master bathroom

We are really moving on the house...it's time for all the things that we have selected to be ordered and installed soon!  Months ago, I visited an Ann Sacks showroom and fell in love with the Penny Round tile in this beautiful colorway--light cream with a hint of seafoam green around the edge. It has vintage appeal and is a departure from what you see in bathrooms down here. I thought it would be perfect for our shower floor.  But, I knew it was a splurge and probably was only going to be a dream.

Well, I kept the sample in my pile of selections and luckily, my husband saw my design intention (or gave in after constant harassing...whatever) and agreed on the Ann Sacks. Yay! I placed the order yesterday so there is no going back!

While searching the internet for some install shots, I came across this bathroom that is almost a complete replica of what I plan to do in ours....espresso cabinets- check; Crema Marfil marble countertop- check; framed mirror above vanity- check....

I had originally thought I would do oil-rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures but I must say, after seeing these polished nickel ones above, I might be leaning that way.  Hmmm....decisions, decisions...yep, definitely changing after looking at this!

a little more progess

Things are moving right along at the new house! All the walls are framed inside and outside and it feels like a house.  My husband and I are getting anxious now and have started planning all our new furniture purchases even though we had promised to wait until closer to completion. So much for that since a new 8'x10' rug just got delivered today and I have barstools and lighting fixtures sitting in my garage.

Here's some pics I took this weekend....

monday musing

I'm baaack! Sorry for the little unannounced blogging break! We took a little family vacation last week and instead of worrying about lining up a bunch of posts, I just relaxed and tried to enjoy the time off!!

As I start a new week, I came across this quote that I love. I need to remind myself of this every day! I need to learn to enjoy my life a little more...it is pretty great and I should appreciate every moment!
