The New and Improved Bathroom

So, when we first moved in, I had this "idea" of a cute little bathroom with burnt orange walls.... So I attempted, and it just didn't work. I couldn't find shower curtains that matched well, or anything else for that matter. I would try different things, tryin to make it work and it just wasn't happening. SO, I decided that I would try faux painting over the orange and just give it a totally different look. I went to Home Depot that night, by myself thank you very much :) and picked out the metallic bronze and the glaze and did it that night. Here are the before pics......




And here are the after...................





Found a new shower curtain. Thank you Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I was nervous it wouldn't match but it actually goes really well. It looks way different in person. way better than it does in this pic.



Justin picked out the new light fixture and hardware... I can trust him with that stuff cuz we totally have the same taste. He did a great job!








It definitely looks way better in person, but hopefully you get the idea. I spent ALL Saturday night painting it. Started at 9 pm didn't finish until 7 am. Yes, Justin was sleeping.... He woke up as I was getting in bed. haha. He loves it and is very proud of me! Probably cuz all he had to do was take the tape off! But anyways, now I love my bathroom and I am happy that I never have to go shower curtain shopping again! (at least for a while!) I absolutely hate it!

Justin's Early B-day Present

So basically, Justin is the hardest person I have ever had to get gifts for. He doesn't care for small, dumb little things like clothes, giftcards, etc. And everything he wants like guns, fishing/camping stuff I know nothing about so it makes it very hard to buy him something that is the right type/style/brand/color etc. I had heard him say a few times how he wants a gun safe so bad. And his dad just recently got one and Justin loved it. So I decided that I would try to get him one for his birthday. I emailed his dad asking him for help on what kind/size/brand of safes Justin would like. After a couple weeks of searching, we found one that was exactly what we wanted at the right price. We found it at a place in UT and Justin's dad offered to bring it down for me which saved a few hundred bucks in delivery costs! So, his dad arrived on Friday night and Justin opened the door (after I had sneaked out and ran down the street to meet up with his dad and throw a bow on it lol) and was like "why did you bring your trailor, what's on it? Is that a safe???!!" Hahaha he knew exactly what it was as soon as he saw it. So he went out there and about died. The look on his face was awesome!!!









He is the most amazing husband in the world and definitely deserves a good birthday gift. Afterall, he's letting me leave to Disneyland the night of his birthday! haha. Anyways, thought I would update since it's been forever!
