When you walk into my parents house, it is like stepping through a window to the past.  They have that nice 80s wall paper, and the tacky flower print linoleum on the floors.  But what really gets me is walking into the bathroom.

You see, the bathroom suites in their home are the same as they were nearly 30 years ago.  I especially "love" the yellow tub - wait, I have always hated the thing.  Anyway, since my parents are coming up on their 30th anniversary, I thought that us kids could help them modernize their bathrooms.

Most of the decisions as to what to buy were made rather quickly.  But when it came to decide between whirlpool baths and shower baths, we were stuck.  My mother loved to take baths, but my father would never be caught dead in one.

In the end, we ended up getting one of each - one for each of their bathrooms.  This way they could each have what they wanted (bath or shower) and not have to fight about it.  It will be so nice to visit their home now and not have to look at the yellow tub ever again.
