Master Bathroom–finally finished!!

The Master Bathroom is finally finished!! 

I have to say, it is SO NICE to wake up and not have to walk down the hall to get into the shower.  It’s the little things that make me happy!

Welcome to the new and improved master bathroom …

I’m so happy with the floors!  Take a look at the before and after here. 

The tub looks great with the new color on the walls. 

We had the shower painted, which makes it look 1,000 times better.  But, I am not 100% satisfied with it – we’ll see how it holds up with time and use! 

New shower doors which were a pain in the rear to install BTW.  New faucet and control knob. 

LOVE this towel bar!!  It is so nice to hang up our towels when we get out of the shower to dry instead of having to put them over a door knob or over the shower door.  Best $20 spent!!

The only problem with this grey color (called Driftwood Grey by Martha Stewart) is that it makes the bathroom much darker than the white that was here before.  I still love the color, but now I want to add more lights.  Want to but not going to.

The white molding looks great against the grey walls and the tan tile!

Michael’s vanity – didn’t do much here but paint the toilet paper holder and the vanity lights. 

My vanity – again, not much done here but the flooring and paint make such a huge difference!!  We also changed out the ugly old yellow outlets and switches to new white ones – small change but big impact! 

Michael was very surprised when I brought these jars home – they are not my style at all.  Very fancy and I am … let’s go with … plain – not fancy at all.

I do think they look great in the bathroom!  They are perfect for storing cotton balls, q-tips, and cotton pads (or whatever those are called) within easy reach.   

I am also a huge fan of baskets – all of my daily used face items are in this basket put some extra.  Maybe I should just find a smaller basket?  Hmmm…

Since I love Before and After pictures so much – here is the before of our bathroom (we painted it white when we moved in – it was yellow) and the after. 

Like I said above, the grey makes the room a little dark but it still looks SO MUCH BETTER!!

In the Middle of a Project

We are in the middle of a bathroom remodel … I am excited to get it finished, but I forgot how hot it gets in a room when you are painting!  Why is that?  Painting a small room with tall ceilings in the summer = no fun!

Look at this mess!  Can you believe that?  I am not a messy person – I swear!  But, our bathroom (and my closet but let’s not go there) is a total mess!

Have you ever gotten in the middle of a project and thought … “Why did I start this?” I am there right now!  But, when it is finished I will be very happy!  At least I hope I will!

See that foot stool?  I fell off it yesterday which is why I stopped painting – ok, it was part of the reason I stopped it was also HOT in that room.  Pretty funny now that I think about it – one of the legs fell down the drain while I was painting.  I guess I moved the stool just a little and then I was on the ground.  I once said painting was fun … I take that back for the moment. 

I need to get my butt in gear and finish up this bathroom this week! 

I hope to show it to you next week … or maybe the week after! 

Maybe you could leave me some encouragement?  I would love that! :)

Master Bathroom Floors!

Before, we had some carpet and some blue stick on tile in the master bathroom.  Served the purpose, but lacked in aesthetic appeal big time. 

Our new floors!  They are the same as our entry way and we will be doing the other bathroom and the laundry room someday too, but for now I am super excited our master bathroom floor is complete! 

I was going to wait until our master bathroom is complete, but decided against that since who knows when that will be. 

What do you think? 

Do you like them?  Or do you LOVE them like I do?

It’s the Little Things …

It is always the little things that make me happy.  I am a simple girl to please!! 

Today I am extra happy!  1 – It is not over 105 degrees today!  After 7 days of that, I am ready for a cool summer day!  2 – I got out of the shower today and had a place to hang up my towels!!  Michael got this towel rack hung up yesterday – we have not had one in our house (either bathroom) since we moved in!  I am happy, happy, happy to have a place to hang my towels! 

I LOVE the hooks instead of the bar!  It was only $20 at Home Depot too! 

Did you notice the lack of baseboards?  We got the new tile in, grouted, and sealed! It looks great and I can’t wait to show you it!   Just a few more steps – paint, molding, and shower doors are a few things on the list.

What little thing makes you happy?
