Bedroom and Bathroom Update

With 14 of our closest friends coming over for the Super Bowl, we had a great excuse to kick some home projects into high gear.

First, remember that sad... pathetic, really... bedroom? 

No?  Oh, here, let me remind you...

                

Yep. Pretty bad.

Well, we ordered new wood blinds, new duvet cover, hung some curtains and honeymoon art work, and now, we have this...







It's not great but it's an improvement! 

The collection of photographs are all from our honeymoon in Cape Cod.  I had a HUGE obsession with the dunes...
From Hyannis

I'm not exactly Ansel Adams, but I was proud of my point-and-shoot camera prints!

We still need to get a headboard and spruce up the end tables and fan but it's progress!

And the now the bathroom! 

We painted and added some decor but it was in desperate need of a new floor.  The original floor was a large piece of marbled, cream laminate. 

So I picked up some concrete grey peel-and-stick laminate tiles and we (when I say we, I mostly mean George) spent 8 hours peeling, laying, cutting and shaving to get the perfect fit.  So worth it!

Here is the before...
Our tile samples...
the original floor is under the small brown square




Final product!



It's a bit different but we really like it!  It makes the room more polished.  We have to touch up the trim here and there.  And we plan on installing a new double sink and vanity and a new shower surround this summer.

These two projects were done within a week of the party!  Maybe we should plan another gathering to get us going on the next project???  :)

Happy Monday All!
