Upstairs Bath

Love, love, love my blue bathroom. I am pleased with myself on how this one turned out and especially satisfied that I thought outside of the box--at least for me. I didn't plan on orange but had a small thought about the color wheel, talked myself out of it, but then found some orange on clearance, and then the fab curtain with orange accents. I decided to go for it. As with every room in my house, still nothing hung on the walls. I'm too non-committal! By the way, this is now baby's bathroom. Still have to touch up some details on the new bathroom downstairs before I take photos.

Fireplace--Finally Finished

Before


After




We finally finished the fireplace. It was very complicated to frame because there were pipes in the way but husband did a great job figuring it out. We got the fireplace from Alpine and they installed it. Father in law had a great tip and we saved a ton of money by having the plumber run the gas line instead of the fireplace crew. Husband and I tiled and grouted. And we finally got the mantle installed (custom built) this week. Now I have no idea what to put there. We tried the painting in the photo but it just isn't the right shape or size.

Totally worth the investment by the way!!
