DIY Bathroom Reveal

My #TBT did not happen yesterday, for some reason I thought I was wonder woman this week and could work, start a MBA program, help plan a baby shower, get moved back into our house and blog regularly.

I am not wonder woman :) I sacrificed blog time which is fine with me because everything else had to come first. I've had a very productive week and can't help to get excited about what could be on the horizon.

In other exciting news this beautiful bouquet was delivered to my office Wednesday from my Mom, Mamaw, Paige & Georgia Grace for National Dietitian Day! It was just the pick me up I needed. So so thoughtful!

Now on to the bathroom.

Our bathroom remodel is complete and I'm so happy to share the finished product. It is so bright and clean and sparkly, it has definitely jumped in ranking for my favorite room in the house. This was a DIY project that our friend Chris, Papaw, and Granddad helped us with. They led and we followed :) Actually I just picked out the flooring and shower curtain and cleaned up messes but someone had to do it.

We did a complete renovation with only the toilet and sink/vanity staying from the old bathroom. Go big or go home!

Since everyone loves a good before picture here was our bathroom when we first bought our house in 2009. I forgot to take a before picture prior to renovation but not much has changed except the shower curtain.

And here's the new bathroom!
We painted the walls white, replaced the shower and tub and replaced the floors. The tile work that was in our bathroom was not laid well and had to go. We settled for an insert this time and I'm completely happy with that decision. You'll also notice we covered the window that was once in the shower. Best decision ever.
I took these before we had really moved back in so none of our things (baskets, towel racks) are in place. It looks much more lived in now :) The pedestal sink is a great space saver for our bathroom while still providing under the sink storage. Our medicine cabinet also gives us an extra spot to store things without taking up valuable real estate.
The shower curtain is from good ol' Tar-jay. My sister received one as a wedding gift and I fell in love with it when I saw it in their bathroom. It's even more amazing in person. I love it! We put white wainscotting around the whole shower area. I love the added texture to the room.
And our new tub! As I mentioned our previous tub cracked a few months ago so you can imagine how fun that has been to deal with when you have an one year old. Chris couldn't say enough good things about how well built the new tub is. I also love the built-in shelves which are great for our bottled products.

There are a few more pictures I took that somehow didn't make it off my good camera, I'll try to upload those over the weekend (If I can get our wireless internet back, just found out last night the storm knocked it out too. Geez.)

This was a nice little treat to come home to and Georgia Grace has already taken several baths since that is her new favorite thing along with brushing her teeth. She has turned into little miss hygiene this week :)

Happy weekend!

Five On Friday


FRIDAY! It is so good to see you again, you're my favorite by the way! My Five On Friday is about our transition to the new season. We're welcoming football and the school year back, switching out seasonal clothes, gearing up for the big winter wedding, and enjoying our favorite summer fruit before they are gone until next year. Such a fun time for change and progress!
One
Football
Tonight we are taking Georgia Grace to her first football game! Our high school team opens up their season at home and it's a blackout to compliment their new black uniforms this year. We LOVE all things football-Friday Night Lights, SEC Saturday, and NFL Sundays. Tonight should be a lot of fun-Go Bears! 

Two
Back To School
Wednesday night our church had a Back to School Bash that we attended . It was geared more for school-age kids of course but we still had fun fellowshipping with everyone and enjoying some good food. And this is what happens when your dad watches your daughter for you-she sits in the middle of the table and eats homemade ice cream! You think she's just a little doted on? 

Three
Winter Wedding
I found Georgia Grace's shoes for Aunt Paige's wedding yesterday!!! Oh these tiny pieces of gold awesomeness make my heart so happy. No dress yet, but the shoes are a done deal. You know you are a girl mom when you buy the accessories before the outfit ha! I'm hoping this purchase is a sign that we can start making some decisions. My sister (and the rest of us) have been so indecisive. And we have less than four months...

Ruffle Pants & Cardigans
This week I set out to organize and sort through ALL of Georgia Grace's clothes. I had not developed an effective system for storing bigger clothes I have bought for Georgia Grace to grow into and clothes she has outgrown that I'm storing for baby #2. So I decided to start from scratch and develop a new system which meant hours of work and lots of piles. I had a wonderful little helper who quickly destroyed neat, labeled piles for me :) Really sped up the process.

But it was all worth it when I came across outfits like this that I've bought and forgot about! It's like buying them all over again. I'm going to have a hard time waiting until December to put this on her.

Five
Bye Bye Peaches
I live in a small town. A small town where a fruit/vegetable stand is sat up in the middle of town that is ran on the honor system. No one mans the booth, you just put your money in a slot and take your farm fresh goodies! I LOVE this. When people ask me why I want to live in a small town this is one of my reasons. I bought probably our last bushel of peaches for the year yesterday and they were oh so juicy and delicious. Our family will definitely miss having fresh peaches in the house.

Happy Friday, y'all!
