The curse of the bathroom tile

It's truly the case of you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you wait to pick something out until close to when you need it, you'll find that it will cost more than you think or might have too long of a lead time. If you pick something out way in advance, you'll find that you're quite wedded to it, and when they can't get it when you're ready to use it, it's difficult to detach yourself from your earlier choice.

The glass tile that I had painstakingly picked out a year ago, only to find out two months ago that it was out of stock, finally arrived on Tuesday. Perfection! The floor tile, which I had also picked out a year ago, and matched to the glass tile, was also sitting downstairs, waiting for the install. The only problem was, it was the wrong color! Argggh! Fortunately, a couple of calls between our foreman and the tile guy set it right, and they're going to have the tile in the correct color on hand either tomorrow or Tuesday. Hopefully from here on in it will be smooth sailing.

They started installing the glass tile in the shower, and it looks mighty nice!
