Rainy Super Bowl Sunday

It's 9:30 Sunday morning and I'm convinced it's been raining all night. When we went to sleep last night it was raining, V was planning on doing yard work this morning, but when we woke up...it's still raining! So I got up and I'm sitting on the couch with the dogs watching Because of Winn Dixie, and baking a biscuit to eat for breakfast and V is still sleeping! He never sleeps past like 8, but when we got up at like 8:45 and he saw it was raining so he wouldn't be able to work on the yard, he went back to bed...saying he wasn't going to go back to sleep that he just wanted to lay down, but that was almost an hour ago and he still isn't out here so I'm assuming he's sleeping! I'm glad because he never gets enough rest.

I found a really pretty mirror at Wal Mart when I was grocery shopping yesterday afternoon that was like the perfect size for the bathroom...and only $35! So I bought it, and it's got a wooden frame around it but the color is almost exactly the same as the vanity. YAY! So V's going to put it up sometime today and I bought a towel ring at Lowe's yesterday so our towel will have a fancy place to hang. I'm really glad I found that mirror yesterday because I don't like the one that's in there now, it doesn't match with all the new stuff.

Everyone's coming over this evening to watch the super bowl...I'm excited to see some new commercials! Budweiser usually has pretty funny ones.

Bathroom is Finished!

I'm going to look somewhat like a lioness when I take these curlers out. It should be funny. I'm doing it to see what my hair looks like at 7 o'clock this evening, after my curls have loosened up.

We got the vanity, a new light fixture, and a new faucet yesterday. Oh and some new blinds! Originally we were going to get this vanity:

Awesome, right?! I love the giant bottom drawer, I've never seen anything like that on a vanity! So we bought it and got it home, thinking we would just be able to use the sink from our other vanity because they were the same sizes. WRONG. It ended up being about 4 inches too deep for the space [neither of us thought to measure for depth!], and we had to take it back :[ I was so bummed. So we brought it back and we looked....and looked. V found this smaller, dainty looking one that he really liked, but I was against it because it measured almost 24 inches wide, and the mirror we have to go over the huge hole above where the vanity is, is 36 inches wide and I thought it was going to look too small and disproportionate so we went back and forth on that one and this other one that came with a super nice looking granite sink, but the base of the vanity looked really cheap. Eventually V convinced me that this one was going to look really good in the bathroom and we left with it. IT.LOOKS.AWESOME. I reallllllly like it. We just have to find a new mirror now because the one we have is too big, but it definitely doesn't look as bad as I was picturing in my head while we were at the store. The light fixture we bought it really nice looking, but it looks too gold in our bathroom. It didn't look like that at all at the store so V said he's going to put a quick coat of spray paint on it to make it a little darker to match the faucet.

Today my mission is to get the bathroom nice and clean, go back to Lowe's because my blinds didn't come with turny-stick that you use to crank them open, and one of the light fixtures that we bought to put in the dining room came with a broken light bulb! I wouldn't be complaining, and I would have just stuck another one in, but they're these fancy light bulbs that we don't have, lol. After I do that, I want to maybe go to this custom mirror place over by V's work and see how much it would cost to have a custom mirror made for the bathroom because I can't find any that will work in the space! If we didn't have that huge hole in the wall it wouldn't be a problem at all, and we probably would have bought the mirror that matched with the vanity. But the hole on the wall is 26 inches wide, and the mirror was only 24. Bummer! I'd also like to find a new rug to put in there, and a new shower curtain..but we'll see!  Anyways...here are some pictures!

Drum roll pleeeeeease!

Amazing, right?! It looks SOOOOO MUCH BETTER! I'm super happy with it!

It's super gloomy outside. V went to yoga this morning, I decided not to go. I went last night and felt pretty good, which surprised me! After he gets home...which should be soon, we'll be on our way to find a vanity! Yay! I can't wait to have a sink in the bathroom once again!

Happy Friday, all!

Video Blog #1! [A Month Late...]

Okay, so remember how I said I was going to do a video blog once a month? Yeah...well January came and went, but now that February is here, I remembered to do one! Here it is, super cheesy but whatevs.

The Bathroom is Complete!

For the most part. We just have to get all the goods to put in. We'll be shopping for those on Friday, but I'm not sure where. Nothing at Home Depot was too appealing  to either of us so I'm going to check out Lowes. I don't know where else to look for stuff like that!

It's all painted! I sprayed the texture on, which was super easy. Let it dry for like 2 hours, and then painted! I'm pleased with the end result and I can't wait to put the vanity, cabinet, mirror and light fixture in!

No Glasses

I've Got a Cold...

I slept til almost 11 o'clock this morning. I feel pretty crappy, and I'm not happy about it! My nose is stuffy, my throat hurts, and my body is kind of achy. 

The plaster stuff still isn't completely dry in the bathroom today, so I can't do anything until it is. I'm hoping it will be dry in the next few hours, because I want to put on the texture! I don't think I'm going to put on another coat of Kilz before I put the texture on. I figure if the texture doesn't cover the paint color thats on right now, then I'll just put another coat of the Kilz on after I texturize. If it does cover well though, I'll be putting on my paint sooner than I though, which is a good thing! V has Friday off instead of Saturday now, so I'd like to be done by Thursday, so while he's off we can go vanity shopping. Yay! Hopefully I'll be feeling better by then too.

I don't think I'll be going to yoga tonight, which blows. I just don't think it's going to help me feel any better.
