Home Improvement Project Updates

Well, since the broken toe incident and the teeth extractions, I haven't done a whole lot of painting. But Mr. Querido put up the awesome light fixture in our bathroom. (Did I mention that we only have ONE bathroom, so it needs to look great, ALL THE TIME. Talk about pressure!) I love the contemporary look it gives to our space. Can't wait to paint the walls!

Oh and the little piece of wall that peeks out above the shower curtain, I am going to put a quote up there.



(Geez, my towels look horrendous..hmmm...I think that more will be changed than the wall color!)

I love it! It will be in black lettering. Not sure what font yet. I tried to print it out on my computer, but I cannot get the font big enough. Going to have to break down and buy stencils. Still cheaper than stick-ons!

I just wish there were something that we could do about the cabinetry in our bathroom. It is obviously the cheapest one the renovators could find. I am not a fan of oak, did I mention that before? In fact, I am a wood snob. My husband and I both are..lol! We like things like, Mahogany or Dark Walnut. No pine. We do not pine away for pine (or oak). We like bold wood. Wood that makes a statement. And since those options are not quite within our squeaky budget, we will probably paint the cabinets. Or replace them ...

Can I just say that I am totally impressed with IKEA? I thought that all that hoity-toity furniture would cost a pretty penny, but it is so affordable. Mr. Querido and I need to get in a date to IKEA, sans children of course. However, we would definitely need to set a limit for that shopping trip!

Stay tuned for more home improvement updates!
