What happens when two plumbers spend about 4 hours at your house? You end up with pots in your front yard.
The good news is that nobody can actually see this part of our yard from the road so it doesn’t look quite as hickish as it seems. Charlie will be breaking these up and putting them in the trash little by little.
We’ve lived in our house for over 24 years and when we moved in these colorful bathroom fixtures were in vogue. The problem is that over the years the seats have started to deteriorate and since they are old and such odd colors we can’t get replacements for them. The only solution was to replace them with new models.
New pedestal sink and toilet
In our powder room we also replaced the sink since the previous one matched the navy blue toilet. We figured it would look a little funny to have mismatched colors.
A plus about getting new toilets is that they use much less water than the old ones and that is good for the environment.
On another note I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m having a minor outpatient surgery today. The surgery is in the afternoon so I might not be around to read blogs all day. I’ve been having problems with peripheral neuropathy for many months and I will be having a biopsy done on my effected nerves. The hope is that the doctor will be able to prescribe new drugs that will get rid of or at least improve the neuropathy. I would appreciate all the POTP you can send my way to help calm my nerves over the procedure (and hopefully get some relief for my messed up nerves too).

You got it! POTP on the way…sure hope they can find something to help you. Believe me…I can relate. We had those same types of fixtures in our house…and also had to replace them. It’s not fun when you have to replace both the sink and the pots just because of the color…but it would look really weird to have one navy and one white! Hope all goes well Cindy! Look forward to hearing from you when you are able to return. We will all be thinking of you. xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
We know someone who uses those old pots….as planters!
In Oz the flush is either a full or half flush to save water.
Now we have plumbers here this week and we are dreading it. Good luck with the surgery. We so hope it goes well. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
We’re sending lots and lots of positive thoughts your way for your surgery.
Dad always says that it’s amazing how much more efficient the new toilets are. We like white fixtures best too.
Love ya lots♥

POTP coming your way from our hill.
OMD Pots in the Yard… You could have used them to plant Milkbone Bushes…
Sending you LOTS of good thoughts that your surgery goes well.
Too funny about the POTS in the yard, BOL
Praying that all goes well for you today, keeping you in my thoughts. Love the new bathroom fixtures!
I’ve always wanted a yard full of old toilets to plant trailing vines in… I think it would be so cute and such a giggle. I’ve also always wanted old metal bed frame for the garden… you know, a “flower bed?”
Good luck with the surgery!!!
New digs in the house, and hopefully some new relief for you – good luck!
Lots of prayers from Mama and POTP times 4 from us!!

HEY CINDY…OH MY WORD THE ‘POTS’ CRACKED ME UP AND REMINDED ME OF A FUNNY CHILDHOOD STORY. Once my parents and I went to visit a friend of my Dad’s who was a plumbing contractor. Needless to say he had lots of pretty bathrooms but the one I liked most was the black one. The black potty fascinated me. I love the pedestal sinks
Madi and I will be thinking of you today and purring it is a quick and painless surgery.
hugs madi and cecilia
Haha at least nobody could really see them! Really hoping the surgery goes well and we will be thinking of you. Good luck and a speedy recovery to you.
POTP! Hope it goes well. Love the coloured toilets- all good things must come to an end teehee!
Maybe you can teach Millie and Walter how to use those pots:)
All paws crossed for your surgery. Mom is very curious to see how it goes because our Dad has that same condition. Good luck.

POTP and healing purrs on the way. We hope the surgery goes well and a solution can be found.
The Mom actually likes the blue potty. She is weird like that. We had avocado green stuff when the people bought the house and they have remodeled over the years until it is all gone. BOL they found an extra large potty for eldest boys bathroom because he is so TALL. ~Tuiren & Family

We are sending lots of POTP and we’re keeping our paws crossed that all goes well today.

We’re sorry to hear about the surgery! Got our paws and hands crossed in prayer for you.
Love the new toilets! We have a beautiful mauve bathroom and a blue one too. Old school here, but at least we replaced the toilets 6+ years ago.

Just catching up. Your yard looks like that scene in “The Help!!” Sending good thoughts.
