love decorating with color from martha.
hello, hello! do you remember me? i took an unexpected blogging break last week because i underestimated the total mayhem involved in demolishing a bathroom in a 800 square foot apartment. our bedrooms were locked up tight with our computer inside and there was so much dust and mess i thought it best to leave them alone.
well, within five days we went from demo to pretty bathroom, but the picture is not complete because we still don't have a sink. i'll show you what we did next week, but for now, our bathroom reminds me of a big sugar cube as it's all white and lacking our special touches. last week, i really missed you guys and was often thinking of places i'd rather be. spending time with any of these ladies would have been divine.

I can't wait to see the finished product!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI checked in a couple of times already, in case my Google reader would have missed something...
Now,that's a fun list you've got there - thanks for including me!
Is it still that hot there too? We've been experiencing scorching temperatures over here lately - it's become almost unbearable, so, so hot...
haha! sketchy cats will be in nyc this weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww, you are so SWEET! It's good to hear your bathroom is coming along nicely. It's all in the personal touches. That's where the real fun begins, am I right? It's nice to see your beautiful photos again. Have a blast of a weekend. Sounds like you have a full and perfect long weekend ahead of you!
ReplyDeleteI feel honored to make the list! You know, I'd love it if I could redo our bedroom. But it's the only one in a 950 sq ft house. I keep thinking we're going to add a 2nd one in our basement or something and then I'll update but I'm not sure I can wait that long. Therefore, I'm impressed.
ReplyDeletehow much fun was that? big hugs cindy!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS CINDY!!! You are the best:) Cant wait to see your bathroom!
ReplyDeleteaww--yes lovely! when all your projects are done i would love to have you come over and craft some jewelry!
ReplyDeleteOoooh how I love being on your list! I feel your pain with remodeling... been there done that and made it through... there is an end... or at least a liveable... ;)
ReplyDeleteENJOY your weekend!
