Bathroom Makeover

Since we have the week off, Jon and I decided to tackle a little home project. Our half bath off the kitchen was in desperate need of a little help. Well....maybe not quite desperate, but it had been on my list for a long time!

A little paint makes such a huge difference. We went with a slightly green grey.  I have to say, I really like it.  I can't get over how much cleaner it looks/feels. 

Now I can't wait to paint the rest of the house! 


What's the last home project you did? 

Round 2...

Well, the blizzard is over here, but the snow days continue! My work announced last night that they won't open til 10:00 this morning, but there is no way I can even get out of the neighborhood, so I'm staying home again!

I spent a lot of time posting pics on here yesterday, so today, I'm going to take a little break from the computer, and relax with my husband. It looks like the whole neighborhood is doing the same. The drifts are amazing! I love snow.

I think I'll go make a cup of tea and read for a while. {I'd like to point out that I wrote my post and then went to find an image on Pinterest, only to come across the above quote.  Perfect!} Mmmm, sounds nice. And, I desperately need to work on my new office!  Wheeee!

What's your favorite thing to do on a day at home?

I completely missed posting yesterday.  You'll have to forgive me.  I'm living in a fantasy world right now.

I've been sleeping until 9:00, eating fudge for breakfast {well, not really, but sort of} watching at least one movie every day and a whole lot of the Office, staying in my pj's as long as I like, snuggling with my sweetie, and pretending that I get to do this forever.  Oh, how I could get used to not working.  Wouldn't it be marvelous to just get to spend time doing whatever you see fit?  I think so.

I haven't accomplished much of what I wanted to this week, but that's alright.  There's still time.  And besides, the only thing I really wanted to accomplish was getting a break!  It's been a long year!  You know, I was looking back over the year, and we took our vacation to Texas in April, and since then I took one day off, my birthday, to go to a funeral.  That's it.  I really needed some time off.  I'm going to be better about that in 2011.

Speaking of things to do differently in 2011, have you been thinking about your new years resolutions?  I have.  I'll share them with you soon.  {well, most of them.  ;)}  I still have a couple days to get that in order.

There also should be a little re-cap of 2010, like the 2009 one from last year, don't you think?

I hope you all are having a great week.  You've been really quiet lately.  I miss you.

Tell me something.  Anything!  What was your favorite gift on Christmas?  What's the weather like where you are?  Any vacations planned?  What are you resolving this year? 

In the Garden...

Saturday morning I spent some time with my flowers.  

This is the first time I've ever potted anything, and I have to say, I'm enjoying it tremendously!  It just adds such vibrancy to the yard.  Everytime I come and go, they make me happy.  

I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep them alive.  I didn't think I inherited my mom's green thumb, but so far, I think I'm doing well!

Love my flowers.  Pink, white and red geraniums.  Yellow and orange marigolds.  Herbs galore!

{oh, that one on the top right is a rose of sharon...I didn't plant that one, but it's aweful pretty!}

Do you have flowers on your porch/patio?  Which are your favorite?
