Bathroom......still in progress

My husband has been working on our bathroom for awhile now, but I can say that we have almost completed it. He still likes touch-up work and our open shelves over the toliet which I found a great video to help us build them.  I'm so excited to show off my husband's hard work and time he has put in on this bathroom. So here we go........(sorry for the pics we have no window and it has limited lighting)

here he is changing out the hardware that came with the cabinet

from this......

to these..............

much better

here is a view looking in from the hallway, look I need to paint the wall in the hallway since our door is up now.

we got one of those toothpaste holders for the kids, so no more messing sinks

my husband found this one at bed bath and beyond for only 9.99 and it came with a spin brush, and cheaper than the ones you see on tv.

my light I found brand new in the box at the goodwill for only 10.00, I was so excited when I brought it home to show my husband and he was excited about it too

here sits our lonely toliet waiting for some beautiful shelves above it to keep it company! Ha!

the towel bar just waiting to be used and to keep our little babies warm when they get out of the shower\bath

the color on the wall is rainwashed from behr and

I ended up going with the rainwashed instead of the blue opal which I purchased and paint one coat and it ended up being to light for the room and took it back and got the rainwashed and it was much better.

 

and last but not least our shower caddy is ready to be put up in the corner, but that's where to touch up comes in before this baby can go up.

this is our awesome shower head it has 5 settings on this baby, can't wait to try it out

Well there you have our bathroom still in progress but alot from the last post on did on it.

Our kids saw their new bathroom and they were so excited, they actually told me that daddy and I were not allowed in their new bathroom! Ha, I thought that was so cute I wanted to share!

This weekend since it was such nice weather I painted my girls bunkbed and can't wait to show it off on monday!

Long needed Date and Update

My husband and I were so needing a break and sometime just for us.  My mom bought us a gift card to Olive Garden, and we couldn't pass it up. She was a blessing to us because she gave us the gift card and watched our 3 kids all night. WOOHOO! We had a wonderful night out. Thanks MOM! We love you!

My newphew took this picture so my husband head got cut off. LOL!

The first place we went to was Olive Garden of course and ate the never ending pasta bowl.  Oh it was good too.

I had this:

and my husband had this with sausage and he also had another bowl with the four cheese.

and breadsticks and salad.

Our next stop going to Hobby Lobby our favorite store plus my husband works at the disturbution so we get a discount! WOOHOO!

I found these items:

Spiced Candle: $6.00 they were 1/2 off

Finale for my lamp 66% off: .68 cents I'm going to spray it black to match my lamp.

This cute hook 66% off as well and got it for $1.17

I hung it by my kitchen sink

Cute Pumpkin candle 50% off and got it for 5.00

I got this one on my bathroom toliet.



We lefted there and went to Mardels right next to Hobby Lobby

We found alot of things in there we wanted but I only came out with this fun CD from Zoegirl:

Then we lefted there and wanted some ice cream so we headed to Classic 50's kinda like a Sonic, but I think better.

Our last stop was at walmart we never can stay away from this store even if we try! LOL!

I picked up a couple of small pumpkins to go outside with my mums I got a week ago.

I spray painted one white.

Okay Finally the Bathroom Update we had to stop for issues going on around our home, master bathroom had fauet issues, and my husband car breaks down and has to convert to driving his old 71 nova til we can get him another car, when it rains it pours around here.  Anyways, things are trying to get better but I wanted to some pics that I took of what my husband has been doing in the bathroom.  We got most of the paneling on the wall and going to finish that hopefully night.

Once its all up we are going to paint it a semi-gloss white and texture the walls and get them painted, then we can bring in our toliet and vanity cabinet we've had in the garage while doing the remodel.  My husband is taking a week off from work to get somethings done around our home. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband that does everything he can to help us out. Thank you Honey! Love you!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Open Shelving

This Bathroom is not mine but similar (don't remember where I found this picture but had it saved in my pictures).  See the shelf above the toliet?  Instead of putting a cabinet back up there I'm wanting some open shelves for my towels, pretty things, etc. 

Here are some pics of open shelves that I found for a bathroom:

I can't remember where I found these pictures, I have saved them for some ideas for my bathroom so if you know where the pictures are from just let me know so I can give them credit. Thanks

Yeah its finally the weekend now its time to stop dreaming and get busy on our bathroom. We are going to be putting up the paneling this weekend and can't wait.

Happy Friday!

Vanity Cabinet

Sink Vanity and Fauet we got at The BIG Orange (Home depot). Satin Nickel fauet and white sink/vanity combo.  The front doors on the vanity are just plain white and since we are putting up beaded board paneling, I'm going to get some of the beaded board wallpaper and put on the front of the doors.  It will dress it up for one and also match with the paneling on the wall.

The weekend is almost here, I had some issues going on this week and had to stop and take care of them.  God is GREAT and never lets us down! Have an awesome day!



Texture and Paint

Homax Spray Texture is what we will be using to texture our sheetrock. Here are some tips on how to spray and texture a wall or sheetrock:

I found this on SW site and was playing around with some of the colors to see what colors I would like for the kids bathroom.  I found two colors that I liked but I think I like the grayish blue color better, cause I'm afraid to go darker and close the room up. With the lighter color it will open it up. What do you think?

Sherwin Williams- Umber- #6146

UPDATED:

Thank you Beth for advising on this color, I like it much better.

Behr Blue Opal

Have a great day!



Paneling

Our next step is to install paneling on the wall before we bring everything back in the bathroom. Here is a lowes how to video of what we are going to install:

Also the shower fauets we are going to need to install as well and here are some that I found in satin nickel with the shower head and fauet to turn on the water. We already have the spout where to water comes out. This is a two package deal for only $46.xx. Can't beat that for satin nickel. Its nothing fancy but it works for what we need it for.

Have a great day!
Will be showing some more ideas tommorrow.
