Tile Me.

I'd like to play "do-it-yourself home remodeling" checkers... where instead of "King Me", you get to say, "Tile Me". I've been on the lookout for good and cheap tile for a while, and found some good deals, but none that are great. Even if I did, I'm scared about tackling this project... how do you live while you are remodeling your only bathroom?

We have done some updates in the bathroom... like put up an above toilet cabinet, changed the horrendous light fixture, and I've framed the mirror {long story, you'll get to hear about it later}

What i'm hoping to do is tile... everywhere, make some little alcoves, and do something with the vanity. But for now, I'm on the lookout for materials to do it for a reasonable price. So in the mean-time I sketched up what I see when I walk into the bathroom.

The End of My Self-Indulging.... For Now

Here he is, all in his new home! Don't you love how muscle-y he is? While I plan on {sadly} selling as much as we can when we move {not for a while}, I think Aslan is one I might have to keep with us. But now I'm dreaming of painting the walls just to get him a better backdrop!

{oh, and you get a sneak peak of the new crown molding we put up last weekend, we're pros now. I can't believe how good it looks and its not even finished!}

Some quick photoshopping for what Aslan might look like with a cold dark steel backdrop... What do you think?

Dear Aslan, You Complete Me

So if you couldn't tell from my last post I've been having a rough time. I've got big decisions to make that I can't figure out. Last Wednesday I found this little guy {shown below} at T.J. Maxx, and since I was killing time {I stay overnight an hour and fifteen away from home every Wednesday} I wondered around for about an hour. I probably visited my little friend, who I started fondly calling Aslan, about 5 or 6 times. I usually have pretty good control over my spending on useless decor items {my husband would say otherwise...}. But, anyways, I picked him up 5 times and put him back down after giving him a look-over 5 times. I left, happily, empty handed {with plenty of inspiration}. But I couldn't shake the little Aslan from my mind, I even dreamed about him. Then with all the stress and {failing at} decision making, I decided I needed him. And I have to say... he does make me feel better. 

I can't wait to show you how he looks in his new home.
