Bathroom Renovation Update

We are approaching the finish line on the bathroom renovation! After Jimmy and I picked out towel racks, a toilet paper holder, and towel hooks together at Lowe’s on Saturday, he installed them along with a vent cover. I also bought a rug a few weeks ago. It’s nubby and gray and I love it 🙂

We only have a few more finishing touches to do, which include a possible second coat of paint, purchasing a toothbrush holder, and installing a new fan. It’s really starting to come together! I’m glad we went with the green/purple/gray color theme. It feels like a mix of calm and energizing and nature all in one. That totally made sense, right?

I have to say, every time Jimmy and I work on house projects together he continually amazes me. I am incredibly blessed to have such an intelligent, handy husband who works hard.

We are already plotting out more renovations as money allows. Next on the list? Finishing the closet room, refurbishing a bookshelf, painting the office (I’m still trying to convince Jimmy that at least one wall should be coral, ha), and refinishing our kitchen cabinets.

Well, I’m off to get ready for the day! I have work, two dogs to pet sit, and my sister-in-law and I are hanging out tonight. Can’t wait!

How was your weekend?

Ours was a mix of relaxing and productivity. We had grand plans to go to a car show and see Storks at the movie theater, but worked on the bathroom, watched the season premier of Gold Rush (well, Jimmy watched it and I fell asleep before it even started… eek!), and cleaned the house.

Nearing the end

I’m nearing the end of the spring semester! I love looking back through my old posts and seeing the random pictures and things I had to say around the end of each semester. This post is no different. Humor me, my brain is tired.

I’ve been giving Lola fruits and vegetables as snacks lately and she loves them. Like mother, like daughter.

So, Felix has this habit of climbing on everything. Which reminds me of when Lily (my family’s other cat) was a kitten. I looked through some of my old posts and found these gems…

Oh Lily!

Also, when I typed in “cat climbing” into my blog’s search box, it came up with this post, which included a picture of Jimmy climbing a tree. Haha. I had to share.

Because I haven’t shared enough pictures of my pets, here’s another.

Well, this post hasn’t included food yet. It’s time.

wrap

My mom took me out to lunch on Friday (thanks mom!), and I ordered a delicious veggie wrap, along with an iced latte.

Then I drank my mom’s coffee. Then I bought a coffee. Then I had too much energy and cleaned the whole house. I think it was my mom’s master plan. She got me caffeinated because she knew I would clean.

This post is random enough, so I’m going to stop now. I have two recipes to share soon! One is for sweet cornbread (aka my favorite food, next to peanut butter) and the other is for a slow cooker chicken soup. Yum.

What are you up to this weekend?
