9 Days!

Just 9 days until we close on our house. Can you tell I'm excited? My first project will be a bathroom facelift. My challenge will be space. Our bathroom is tiny and there's no linen closet so all bathroom related items will have to be stored in the bathroom. Novel idea, right? It will definitely cut back on buying any unnecessary (read: FUN) toiletries.

Bathroom To Do List:
1. CLEAN it!
2. Regrout the tile.
3. Refinish the tub if it doesn't get clean enough.

4. Find a blue to match the existing tile and paint away!



5. Install my two craigslist finds

Craigslist find #1 - Shelf with Towel Bar ($10)

Craigslist find #2 - Vanity Light Fixture ($50)

6. Have Andrew build storage unit for towels etc. Maybe something like this that we can mount on the wall to avoid taking up floor space?

Or we'll just buy one of these from IKEA.

7. Either buy a new curtain rod or spray paint the existing one white.
8. Buy a new shower curtain and liner. I like the look of a simple white waffle weave. Target?


And because we all know projects are never 100% done, here's a list of things to do somewhere down the road...
-Have "Andrew & handy friends" knock out the shower window and install glass blocks with a vent.
-Replace the rubber shower hose with a nice metal one.
-Install a medicine cabinet. I'm loving this one from IKEA.


-If I ever find vintage iron steps I will so paint them white and steal this cute idea.


Before and After Pics Coming Soon!
