Bathroom Project

What is it about your mother coming to visit that kicks you in the butt and  makes you finish projects that  you started (in your head) a long time ago?  Anyways, this is what my bathroom has looked like since we moved in...over a year ago.  Blah!



Got those lights, by the way, a while ago at Menards on super clearance.  Moving on.  I wanted a spa look.  White and maybe a light green or aqua.  My daughter protested and said we already have enough turquoise.  WHAT!  There is never enough turquoise.  That's why it's great to have two bathrooms.  I will do my bathroom upstairs that color next.  My daughter suggested yellow so I said ok.  I wanted a pale yellow.  She said that looks too much like the cream color we have in the living room.  So I taped a bunch of shades of yellow to the wall and everyone voted.  Surprisingly we all chose the same one!  (I wish supper was that easy).  I was worried that the yellow was too rich but with the black and gray touches, I'm digging it.  Here's the result...


This is a more accurate sample of the color.  The one below makes it look lighter.



Got these hooks on clearance at Target for $1.48.  Score!  I may buy some yellow fabric paint and paint some of the leaves with it.  I will also add a yellow rug and towels soon.

What Was I Thinking!

So I wanted to grill some tater tots.  We have never done it before.  I figured my little glass casserole dish would do the trick.  It goes into high heat in the oven, right?  Wrong!!!



The minute I brought it in and set it on the stove, the whole thing exploded.  Glass shot everywhere.  Thank God no one else was in the room at the time except me.  I felt glass hit my stomach but no injury.  Again, what was I thinking?!

First Day of School - 2011

My little Garret is still willing to get his picture taken on the first day of school...



My little Kalen....not so much!

That'll Teach Ya.


Yeah, I put this back in the freezer for her to find.  She ate most of it the night before when the rest of us were sleeping.  We only got a spoonful or two the next night after supper while she was at a friend's house.  Well, at least I got a good laugh out of it.
