Bathroom Updates !!

Things are looking good after a few LONG weeks of rennovations - roadblocks naturally have slowed progress down, but they will get worked out !! The wall color is better in person than in these pics. I'm in LOVE with the countertop !!!! Can't wait for the faucet to go in - it'll look AWESOME with the granite !! Here's a few pics of the progress ... TFL !!!

      

Happy Father's Day !!!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there !! Have a fun day !!

Catching up ...

I'm anxiously awaiting my July kit of Goodies from Back Porch Memories so I can start creating my projects as their July Guest Designer - I'm still psyched to be chosen and I'm eager to dig in !! 

I have MORE exciting news that I can't wait to share ....  but .... after the break !! (sorry, an American Idol flashback - I really miss that show !!) I will be able to share at the end of this month .... 

More work continues on the bathroom - I hit a roadblock when the wall paint I initially chose didn't look like what I expected - so that was changed and it's better !! The new vanity and toilet have been installed and the floor looks AWESOME !! 

Just finished a quick LO for RAH - using some leftovers from my previous pages !! The American Crafts papers are so summery and fit well with my pics of Lilly in the garden. So that's my catch-up for now and TFL !!!

Simple for the Summer !!

Wanted to end the weekend with a quick post of another page I did for RAH using leftovers from American Crafts Backyard collection  ... trying to keep it simple for the summer. Hope you like it and TFL !!

Faucet, fixtures and toilet, oh my !!

So - the weekend has arrived !!! Will we see the sun ? Let's hope so !!

This week ended with my faucet and fixtures arriving, a new toilet purchased and the promise of the floor being done over the weekend !! 

The next big step is painting the walls - hoping that will happen next week !! One step at a time ... 

Have a great weekend and I'll keep up with the updates !! Stay tuned ... 

All in the name of PROGRESS !!

So, here's my new way of saving time in the morning ... Just KIDDING !!! It was a little challenging taking a shower this morning with this in the way though !! All in the name of PROGRESS !!

 The floor is coming along - I'm in LOVE with these tiles - it'll really makes the room POP !! Hopefully, grout tomorrow and maybe some electrical work and more painting over the weekend !! Decided to upgrade the toilet - might as well !! Was thinking about an elevated, elongated style - anyone have any thoughts ?? Still waiting for the faucet and accessories to arrive - they are GORGEOUS !! oil-rubbed bronze finish ... good thing I don't have a spa tub- I'd never leave !! I'll keep you posted as the updates continue !! Here's the tiles ... Picture a white vanity atop these gorgeous tiles - it'll be a great contrast !! Have a great rest of the week !!
