One Thing Always Leads to Another

It all started with a new shower curtain. That lead to new paint, new pictures, and new towel racks. That was all well and good, but then the faucets just didn't look right, so that actually became a significant expense. The installation of the faucets was going well until James needed a specific tool to remove the old tub drain. He claims he put it in one of the junk drawers in the kitchen. So, that's where he is now. In the middle of the kitchen floor cleaning out drawers while the bathroom sits about 1/3 complete with stuff all over the floor. Still no sign of the much needed wrench, but we definitely don't need to buy pencils for school this year. And we are set for staple removers, curly ribbon, and index cards of various colors. Oh yeah, we also have plenty of paper clips, tacks, nails, and markers. That's good to know. I'm sure this will all be worth it in the end... whenever that may be.

Paint and Paisleys

I finally did it! I have been putting off painting my bathroom and finishing Hailey's room for months. I hate when I do that because I always feel so good when I'm done. I worked on my bathroom for hours Friday night. I made it much harder than it needed to be. Thankfully, my husband helped put up all the new towel bars and hooks today. Now all I need is some new towels and a blind. Yay! I was dreading putting up the decals in Hailey's room because some of the outlines are very skinny and I didn't think they would go on very easily. I was pleasantly surprised. My sister in law, Julie, came down and helped us and we had it done in no time. I think it looks pretty cute with the quilt Hailey made and her other accesories.
Now I can enjoy my week of vacation with some sense of accomplishment!

Hailey actually helped. Wow!
