My next victim in the house will be.....

The main bathroom.  I love my bathroom as it is, however I think it's missing something.  I just need to convince my husband that this will be a simple project and it will look much better in the end.  Here's to hoping right!!!

This is my inspiration.  However I think I would put the hooks for the towel's behind my door.  I will also keep the color I have painted in the bathroom now for the top part that is not covered by the boards. 

 
 
Here is my bathroom as it is now.
 

 
 
 
Tell me what you think?  Should I go ahead and do it?

Kitchen Progress

We have finally completed painting the cabinets and installing the new floor!!!!!  I already love the kitchen so much more.  We still have to get new counters and a new back splash until I can call this baby finished!!! (oh yea and wait for our new hardware/hinges/pendant light to come in)

So with out further ado, here it is.....


2 photos above are from before we moved in

 

 
It is a huge improvement!
 
What do you guys think?

KITCHEN PLANS

We went ahead and decided on our kitchen flooring.  I fell in LOVE with the cork floor look when Young House Love did it in their second house's kitchen.
 
 
 
 
So after finding a cheaper alternative we went with the TraffficMASTER Allure Cork in the Dark color option.  (These should be in around the 14th!!!!)
 
 
We are going to be laying it right over our current flooring that we have in there, so it will make for an easier installation. 
 
Because we are just covering that UGLY old floor up I am going to do my painting of the kitchen cabinets before we install the new floor.
 
So I will be painting those white, then I will be installing some new hardware.  I also found a cheaper alternative for those online at Home Depot.  They are stainless steel, but they are hollow.  If anyone has experience with these and would like to share as I am a little undecided.  The reviews said you cant even tell they are hollow once they are attached to the cabinets.
 
 
 
Then eventually I would like to paint our counter tops with one of those rustoleum counter top paint kits. 
 
 
If anyone has experience with this kit, please comment below and tell me what you think!
 
 
I cant wait for this all to be done, and for it to all come together.
 
 
Anyone else making some changes in the kitchen?
