The Unsettled Home

I’ve been super-frazzled lately because we’re going through a remodel. It’s a remodel that we don’t welcome, but mandated by the apartment complex. All of the bathrooms and kitchens for every unit are being remodeled. Bathtub is being replaced by a standing shower. All the tile will be caca brown. All the sinks and cabinets will be replaced and will look consistent throughout the building. In my opinion, the remodeled units look worse than before. I like the dilapidated, but unique antiquated character that we had.

So our bathroom is now being remodeled. We’ve been using the bathroom in a unit down the hall. I feel like I’m back in the dorms. You have to wear your robe, lock your apartment door, unlock the door of the other unit. In the middle of the night when you have to tinkle, same process. It’s maddening.

I give the bathroom model 2 weeks, then the kitchen remodel another 2 weeks. So unsettling.
