My other creative brain took me hostage!

My best friend Kathi wanted to know why I haven't been updating my blog lately. Well, I have only one excuse, my other creative brain took over and has been remodeling my master suite in my home and taking all my time. Seriously - I work all day at my paying job and then I work all night and every weekend on my use up all my pay job. I am getting close to being finished, the granite counter is installed on Tuesday. The vessel sink and faucet will be hooked up after that. There is a small amount of woodwork on needing one more coat of polyurethane and then it can be installed.

Then only the decorating remains which means I will have to go shopping and I hate shopping. Luckily I have been collecting items from my trips to South Africa and I am using a lot of that stuff to get me started. I need to buy some photo frames for some of those things. Tonight I ordered bedroom curtains, and some pillows online - 1 shopping trip avoided. I also had to order 1 blue bath towel to replace the one that turned lavender in the wash. I took my red Christmas table cloth off and thought I could wash it in with my towels and it wouldn't be a problem. For my burnt orange towel no issue at all. For my white ankle socks and the white kitchen towel, they are now a beautiful shade of pink - exactly like the breast cancer pink. I actually like the ankle socks and can't wait to get to wear them. Poor Dennis' light blue towel didn't make it though and the lavender color will just not work in the bathroom. Oh well, it will get used in the other bath.

I still need a chair, small table, and a lamp for the corner of my room. I actually have enough room for a chair in my room now - it is so cool! I don't have enough clothes to fill up my closet - I love it. All of my clothes are out of my room.

Here is a couple of pictures of the progress so far. Once we have completed it all, I can post more.

The original bathroom for the house.
















Here are two views of the new bathroom. I'll add the vanity shots after Tuesday! I am so excited that I will finally be able to use the entire bathroom in a couple of days!


I will try to do better about writing about my life. This has been a very busy 3 months.
