almost home

This weekend is a busy one. I'm on call (it's Saturday morning and I've already delivered 3!) and Dominic is working today as well...I REALLY want to paint the hallway (come on hunny it's small) and get another coat on his vanity...but i hardly slept last night and I'm just not very motivated. All I can think about is getting on the plane tuesday night but so much has to happen before that flight...one moment at a time!

More bathroom remodel

We were VERY productive this weekend! As you can see from previous posts we're redoing both bathrooms in the house. Well this weekend we made MAJOR progress on Dominic's....

First is the demo, the old dressing table style light and full mirror are GONE

And we have a stunning replacement! new light and mirror, we rewired and hung everything ourselves

The we moved my shower curtin rod (which allows for a little more room when you're inside the shower, see how it bows out a bit) into dominic's...he needs the room more than me and it was impeding the door in mine

Here is an up close of the light cover dominic picked
Since we were on a roll with the electical we swapped out the beige fixtures for white like we did in the kitchen...and then moved into the bedroom and did those too!!!!!

and on to my bathroom....here's the same vanity light in minebut I chose a different cover

and because with our current set up we couldn't actually close the bedroom door we got new nightstands...target global bizaar (solid wood!)

Here's an upclose, they're quite tall but we liked that part...now I just need to find a basket for the bottom shelf

and we decided on tile for the fireplace...slate, thanks mom :) here's what it will look like on the hearth. We're going with a staggered look which makes install easier and adds some interest.

Then to top off the success my hubby made us a great shimp pesto...and I had a rootbeer float...spoiled!!!


We're going to be headed up to WA shortly and really can't wait!!! so for all of you reading this from up north...see you soon.

Valentines Decor

I have always said that if I were going to be a stay at home mother/wife I would need my hubby to make AT LEAST $500,000/year. Here is why....I get bored and shop all day. Case in point today I decided to decorate for valentines and went all out...check out our pad

the bookshelf

Cute kitchen towels and trivets

Mantel decor (yes we have friends, no I haven't gotten around to printing out their pictures)

Dining room table

And we finally got up the moss letters from the wedding. they're in the entry way with our card display that I think we're going to keep up year round and just add birthday cards, invites etc.
Hope you had a wonderful new years..and a great 2008!
