Updating

I was scrolling through the blog, as I sometimes like to do, and realized that I haven't posted an update on the home improvements since September. I've been feeling like we haven't done much, but seeing what it looked like in the old posts, we've done A LOT. But we still have a long way to go!! With the start of the new year, we've been really good about getting projects done around the house on Saturdays. So it's a great time to start back up with the blog updates of the house updating :) I wanna start with one of my favorite transformations, the downstairs powder bath:BEFORE: It had an ugly, pink, floral wallpaper border (unfortunately I didn't get pictures of), very dirty ceiling and walls, the old baseboards, a cushioned toilet seat, basic, cheap fixtures and was just plain boring with no accents. SO...I took 3 whole days doing this:To get this:
I painted these stripes ALL by myself and painted the ceiling. Mark helped by installing the towel bar and new light fixture. My mother picked out the gorgeous statement mirror and it is by far my favorite part of the new room. I'm still looking for some art to hang above the towels but it is SO much better than it was nearly 9 months ago. So, if you come to my house and need to use the potty...your welcome, enjoy the view!!
