history: A friend of mine had their bathroom remodeled, and it looked so good that I felt quite envious. A friend of mine recently had their bathroom remodeled_comma_ and it made me feel like mine looks terrible by comparison. That's reasonable considering how new stuff always looks great and how more fancy stuff may be available and cheap compared to when you made yours.
current: Yeah, I just moved into my place last year, and the bathroom is quite outdated. After seeing his though, remodeling it has moved way up my list of things to get done.
next: That's good, it sounds like his bathroom motivated you to take yours to the next level. That's probably good for society.
