Welcome 2012...with a little bathroom project

Happy 2012, my friends!


I took a brief hiatus from blogging while we enjoyed Christmas and New Year's together as a family. Lots of game-playing, movie-watching, and snuggling were in order, and that left little to no time to do much else. Even though it feels like Christmas and New Year's came and went in a flash, we thoroughly enjoyed our extra family time together!


Having some time off from work also meant getting a little project done. Two years ago we took on our upstairs bathroom head-on: tub, vanity, walls, plumbing...the whole bathroom got a facelift. BUT, our paint color selection wasn't the best. After we were done, neither Hubby nor I really liked how the bathroom looked, and neither one of us wanted to admit it to the other. The truth finally came out a few months ago, and we decided to change it up.



Here are a few before pics (well, not really "before"...more like "during"):


 The wall color was called "Cracker Bits"...a little too graham crackery for us.
Chocolate brown trim...sounded good at the time, but made the room feel like a s'more.


A certain little girl loves to help her Daddy-O paint! 






And here's the final project - lighter walls, cream-colored trim, and a light blue shower curtain. Feels much more cozy to me!








Aaand I'm realizing that the pictures don't do Hubby and Danae's handiwork any justice. Trust me, we're much happier with this outcome! :)


On tap for this weekend: a visit from Nana, which means Danae gets her nails painted (a favorite thing to do with her Nana) and tonight is Date Night for Curt and me. Yay!

Beth,

I like the changes you made! I am a lover of color and white trim! Your bathroom is really roomy, also.

Enjoy your date night!
