A vew from my desk today

We are getting ready to start some renovations to the store soon and I am excited to get to be a part of it! Ultamatly my opinions are only suggestions but I get to voice them and that's exciting. I am working on floorplans and I get to help pick out finishes. Fun things to come!

A place to start

So having two days a week to overhaul an entire house means progress is slow. That being said, any progress is always good. Derrick and I went to Lowes and now have supplies. We are working on our bathroom at the moment doing a small face lift. A complete makeover is out of reach at the moment with the rest of everything else we are trying to do, so its make it work time.  I want something bright and airy (we started with navy blue walls, not so bright).

This is what we have now:

A small step in the right direction. We painted the walls and changed out the light fixtures. Next we are making a towel ladder and shelf to add some storage and display. 

I love this one:

The vanity in this picture is nice too, but I think we are going to paint ours and change the counter top out for a marble or granite one. 

I love the look of this (although slightly less formal):

Fingers crossed for no more surprises!

We bought a house

Like the title states, we bought a house! My husband and I are first time home owners, DIY'ers, and one of us (me) happens to be a designer and merchandiser. This adventure will be one documenting our new role as homeowners. So far, we are at paint but with much planning will hopefully come results!
