Spring is in the air! (Sniff, cough, blow)

With grad school on the somewhat slow slide, I've had more time on my hands, which means, I find all kinds of things to do.

Ya know how's there's always something you can do that would make your life simpler if it just magically fixed itself? I have a lot of those. Including this...

I'm pretty sure I had everything I needed if I were stranded...in every season.

Thanks to a sweet friend of mine for the 31 tote, I compiled my 'speech' materials and the rest is considered necessary :) Something so little can go a long way!

Since my brother just finished his FIRST year of college (tear), I made him a finals package. Nothing compared to the one I received but he did love it.

Vintage Bed & Breakfast bathroom??? yes.

Hellllooooo to a long over due post about our middle bathroom make over!!

Here's what i had to work with...

Every where you look - BEACH...left over decorations from Stoye's single life! :)

Notice the surfboard rugs...

Goodbye boring mirror and beach decor!

Now on to the color!

Sea Foam! Preparing for bead board!

Ready??????

Shelves made by hubby with barn wood, porcelain knobs $30, brackets $15 (all 4), chandelier $0 (mother-in-law antique)

All that's left is the lighting above the mirror and the faucet to be replaced with a more vintage style.
Here are some details that I love about the bathroom!

Ball jar soap dispenser! $0 (thanks to the Mother-in-law)

: Almost THREE months since my last blog post. Yikes - sorry guys! I promise I'll blog more once grad school takes it's grip off of me.

: I wish I had photos to share with you but I'm currently at work - so I'll share some pins. I'm sure you won't mind! :) 

I love homemade gifts like this that don't cost a lot but carry a big message - I care.

This makes me laugh so much! I do love cute preggo announcements but no one would expect this!

I'm a sucker for puppies.

Morning entertainment to go with your caffeine boost!

Oh, I'm a sucker for black cats, too.
