Phase one bathroom renovation

As I mentioned way back when... We lost a bathroom when we moved to our current house. We were at 3.5 baths and now are at 2.5. Pretty crazy considering we gained TWO kids. Ha! But, if you read my novel (http://ohhhsweetcaroline.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-new-casa.html?m=0). on our reasons for moving/picking this house... You know why. Which is why we are also thinking of adding a bath at some point, but for now we are working with what we have.

Which is... A very small full bathroom upstairs. Not that we will be here when the kids are big, but three kids sharing this space?! You can quickly see why a third bath may be a good investment.

Anyways, for now.... We just did a few inexpensive upgrades to this bath and I used stuff I already had for the accessories/shower curtain etc.

Beautiful, right?! ;-)

A can of paint and some new hardware went a long way in making this bathroom more presentable. We got new lighting, towel bars, and knobs for the cabinet. Eventually we will get a new top for the vanity and a new faucet to match the other brushed nickel hardware. We will also paint the vanity, a fresh coat should help... Just haven't had time yet!

I need a different mirror, I just have this one propped up for now, but it's obviously too big. And then I want to get some frames for the wall across from the toilet and frame some bath time pics of the kiddos:-)

Making progress over here, one day at a time!

Nothing even close to spectacular, but it's a kids bath in a home we don't want to invest much money in, so I think it serves it's purpose!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...

Sweet Caroline
