In case you were wondering . . .

Here is how our bathroom turned out:

Another One Bites the Dust

Well, we did it again. And yes, we are completely insane. This weekend we officially started Home Improvement Project part II: The Basement. I packed, Rod pounded, broke, pulled, and otherwise destroyed every piece of drywall or ugly panelboard, cabinet, and light fixture out of our guest bedroom, laundry room, bathroom, and storage rooms. Now they are just one big connected room. In six weeks (only two weeks before the wedding), they will be a bigger guest bedroom, finished laundry room, a bathroom we are not embarrassed to have our guests use, and finished, usable storage space. We are SO excited for it to be done, not so excited to have to move two weeks before the wedding.




After our our hard day, I made tacos and Rod and I ate out on our front porch to admire the great view of our giant dumpster.

Something Blue

I know what you're thinking, I've already read this one. Well . . . keep reading. This time I had to pick out another kind of blue. After several late-night rendezvous at Home Depot and Lowes and not finding anything we could agree on, Rod and I found the perfect tile at Tile for Less. It was another thing to add to list of things I never thought I'd do: get excited about tile. It was not quite like finding the perfect pair of shoes, but I knew it as soon as I saw it. It's called ocean blue, and it is perfect.

No going back now

I came home to find a big gaping hole in my bedroom wall.

Was this the work of some strange sheetrock hungry thief? No, my loving fiance Rod had spent the weekend demoing our bathroom so that the contractor can begin updating it (and fixing the troublesome leak into our garage). It is completely gutted right now, but I'm really excited to see how everything turns out. It will be so nice to have two fully functioning bathrooms upstairs. Now to start plans for the basement . . .
