I thought I would show you all my newest update to our house.  Many of you know that we moved a few months ago to an older home built in the 70′s.  It needs lots of updates, we are doing them one at a time….I never knew I would be so excited about a new white toilet….but it was a rather happy day!

Ahhh! That’s a great 2-tone (or is that 3 different colors?!!) toilet! We just bought a house from the 70′s too and are remodeling it all at once after finding mold in multiple places (we originally thought we’d slowly update things over the years, but the whole mold thing spurred a change of plans) but we’re saving thousands of $$$ by doing the work ourselves! We’re attempting a green remodel – here is a link to my post about that if you want to see some of the materials we’re using! http://bringingbasicsback.blogspot.com/2009/11/saving-thousands-on-our-green-remodel.html

our city did a “rebate” kind of thing for the newer toilets where the water company did when you swithced over to the new water saving toilets, we didn’t know about it so when we replaced ours we didn’t get on the deal and found out later. Make sure you check to see if your water company has a deal like that (I think it was $75 per toilet rebate)

I felt the same way about painting my teeny tiny guest bathroom from a dark beige (which made it look smaller than it is) to a nice, light parchment color. It’s the small victories that light up our days.

Call me crazy but I like the old one better. Not because it’s nicer looking, which it’s not, but because it most likely flushes better and holds more water. I HATE new toilets simply because the bowl practically holds no water. Yuk.

Yasmin…. we tried to fix it a few times but it leaked….and it was so old they do not make parts for it anymore. It was filling our septic tank up with water so we had to replace the whole thing….my mom said the same thing as you!
