Bathroom (FINALLY) and Toes

We FINALLY finished the half bath on the main level.  After two layers of wallpaper, replacing the drywall, and painting, it is finished.  The sink is still ugly, but it will do for now.

Here are some before and during photos:

And now the after:

Today I went to get my nails done, and I couldn't resist getting a design on my two big toes.  I have never gotten this before, so of course I had to take pictures because I LOVE them!!!

Last week we went to Hilton Head, it was so relaxing.  Even though the temperatures were actually hotter in Atlanta (100 - 102 degrees) than they were in South Carolina (95-99 degrees), it actually felt worse at the beach because of the humidity.  Before we left for the beach, Atlanta hit an all time high of 106 degrees, it was miserable, and still feels miserable.  It's so hot, there is no point in going outside to do anything.  When I get the pictures off David's phone, I will post about Hilton Head.  Tomorrow is our 3rd anniversary!!!

Family Time

Two weeks ago my dad, mom, and sister came to visit.  My parents came down first and then Jill flew down on Thursday.  We had a great time, but we were busy!  My dad helped me put up new drywall in the half bathroom, after ripping off two layers of wallpaper and painting the walls, it looked like crap.  The only option for making it look half decent was to put up new drywall, so that's what we did.  It was pretty easy (since my dad did most of it), and all I need to do now is sand it, primer and paint it! 

We have had beautiful weather here...until the weekend my family was here.  On Saturday it was FREEZING!!!!  The temperature was 30 degrees, and with the wind chill it felt like 20!  During their visit, we did the normal attractions of Atlanta: CNN, World of Coke, and shopping:)  It was great to have them come visit, and as always, it's hard to say goodbye to family. 

Step by Step

So the progress is...not much.  The good news is the bathroom is painted, oh and the mirror is painted, but the bathroom is not 100% complete just yet.  But let's revisit some old pictures..by old I mean pictures of the house when it was on the market, this was not our furniture.

The family room with the previous owner's things

Now onto our room:

The color change makes such a difference!  We still obviously need to get the wires from the TV taken care of and moved.  We also need to hang some stuff up on the walls. 

Here are some before and after pictures of the mirror in the bathroom.  Here is what I started with, a gold oval mirror.  The color did not match the fixtures, instead of buying a brand new mirror, I brought spray paint.  The longest part of the process was covering the mirror with newspaper.

Here is the final product, I realize it is hard to tell what it looks like with the paper on it, but it looks good.  AND, it was only a $5 makeover!  When I post pictures of the completely re-done bathroom, the changes with the mirror will be more obvious.

Fingers crossed that my next post will have my new bathroom reveal!
