before & after pics & just before pics too

say it with me: "we LOVE fixer-uppers!!!" being home-owners is truly wonderful but wanting and needing to do project after project is . . . exhausting & exciting at the same time (confusing, i know). so the guest bath is now DONE! check it out, it was 100% creme and stark white, now look at what i did with my own 2 hands, restaining the cabinet and all. i spent 20 bucks on a gallon of paint--the color is a pewter-ish green you can't tell but i promise it's GORGEOUS, and a few new towels to match the chocolate brown, tan, taupe, and the pewter green colored shower curtain, and the accessories i relocated and switched up. so so fun. now these last 2 pics are of our GHETTO back yard; these are before pics yes, but at this point we had put in about 20 good hours of crazy hard labor and as you can see there's about a gazillion more that needs to go in. we contemplated hiring this out but i must say it's a great sense of pride knowing WE did it and watching it come along. stay tuned--but give us some time.

what a great feeling. just like president uchtdorf said, go out and create and look at you, that's exactly what you're doing. by the way, i love the painting in your bathroom.

I love the bathroom. Congrats on getting into your house and working so hard on it.

I love bathroom makeovers! Looks great. I have to laugh at your "ghetto" back yard - because it looks beautiful to me. You have green at least. You'd die if you saw ours...dirt, dead, Vegas brown through and through. Someday, someday...
