Oh The bathroom...

So we have started the bathroom. It is gutted and we found our first problem. As problems go it really isn't that bad. The people who built the house didn't care that the floor could fall in around the toilet. No floor support, and the last time the toilet was replaced the toilet wasn't bolted down so it leaked... MMM delicious. Here are a couple of before and during shots. hoping buy Monday to show you a more or less finished bathroom.

What I am envisioning...We will see how close we get.

Decideing on paint is not that easy

We are getting closer. I think this is the final choices for all rooms but our bedroom. We are trying to bring color into the home but have a nice flow to everything. I think the goal is to keep permanent things neutral and change the art and accessories. The kitchen will have stainless appliances and butcher block counters with slate back splash.

Time to Start on the Garden

So now that the house is basically done. I am not sure if a home is ever really complete but for now no major projects inside. I decided to start on the front yard. It is lacking in curb appeal... So I used the broken pieces of concrete chimney/vent to create a tiered flower bed. I guess I am going for an English garden feel. Sticking to purples, whites, reds, and some pinks, for color. I did get a couple of ferns. I also planted Shane's silly fern he rescued from the gutter from our last rental. Pretty...
