Master bath | DONE!

I'm not a great photoblogger, so instead of showing multiple steps from start to finish, I just did a before and now an after on the master bathroom. Sorry!

This room has been a work in progress for at least 5 months, no joke. Most of the reason it took so long is because I only worked on it on Saturdays and then got tired and stopped. However, now that I have more time to work on home projects, this was the first room to tackle.

Here are the steps I took to finish this almost never-ending project...

Something I should have posted a while ago...

We made a major update to our home in December. The exterior trim needed to be updated - it was blue, peeling, needed repair, etc. Here are two before pictures...

Master bath | Part One of ?

I'm finally starting to work on some lingering house projects - first up, the master bathroom. This room had wallpaper (surprise), and like the kitchen, some parts were glued right to the dry wall.


What a beautiful border! *sarcasm font*

I did a mix of removing wallpaper where water would get (near tub, shower, sinks), but decided to paint right over some of the other places, mostly out of laziness.

Thank goodness for Mom!

Our first day here was very stressful... the move was crazy, everything was (is) disorganized, and the cats didn't react that great.

Quick side bar - Paul hid in a closet most of the day and Michael hissed at Paul, ran under the bed, and then hissed at me. Neither were too happy about the change! However, they are both getting better and seem to be coming around to the whole house thing.

Anyways, back to the reason of the post - thanks to my Mom! She came over on Monday and really helped me get the living room in a good place. It's nice to have at least one room looking good!

Moving day

On Saturday, we said goodbye to Dallas, and hello to Rockwall! It was strange leaving the apartment – it felt a little like the last day of high school. You think it will be this grand, Grease-like celebration, but you just kinda leave and that's that.

Unfortunately, the moving process was a bit stressful...

First day reactions

We've moved! More to come, but here is how the cats reacted...

Decorations!

Now that we are nearing our move-in date, I've started to think about decorations! Hooray! I checked out Homegoods recently and found a few things I may pick up in the next few weeks. What do you think?
