I’ve been dragging my feet about getting our second-floor bathroom painted. I picked the colors awhile ago with an interior design consultant.

But all of the additional decisions seemed daunting:
* Strip the wallpaper
* Choose and get a ventilation fan installed
* Pick a new light fixture with one socket that doesn’t work–and, anyway, we can’t find the cover for the fixture
* Find an electrician, painter, etc.

When I met an architect, I asked her for the name of someone who could do the electrical work. She gave me the name. When she saw me a month later, she asked if I’d call. No. It’s way too daunting.

But, lo and behold, the contractor called me today. Turns out he paints, in addition to doing electrical work. Also, he will make recommendations about the fan. We talked and he’s going to send me a rough estimate as prelude to deciding whether we’ll meet.

Something may happen to our bathroom. But don’t hold your breath.
