Bathroom Makeover

We've been very busy this weekend with a bathroom project. Our master bath used to look like this:

 

(Clearly this photo was taken BEFORE we moved in. Nate wanted me to make sure you didn't assume WE had a shiny gold free standing toilet paper holder or a fluffy toilet seat cover.)

 

New hardware, paint, lights, mirrors, towel ring and toilet paper holder helped spiff up what used to be a stuck-in-the-ninety’s style bathroom and gave it a calm, modern feel. Eventually we’d like to lay tile- but not this weekend. :) Here are a few photos.

 

That is a new light fixture. I wish we had a photo of the old one. I’ll give you a description: shiny, gold, ruffled frosted glass.

  

NOW:

New robe hooks:

 

And the finished product:

And here’s what else we’ve been up to:

 

Saying farewell to some dear friends, Levi and Courtney, who now live in D.C.

Snuggling with Charlie.

LOTS of baking.

My class playing math BINGO with my para.

Birthday breakfast with a few great friends. Here’s a fun game: spot James in every picture.

A Lincoln STARS hockey game.

A theme party for the LOST season premier. Even Charlie sported some Dharma gear. He is, after all, named after Charles Widmore.

New fabric for my next craft project.

Pink pancakes for Valentine’s Day. They were from one of my first graders, the box said "just add water", and they were terrible.

Our only photo of the evening after the other 4 guests had already gone home- Valentine’s Day dinner with Jay & Liz.

And finally, one of my1st graders signing his book to “RuthE” the school service dog.

 

Have a great week, friends!!!
