Making progress..

Hi all!
Having a very productive week over here..
Filling orders and now working on a custom order of Caramel Apple beadies.

Annnnd I am making lots of progress in the bathroom.
Got the cabinets, counter, and walls finished..

I am so excited about how well the counter turned out.. It was a little fussy at times (or maybe that was me that was a fussy.. haha) but for the most part it was pretty easy.

Photobucket

Wanna know how I did it?

With this little box of goodies. :)

Box of tiles - $11.00
Can of ORB - $2.97
Caulk - $2.97
$16.94 for a brand new bathroom vanity
And the best part.. I did it all on my own!
Yay Me!

Remember where I started..

Now I have to do the floors and replace the baseboards, doors & casings.
Maybe I will get started on that this weekend.

What to do when you are sick of being sick...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Mine was great! I got to see all the people I love on Saturday.
Hubby came home for the day and both of my girls and my sis were here. Yay!

I also started on the bathroom re-do.

Here is what I started with..

Photobucket

Awful 3-tone blue/green walls; red carpet; powder blue & white swirly laminate counters; yucky reddish/orangish/brownish cabinets; and on and on…

And here is my progress so far..

Photobucket

Painted the cabinets ORB (oil rubbed bronze), and the walls received 3 coats of Vanilla Brandy.

In the next progress report I will show you my Thrifty Gal trick for ugly counters... and have better pics to share. :)
