New Kitchen Color

I found some yellow paint in the basement that the last owner must have left, and thought it would look nice on one wall in the kitchen. I think it does!

Bathroom Remodel

Cathy spent the past month remodeling the bathroom. All it took was some paint, new towel racks, and a lot of time gritting her teeth and scraping off the frog wall paper.

Here's some before shots:


Note the frog themed wall paper. There are even fake frogs glued to the faceplate of the light switch!


You can see the bottom of the cabinet I painted right above the toilet. There is also a wooden toilet seat. And more frogs. They sure loved their frogs.

Here's the after:
Notice how frog free it is! Scraping down that wallpaper took FOREVER. You can also see our new towel rack on the right. We painted the walls a purple color.
Here's our other new towel rack. We also replaced the faceplate of the light switches. We were not able to scrape off the wooden frogs.
We replaced the wooden toilet seat with a white one. You can sort of see our new toilet paper holder here.

This picture had been in our bedroom, but we thought it looked just right in the bathroom.
Here's the sink area. Not much going on here.
A better shot of the paint and picture.
I painted the wooden cabinet they left a pale yellow. The drawers underneath are something I picked up at a thrift store when we lived in Fort Collins. I painted those too, and they're very handy.

We nearly pulled this plant, thinking it was a weed...


We're glad we didn't. Pretty!

There's Hope

Maybe Annie will let Sarah be her friend after all.
