Thanks to the internet (and quite frankly Pinterest for helping me find things on the internet) I am happy to say that “Project: Paint The Bathroom Door” was a huge success. It was difficult to allow the 5 year old to help but since she was so eager, I thought I should let her so she can learn early how do be a DIY‘er herself. Is it really ever too early… Read More
Well I’d love to write a long blurb about the bathroom and all the crazy things we’ve done but I simply do not have te time. BUT, I’m so excited about the progress we have made I have to share with you. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I’ll leave you with photos.

Glory Hallelujah! I am happy to report that the temperature yesterday and today was around 60 degrees and we were able to completely paint our soon-to-be bathroom vanity. Here are some of the photos that we took over the last few days of our little paint project. We had a little helper ask to come out. We decided she could use her own small paint brush and paint the drawer top edges…. Read More
