Easter in the Half Bath

I had to put a little Easter in the half bathroom!

 

I added a little statue holding a nest with some eggs.

Just a little Easter decorating.

 

New towels and eggs in a nest.  

The little face is so cute!

 

I also found a new place to stash the toilet paper.

 

I think one of the eggs is hatching!!!

I have been decorating other rooms, too.

More to come!!

The 1/2 Bath

The guest bathroom is done and decorated.

This is a picture of it from the hallway.

The little red step stool in the corner is just like the one my brother and I had when we were children.

It says,

 "This little stool is mine

To use it all the time

To reach the things I couldn't 

And lots of things I shouldn't " 

I am loving the black and white tile, it turned out great! 

I added some zebra and aqua hand towels on a glass and brass towel bar.

Then I hung a black and white farm print. 

This light was very, very dark and dreary, but Big Ran and I scrubbed on it, rewired it, and polished it up.

It adds a lot to this spot.

   

I had this mirror in my storage room at the old house.

It was painted a light yellow, so I grabbed the black spray paint and it turned out perfect for this room.

It was really hard to find a sink small enough to fit in here without the door hitting it when you opened the door.

We added an antique bronze faucet to the sink.

An old wooden step stool holds the extra toilet paper and another hand towel.

  

I just haven't been able to put any rugs in here, the floor is my favorite thing in the room!

What do you think?

The Exit Room

Here is the second post in a series of finished rooms.

In case you missed the first one it was on the dining room.

I'm going to start posting the rooms that we have finished as we finish them.

They are not cleaned or decorated, but they will all have flooring, lighting, and all of the construction done on them.

This is the "EXIT" room.

This room is to the left when you walk in the house from the garage.

This view is from the back porch looking in through the hallway and ending at the half bathroom door.

The walls are painted green.

The trim is all white.

The door to the right is oak, it leads to the attic above the garage. 

The picture below is from the hallway out to the back porch.

We are planning on adding a pool out there where all that nice dirt is as soon as we can.

So, when that is done, you will be able to get from the pool to the half bathroom easily. 

This porcelain tile is what we have in here, the hallway, and the entry way.

You can't tell by the pictures here, but this flooring has brown, tan, and grey in it. 

This is why I refer to this small hallway as "The Exit Room".

I found this light on Ebay and I couldn't resist!

Needless to say, it was the starting point for this room.

Next up in the series is the upstairs hallway.

Work On The House

Thought I would update you a little on the work that Large is doing on the new house.

This is a picture of the 1/2 bath.

Right now he is working on taking the door out and putting in one that swings the other direction.

Love, love, love the black and white tile.

The antique, restored light is hung, now I'm looking for a couple of shades for it.

Large has hung the grass cloth wallpaper in the hallway.

Now he is working on the board and batten. 

The Master Bedroom is finished!!!

The Family room has been painted in a dark teal and trimmed out in white.

The crown molding is all that is left to do in here.

The entryway is being painted white.

Large's office is coming along.  

Yes, that is a green and orange wall.

The dining room is ready for the grass cloth wallpaper to go up.

Slowly but surely it is all getting done.

Large has set a move in date of April 1st.

Yay!!!

What do you think so far????

I would love to hear your opinion.

1/2 Bathroom Floor Is Down

I realize it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything on the new house.

We are working on the 1/2 bath in the main part of the house right now.

Big Ran and I decided to go with black and white for the color scheme.

The floor is made up of 2 inch black hexagon tiles with white grout.

Since my breast cancer diagnosis, we have slowed down a lot on the house project, we have been spending many hours at doctors appointments.

I have also spent many hours recovering from the surgery and chemotherapy.

We are very determined people though!

What do you think about the tile?

I AM LOVING IT!!!!
