Well, Well, Well. Look who has finally decided to post the completed half bath pics. Me. Once again, I am sorry to say I have literally taken forever to get these up. I do not have any before pics, as I seem to have trouble remembering to slow down enough to take them, only to later realize that I have forgotten again. So, speaking of this bath, it was painted a very dark chocolate brown, with the original vanity, that I had restained (to buy my sanity some time until we happily ripped it out) We did reuse was the light fixture, and faucet. I did look for some new ones, but did not find anything I liked any better, so managed to save a little money there. We purchased this new chest from Lowes with the black granite top, and white undermount sink. I did get a steal on the floor, (after searching everywhere, and I mean everywhere) I found the perfect 16 inch marble tile, on closeout for about $125!! SO HAPPY with that find! I cant tell you how many times I picture something in  my head, only to never find it, or if I do its ten times what I am wanting to pay, so this was the dance around as soon as no one is watching happy. We added the bead board, and painted the walls Silver Strand by Behr in a flat enamel. It is rather blue actually, so go figure on the name. I think I would have liked it a little lighter, but its up for now, and seeing I find myself painting on a very regular basis...
On a side note, all of the trim and doors in our home are painted white. I went with Swiss Coffee by Behr, as it softens the bright white look a bit.
I have since painted our entire main level, entry way, and wall going up the staircase. Also finished a few furniture pieces and started on our master bath. I have however come to a full stop since school has been out, and have been enjoying the start of summer with my two amazing blessings. I wish you all an amazing summer, may you enjoy the little things, as well as the big!!

The Laundry Room/ Area. Finally painted the cabinets and walls. I have every intention of adding a shelf or two, however that will likely come right after the 10,001 other plans floating around in my head. On that list includes the amazing front load HE LG set I keep admiring at Lowes. Yes, I am behind the times.
