Retro Renovation TV is up and running, and here is my first video. Actually, it is the first in a three-part series, spotlighting my blue bathroom renovation. In this first video, I talk about basic design decisions that I made. In video #2 (tomorrow), I will talk about some features that turned out great and which I like a lot. And in video #3 (Friday), I will talk about things I’d change if I had it to do over again. Overall, though, I was very happy with the way this bathroom turned out. And the video, too. The video is not perfect – but it’s a start. And hey, my intern/director/editor John Gervasi and I did it all ourselves. The media empire grows. All that said, this is the first time we’ve tried this. So there’s some things to improve. Like, I gotta figure out how to add music… and there are a few mis-spokens. Like: that’s not a lav faucet, it’s an 8″ spread, etc. For example: Depending on your internet service, it might take some time to load the video. Let me know if there are any issues, and we’ll see what we need to do to make this all go smoothly … because I love doing videos, they are such a great tool to talk about design dilemmas and solutions. 🙂

Geranium! A flower and a palette of reds, pinks, and whites:
scarlet
vermillion
cardinal
neon
salmon
coral
azalea
melon
appleblossom
blush
cream
bisque
electric white
And, the heron-blue grey is the perfect foil, nearly a neutral but with more hue.

Pam, videos are a great addition to the blog. Thanks. Your bathroom is so airy and light. Wonderful job. As for things you would change, isn’t it funny how one issue, like how to put light switches, ends up being something you discover you’d like to do differently — even though you mulled it over forever. Then something else, like your handheld shower wand, didn’t take as much mulling, and turned out just right. Everybody has something like that in their home. But all in all, your bathroom looks great. I love the wallpaper — one thing that can be changed if you don’t like how it turned out the first time, and one thing that can totally alter the feel of the room.

This was so interesting, Pam! Looking forward to seeing the other rooms & hearing about your design dilemmas. As for the sidekick….where was Astro???

Great addition Pam, love seeing your site grow.This opens so many more avenues for teaching and sharing. You at the top of the shower reminds me the scene where Lucy and Viv are trapped in the shower filled with water. You need a sidekick now.
