Always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteAnd how did the windows look at your CM? Glad about our properly fixed toilet too. Tomorrow is the day the wall tile goes up. Can't wait!
DeleteWell maybe it's good you get to remove the hardwood floor away, I put in something more suited to bathrooms.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing Christmas tree!
The tree is amazing! Now we have special bathroom subflooring in the bathroom and tile has been installed yesterday.
DeleteOh man, that's such a nasty surprise. BUT, good thing that it never went through the flooring. Enjoy those cookies- they look yummy :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was not a good surprise but at least now we know that everything will be installed properly! Btw the cookies are yummy ;)
DeleteUgh, sorry about the surprise water damage. Those are never fun to find when undergoing a renovation. Can't wait to follow along on the progress and, of course, see the final results.
ReplyDeleteI remember one year when we lived in New York, my husband and I tried to attend the lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas tree. It was so crowded, we ended up getting separated and watching the event on our own.
I've been a wee bit under the weather (and SO busy!), so I'm just now catching up. I love your week recaps. I'm glad the water damage wasn't too bad. I've told you I'm worried about our master bath. That's a project for the new year. I'd love to see the tree in person...some year. Some Christmas. We'll get there!
