Rick and Allie

Oye! We've been busy and hot and quite the entertainers!

Here's a sneak peek at what's been filling up our days lately!

Remember the worlds tiniest bathroom? Not so tiny anymore! Well, sort of! If you look to the left you can see the wood two by four sticking out that is where the old bathroom wall stopped. So, everything past that beam is added on to the bathroom. We're finishing up the dry wall, finding some creative way to hide the two by four and shopping around for a tiny toilet.

Today my mom and their best friends/ my neighbors came to KC and we spent the whole day shopping. I tell you, that was one hell of a vacation from working on the house. I still found myself sanding plaster walls after they left. But Deb, Hi Deb! Helped get the ball rolling for me on decorating the tiny bathroom! OH I AM SO EXCITED to finally be making process and have things getting finished.

Rick and I also went tile shopping. We're going to stick with the vintage tiny hexagon tile floor for the tiny bathroom. So sometime this week I will be taking on the adventure of learning how to tile a floor. I'll be pulling out specific white tiles to replace with black tiles so it will look like there are little flowers all over the floor. Wish me luck.

The guest bathroom got a little bit of a make over! We kept the sink, tub, and half way up the wall tiles. Got some new lights, outlets, mirror shower curtain rugs and rods. We'll be replacing the toilet and the floor in due time. Since it seems like all the other bathroom floors and toilets in the house are leaky and yucky and time to be replaced. But, this bathroom is actually usable so a new floor and such will have to wait until we finish the master bathroom. Big huge Oye! again for the master bath. I don't even want to think about what we have to do with that yet.

OH! And did I mention... we got new blinds! YAY! No more towel paper clipped to block out the neighbors! I LOVE BLINDS. I love nice blinds. I hate cheap-o Walmart blinds. It is so worth the extra money to buy thick nice blinds! We also got blinds for our master bedroom. They match our wood work sooo good! Some time I'll manage to snap a decent picture of them. Some things are really hard to take pictures of with just an iPhone. I  need a decent camera.

oh! Here's a little nudge to where I get these wonderful blinds! www.blinds.com  I've been  nothing but happy with them. They are super, super easy to install and fast to install. The prices are reasonable. They can make blinds for any size window you want. They give you nice samples of different colors and woods you might need to try and match what you need. And for being custom made they arrive quite quickly!



We've been working on the dining room too. We installed lights in the china cabinets and painted the insides of them. We also have been experimenting with different colors to paint the ceiling. It's an on and off again tie between a copper red sort of color and a deep gold. We're also looking into the possibility of getting metal tiles up there instead too. Who knows!  Pictures someday soon too!


One more thing...
