It has been a really busy summer. I had so many house projects I was going to do and I did none of them. I went back to work full time today and I'm feeling really overwhelmed by this fact. One thing I thought was going to be finished last spring was my bathroom remodel. The sink I wanted (the only one I wanted) was back ordered for over 6 months on Wayfair, and I couldn't begin b/c it sits up off the floor, which means I needed to wait to do tiles (my current sink is on the floor). Then the floor waits on the tub, the tub on the tile etc. The sink finally came in, but then I had visitors headed to the house. So, it all still sits in waiting in my garage or my closet. To keep my sanity, I've put a few new things into the bathroom so I didn't feel quite so stunted. One thing I love is the old crock I found at an antique store I'm using to house towels. I used to have a stand that held them, but I'm replacing that with something else, so this is my new solution. I bought a new shower curtain on Etsy.
I've already shared some of the pictures I bought/made (the above natatorium page from an old French dictionary), the below sign I made with my cricut and an old window that was currently in my bathroom.
...and these old French phrase cards I sandwiched in a frame from Target.
As soon as my guest head back home I'm going to contact a guy I've used for past projects, and I'm going to get a quote. I'm trying to convince myself I can install my own tile floor, but after watching a bunch of youtube videos I might be lying to myself, but I'll decide if it's worth the therapy based on the quote I get. Above all, I don't want debt, but I do want to remodel this bathroom. Stay tuned. Here's hoping I have more updates soon!

Bathroom Update

Recently, my brother, the nomad, moved in for a bit as he transitioned back into the area, and he took over the guest room, which housed some antiques I did care about. He didn't appreciate them, which normally, I'd ignore, but I decided if I could find a home for them, I could then turn my guest room into a craft room. I craft every day. I have guest about once a month.
I'm still working, but here are a few additions. In another twelve years....I might add something to balance out the left side.
The mirror is from my great grandparents house. I found a drawer at an antique mall and hung one of the two pictures that hung in my mom's room growing up. I have a think against silk flowers, but I like dried flowers, in particular, lavender.
Here is picture number dos. I also found this make up tray at an antique store that I used to layer it.
Here is the other wall....I'm going through a layered picture frame phase. The vanity was this gold mirror when I moved in, and I was going to replace the lights asap...but...if I did everything I wanted to do, what would I do?
I have no idea what was going on with the towels here, don't be disturbed, I've since changed them.
