Almost there!

What my bath will look like.......

















These pictures are from servicemagic.com. In case anyone does not know you go there to find professionals for work on projects in your home. This was done by ABC Construction in a home in AK. I will have a mirror over my vanity also. The vanity is almost a match for mines. The mirror is a easy fix, Just buy some fancy crown molding stain to match the vainty, and BAM! Instant Mirror!
OK the tub, I am going to to tile my tub area myself, Just like you see in the picture. It is perfect The only difference with this pic and mines, I have a big window over my tub.
I LOVE this bath, I have one of the shower fitters now, I am going to get some use out of that before I tile it.

Kids bathroom, Pic's from walmart.com





















This is going in the kids bathroom, Walmart has the shower curtain with a whole bunch of matching stuff, I like all the colors, But I will not be a slave to total matching, So I will be buying stuff that go well with it. The Furniture piece goes over the toilet, and matches to vanity cabinets.
Since I have two sharing the bath, they will need the extra storage for personal stuff
Kids bath Done!

WE HAVE CARPET!

Went to the house carpet and vinyl are down. Now the baseboards look like CRAP, lots of touch up work will be needed. The shower door is in. The AC units are outside (But they have to be moved)

Today DH and I went to look at the Laminate floors we are going to put down in the kitchen, dining Rms. THANK GOD there was a guy in sam's club that convinced DH laminate was way better than tile in high traffic areas.
With the house close to be done Time to decorate! Here is what I got....
After some major soul searching I am putting white tile in the power room. I am going for a "Minimalist look" Black and white. I am going to find the "whitest paint" and put it on the walls. Black and white towels I do not have pictures, But I got it out of a book.

Thanks to walmart, I found what I am going to to with the kids bathroom, It will be in the next post.

Cabinets and house painted

Well DH went to the house today, It really looks great! There is a few things that need to touched up, but it still looks good. The city came out and put in the water meter, (I saw their flags) The baseboards are painted, I truly love the cabinets, nice and dark. DH measured the windows twice, So I can price the fau wood blinds. We also measured our room, Our bed fits perfectly! Well we will be moving soon!

Moving Along

So, I went to the house yesterday, The siding is pretty much done. Just the very top of the front is not. All the walls have primer on them. Thank goodness for k-mart, I am going to put towels on lay-a way (yes a ton) Go to target look for some stuff there.

I been thinking about paint, Well painting the powder room. It is small, (most of them are I know) Everyone does red, I do not want that. I was thinking navy blue w/ a chair rail. I read online to think of it like a jewelry box. I have a nice piece of art work, Might pull a color out of that.

Then I have the kitchen, Got a LOT of work to do there. Black Appliances, Dr cherry cabinets, Brushed nickle pulls/knobs. That is what i have to work from..... Anything I do has to flow in to the dining room and living room. I am clueless.

Pic's of Drywall
















































Starting from the top Left to right
Master Bedroom and Garden tub in master bath/w window
Kids Bathroom, and One of the kids rooms (size 11x11)
Entrance to dining area from living room Pass through from dining room to kitchen

I could not take a pic of the downstairs Power room, it was kinda dark, So I know I need to paint that room a bright color.

In other news my brother closed on his house yesterday. He will be living down the street from me. My mom (who will be staying with him) GAVE ME her front loader washer and dryer that is LESS THAN 1 YEAR old. It is red, (not my fav) but I will paint the Laundry room yellow to match.
Still on the fence about the fence, I do have some time to think about it.
