Funny Bathroom Humor

Some of my friends call me surprisingly inappropriate (not sure if this is a good thing or not)but it did not surprise any of them when they show up to our house to find our second bath party bath renovated to include some colorful bathroom humor. :-) Life should be fun right?!

So this was the bathroom before we remodeled...terrible!

After a lot of cleaning bleaching, new fixtures, paint and counter top, it started looking better!

Then, as I always do, I decided to rearrange some things.  I was not completely happy with the chalk board signs. Although they did make me some money...we found several quarters on the counter after our house warming party! Gotta love the jokers! I also was not in love with the iron hanging. So I whipped up some cute distressed signs and wa-la!

 I got the basket from Kirklands and was going to put it to good use as a fruit basket in the pantry but it was so perfect as a toilet paper and towel holder!  Its amazing how even with a gigantic sign saying to put the seat down Andy still forgets! Silly man!

 I have had the thinking man since college and he has always resided on the back of the toilet.

Where else would I put him?!

Any Austin Powers Fans out there?

Amazing Handmade All-Wood Headboard by Andy!

Our Master Bedroom is still a work in progress, however, we are making great progress :-) Hopefully it will be done by the end of the summer! This week Andy made our headboard ( he is such a handy man)! It is solid wood and I LOVE it!  I stained it when he was all done and today we installed it.

To determine what we wanted I got some inspiration from, of all places...Pinterest and  Andy got his inspiration from the 

DIY Channel :-) 

Here are our muses...

 Mine...From Grand Design

His...from Anna White

I love the difference in colors :-) I love bold colors and he loves...Brown. :-) Don't worry we compromised!

We combined both ideas and Andy created our masterpiece!

 Working hard in the shop...

Here is the final product! 

We attached it to the wall with cleats and ta-da!

Gorgeous isn't it! I am one lucky girl!

$50 Craigslist Hutch...be still my heart!

So, I am a hardcore Craigslist window shopper!  I wake up every Sunday and make my coffee and sit on the couch while scanning the wood furniture posts on Craigslist.  I know! I am sick! We do not need anymore furniture in our house....BUT it's so therapeutic :-)  About a month ago I came across a beautiful French Provencal hutch for 50 buck! Needless to say, I wanted needed that hutch! I convinced my amazing fiance to drive me an hour to pick it up ( I never retrieve my Craigslist finds without a friend for protection.) With all of that said here is my hutch makeover...

 

This was the Craigslist post...Hutch BEFORE

 The first item of business was to remove the  hardware and spray paint it bronze to match our door handles throughout the house.  Then, I lightly sanded and primed everything with dark gray spray primer. 

*Sigh* I miss Valspar spray paint from Lowes! Bring it back Lowes! Bring it back!

Next, I mixed up some homemade chalk paint and got to work painting everything a light cream.

Then, I distressed the corners and edges with 150 grit sand paper and wiped it all down with tack clothe to remove the dust. I then waxed the whole thing with Minwax finishing wax.  It gives the furniture a nice buttery feel.

 Andy thought that the handles looked better upside down...

they look like mustaches to me.

 Ahhh much better!

This is the finished product! Now I have to decide if I want to wall paper the back...I think I will...another day :-)
