Wow, thank you both! I tried searching for both your email addresses to thank you personally but couldn't find either. Sometimes, well most times, when looking on these boards with all the wonderful, spectacular bathrooms, it makes me feel a bit......... well, a LOT, out of my league. Then I read posts like the two above. I'll just say....I appreciate your posts more than you know. And Flyleft, I love that you made alternate suggestions! I fell short when it came to the Decorating DNA Gene--your suggestion for a Roman shade, I never would have thought of that, thank you! I went with the $11 blind for now because me and hubby are at a crossroads when it comes to fabric. He found the perfect (he thought) fabric for our bedroom window treatments and I've managed to finally *whew!* talk him out of it. But now we are left with not being able to come up with a compromise. Whatever I put in the bedroom, since bathroom and bedroom windows are both on same wall and visible from the entrance to the bedroom, I wanted the same fabric or at least coordinating fabrics for both windows. Until we can come to a compromise on the windows in the bedroom, the blinds were doing their job --- keeping the neighbors from seeing me brush my teefers in the morning. A Roman shade-- Perfect! Oh, and I'm NOT the one that picked out the wall paint color for the bathroom. Personally I'd like to tone it down with a very light wash or glazing of some Golden Brown color. The Medieval Gold works well on the walls in our bedroom because it's in a flat finish and the way the sun comes through the windows in the bedroom keeps the color toned a bit. In the bathroom with a semi-gloss finish and the larger window---Wow--talk about a wake-up jolt in the morning! LOL The can trim, light fixture over the sink, the ceiling fan in the bedroom and the long dowel/curtain rod over the new bedroom windows were done using the darkest brown interior paint I had. I added a blop of dark bronze metallic colorant and a drop of red acrylic craft paint. Mixed half satin and half Dead Flat sealer as a topcoat on all. Again, thank you both. Means a Lot!

I always check mine, online, before taking a winning ticket in. The only one I didn't check for some reason was a $743 winner. lol. We did have a woman working a local convenience store that got caught stealing scratch offs and if they were winners, she was taking them to another local store to redeem. The other store got suspicious about all the winning tickets she seemed to come up with and called the other store and an investigation revealed she had stolen a huge amount of them. Don't know if she ever cheated a customer or not. Besides checking them at home, they have a reader machine where you can check them at the place you bought them and I always check them again to make sure I didn't miss something before turning them in.

The glossy ceiling really does add something, doesn't it? This is the kind of remodel I really enjoy - small budget, big bang for the result! I also like how you managed to make white and gray not look so cold as so many - I think that greige color you chose is really working for the space. And, of course, I am an utter sucker for the tall thin cabinet squeezing out storage in a small kitchen. How is that working out for you?

A few thoughts - --I had to cancel an American flight last year, and I think the fee was $200 or $250. --Typically you have one year to use the credit from a cancellation, but it's one year from when you made the original reservation, NOT one year from when your original flight was. So pay close attention to the expiration date, since it's likely earlier than your original flight date. Also ask to make sure whether you have to fly by the expiration date, or just book by the expiration date. --I don't think I had to fly to the same destination as the original flight (even though I did), but I think it did have to be the same person taking the replacement flight. I'm not sure about that because I was planning to use my credit anyway, but I seem to recall the agent saying something about that. It's worth asking if you're considering trying to combine both your and your husband's flight credits for one flight for one of you or something like that - they may not let you do that. --Cancel before the day your first flight takes off. If you wait until after your first flight leaves, then you're considered a no-show and I think your options may not be as good? --When I cancelled my flight, I found the way they worded the credit confusing. If you pay $1,000 for a flight (just to keep the numbers round!) and the fee is $200, I expected to be told that I had an $800 credit. But they tell you that you have a $1,000 credit, and the fee will be deducted when you go to re-book the flight. So it amounts to the same thing - you still have $800 of usable credit, I just found the wording confusing. I think maybe they phrase it that way in case they decide to increase the fee before you use the credit, and then they'd be deducting the new higher fee from your credit instead.
