As many may know my house recently flooded. Floors, cabinets, some drywall needed to be replaced. In the process my wife wanted to renovate my daughter's bathroom. I kind of did too so no big deal. We spent a week drywalling, texturing, and painting it and then my wife decides she doesn't like the color of the bathtub. I don't give a **** about the color of it but it is an old-ish tub and the cream-white that it is is somewhat outdated and we have found that it is impossible to closely match a new toilet and sink to it. (Our old toilet blew over and shattered while we were storing it on our back porch during the renovation and we don't have a sink for the new vanity yet because it hasn't arrived.) The tub is dry-walled in from wall to wall, floor to ceiling. To replace it would mean re-doing all the work we literally just finished doing. I told my wife that it isn't going to happen come hell or high water. Not only because I don't want to redo everything we just did but also because the flood repair, as minor repairs often do, has turned into a complete renovation of the house interior and we have spent way too much beyond what insurance is giving us. So now we are arguing about what color toilet to get.
I don't care if the only toilet available is neon-****ing-green. The tub isn't getting replaced.
We got a toilet that is SOMEWHAT close in color but not exact and, to me, it looks like we were obviously trying to match the tub and failed. I think that, since we know we aren't going to match the tub, we should just get a plain white toilet since it is kind of a "default" color. Light switches, base boards, closet doors, washer and dryer are all white because that is just what items like that default to if you know what I mean.
She wants to keep the somewhat-matching toilet.
What would you do? Like I said, at this point I don't care if the toilet clashes. But I think "default-white" would clash less than "we-suck-at-picking-colors-tan."
