One more just for fun

I added curtains to our snob room.I think it tames down the yellow a little and adds a little more color. Next will be to make curtains for the front door. Since the curtains hanging have been there for a year and a half and were only supposed to be temporary. :)

 

It is time!

I am always so embarrassed when we have company and they need to use the bathroom. There are only two choices, use the one in our master room (which is literally in the master room, the sinks are not enclosed at all and there is a pocket door to separate the toilet and shower from the bedroom.) or use this small ugly bathroom. The toilet is almost 30 years old, tiny and stained. (My daughter loves it and always has to use the "little potty" when she has to use the bathroom). The sink was not installed correctly and is wobbly, there is no storage space and someone came up with the wrong idea to paint over the existing wall paper!!! The paint is peeling off and it looks horrible.

 

So we have started getting supplies to refinish the bathroom. We have a new vanity and a medicine cabinet and will buy a new toilet and re tile the shower. I have started to peel the paint off the walls but the drywall job just wasn't great so I may end up ripping everything out of the bathroom and starting from scratch. A new adventure!

 

It's hard to see in the picture but the wall paper is sticking out from being painted over.

The kitchen is coming along once again

After a long wait I finally got my countertops!! It is so nice to have something sturdy and pretty to work on. We chose silestone due to its durability and not having to be sealed. I love them.

 

 

We still need to add the beadboard and wainscoting to the island.

 It took me a couple of weeks to work on the backsplash and I don't have a finished picture yet. (It is done though)

Until we moved to this house, I under appreciated light switches. I went about 7 months without having a switch to my garbage disposal. I had to climg under the sink and squeeze the plug into a place where it would not fit between the outlet and the disposal. It was not fun. So I was so excited when my husband installed this. I still get giddy when I need to use it.

This is the idea for the back of th island with the wider beadboard and the wainscoting overtop. I am not sure what color we will do yet. I think we are leaning towards just white.
