Master Bathroom Re-do

My absolute favorite project thus far was the dramatic difference with how our master bathroom turned out. First off, we started with TWO different "fruit" wall paper patterns. That's not all though-- to top it off there was a pink heart border over the top of the wall paper. With a good soaking of water/white vinegar and a WHOLE LOT of scraping with our sore arms- that was  all removed in a flash. 
                                                            


             paper 1:     paper 2:

Following the paper removal we did a WHOLE LOT OF NASTY WALLPAPER GLUE REMOVAL!  ugh-- that's the worst part in my opinion. It seems like the more you wash the walls, the more it smears the glue around. 

A few days later it was time for the gold shower tear out! (BEST PART!) This was a project that the hubs and I attacked together. He did the tear out and removal of the shower frame and I was his handy helper "side-kick" that helped with tools and holding the shower doors when needed. 

Next, we added a curved shower rod to add a little more space to the shower. Then we hooked up the lovely shower head that will allow my 6ft tall husband to finally fit under the water (he was most excited for this part)!

TA-DA!  Welcome to our new master bathroom! Stop back by tomorrow for another re-do! 

home SWEET home

WE HAVE MOVED! The hubs and I OFFICIALLY own our FIRST HOME! :) 


The moving process was "quick and easy"...or at least it seemed like it. Moving from a two bedroom apartment to a large house seems so simple yet oh so hard to gather and pack everything up that we had stored in the extra closet spaces of our tiny place.  What made it easier is that we were only moving a mile from the apartment to the house. I seriously couldn't have done it without the help of my wonderful family members from both sides! Lots of moving boxes and hundreds of trips up three flights of stairs, the apartment was empty finally. Memorial day was officially the first time we spent overnight in the house. It felt peaceful to finally fall asleep in our very own home :)

Here is where the day began: boxes, boxes and more boxes.. 

And this is where it ended:

HOMEOWNERS! 

More to come...
