The Home Stretch

We've been remodeling the house we bought back in November and are in the home stretch. Our lease was up on the rental house May 1.  We moved in Easter weekend. It was insanity. I HATE moving. But, I love our new home.
The transformation is pretty remarkable. We hired out the carpet and hardwood floors. Sparky did the rest (with some help from friends and family). It's been a long haul, but it's going to be great!

One of the biggest transformations has been the upstairs bathroom. We originally weren't going to do it, but we were able to cut budget in a couple of other areas to get it done. And, it's beautiful.
This is what the upstairs bathroom looked like when we had our inspection.




Well, we basically tore the whole thing apart. The shower and tub area went down to the studs. The toilet came out. The sink, vanity and light were gone.

Here's how it looked tonight:






The room doesn't have much regarding accessories, but we LOVE it. The tile is great and the room feels so much bigger!

I have a couple of inspiration rooms that I'm thinking about for this space.

I love what Emily Clark did with her kids bathroom.



I also love what Chris at Just a Girl did with her kid's bathroom too.



Maybe I'll try to combine the two. Ya never know. I'm kinda crazy like that.


I can't wait to show you the dining room. You wanna see my favorite thing EVER? Ok, here is a sneak peak.



(I need to figure out how to take a great picture of this fixture, cause this one doesn't do it justice.)
