31 Days: The Toilet Paper Holder (Seriously)
The wall mounted toilet paper holder thing fell off the wall in our master bathroom right around Christmas. I purchased another one, opened it, and it has sat on the back of the toilet for ten months.
I’m not proud of the photo I am about to show you.
The bathroom is next on the list to be painted and for some dumb reason, I put off hanging the holder “until I got the room painted”. Since that is clearly not going to happen any time soon, Jeff took it upon himself this weekend to patch the holes and hang the new holder.
I think the patched, unpainted spots on the wall bother me more than unhung tp holder. And now I need to go paint the bathroom. That’s some effed up logic right there, my friends.
For 31 days, I’m tackling the Hot Mess. Read all about it here.

I’m having a welcome back kotter moment….
We just finished painting our house so we can sell it. Now that’s some effed up logic for you. Thanks to my husband that’s how we roll. lol
We’ve only been here a year but he got a promotion so now we are on it..all those projects that were on the to do list done.
Anyway, my tip is something seen on the interwebs at one of those diy blogs. You know the ones,”my house is so pretty, lookie what I did, I’m pure amazeballs”.
Here’s the tip:
Take a garbage bag and cover up your tank, tape it so it’s not flopping around. Then you are set to paint and will not get paint on the the tank, no matter how messy you are.
Easy peasy cleanup!

I procrastinated on this for months and months as well. There are more pleasant rooms to paint then the bathroom; I will say that.
Now that it’s said and done I am very happy. But painting behind a toilet? Gross.

This is not effed up logic, it is perfectly sound logic. Before, it was all unfinished. Now, it’s half finished, which just emphasizes the fact that it’s half finished. Which is much harder to be okay with than all unfinished.
It’s like vacuuming the house except for the rugs.
Please put up bathroom paint samples so we can all feel like we’re participating in your awesomeness.

Well done! (and your logic makes perfect sense to me. But of course my house is a mess, so maybe that’s not a good thing)

Not a thing to do with your post but I just saw this: http://www.jonathanadler.com/Brass-Squirrel-Letter-Opener/?gclid=CIHHv6vAkLMCFQ6CQgodeB8AQQ#googlebase and thought of you. Also, I was at the Gap Outlet in Castle Rock yesterday and saw squirrel boxer briefs.

I just want to say I am so impressed that it’s day 22 and you are still going strong! Way to motivate others into cleaning up!

Looks to me like you just created a nudge to paint the bathroom.
(Good job, by the way.)

It is so comforting to know that someone else lives my life too.

I do that, too. I have to be wary of doing a temporary job that looks decent enough, because then I’ll just leave it. Like the curtains in my boys’ room that are hung with binder clips! If they were not up at all I’d have taken care of it a long time ago.

I suppose now I have to admit that my toilet seat is cracked and has been for months. And that’s WAY EASIER than painting a bathroom? *sigh*
