Finally Finished – Master Bath August 29, 2006

Filed under: Our Home — cottagecharm @ 2:46 pm

I decided to go with Blue and brown with a chocolate/candy type theme. I know, corny for a bathroom, but hey, our other bathroom is done in a coffee house theme.

In this first picture you can see the clock which I put a brown and blue ribbon around to jazz it up some. You can also barely make out the “everybody loves chocolate” plate above the door. It had the blue and brown color in it and a slight yellow to just tie everything in together. And yes, those are my pajamas and my robe hanging on the back of the door.

In the next picture you can see 2 of the chocolate pictures, the brown shower curtain with the blue hooks and my cute little set of pedicure chocolate things, My bath candy, and a little box with a latte shaped candle inside. hmm… I should have gotten a closer picture of the goodies, but I didn’t think about it at the time. Oh well….

In this next picture you can see the sink. and if you look really close, you can see me taking the picture…. I love that antiqued candle stand! Bought it at Meijer. I tied the same ribbon that was on the clock around the candle. The blue & lavender containers you see are filled with powder. The blue & white basket hold my hair ribbons.

and finally in the last photo, you can see the last 2 chocolate dessert pictures, the handtowel and part of the medicine cabinet. I know, really thrilling photography huh….

So I finally got around to taking new photos of the finished bathroom! I know, you will all sleep better tonight knowing that I did this. (LOL)

Here is where you can find the bathroom before the redo.

And here is where you can see it during.

 

Porch Swing August 14, 2006

Filed under: Our Home — cottagecharm @ 2:27 pm

My parents bought my hubby and I a porch swing for our anniversary. Now, this is not just any old porch swing, it is a custom built one! It is so pretty and comfortable! Hubby hung it up for me on Sunday. Once it was hung up, we realized that the chain wasn’t long enough! My hubby can’t reach the porch by about 2 feet when he is sitting on it!

Now I just need to spruce up our balcony! I would like to get some flower boxes and I would also like some kind of side table, and a clock/thermometer (maybe). I have a bird feeder, but hubby would like it moved as the birds like to poo on our balcony railings.

I will post some pictures once I take them!
