"Princess Layla" & New Bathroom






























The other day we had Layla for awhile when Richie and Christel went to a movie. The girls are really into dressing up and playing tea party lately so when they started putting their dresses and crowns on we decided to let Layla join in. She kept trying to eat the tulle on the dress but didn't even notice the crown. The girls even gave Layla her own cup to drink tea out of, she just chewed on it.
Well the bathroom is 90% complete! All that is left to do is grout between the tiles on the wall, seal the grout, I have to paint the crown molding, and pick out accesories. Thanks to my mom the accessories will be purchased sooner than I though, thanks Mom! It will be so nice to be done with this remodel, all the tools around the house and clutter is driving me crazy. Ryan really busted his butt on this job, I am so proud of him.

Remodel update...

Well I don't have any pictures yet to post but I will soon. I came home Monday night and was quite surprised by my husband, he really busted his #$@ this weekend!(A big thank you to my brother Ron and Duane's friend Ron, thank you for all your hard work) They had the walls in and textured, the bathtub in place along with the shower walls, the new fan and 4 new outlets(I only had one to use before). the toilet was in, and the concrete board is in and ready to have the tile laid. He also cleaned everything! He dusted, swept and vacuumed, the only thing I had to do was mop the floors. I am so proud of him this weekend, he is really hurting from everything so I think I will get a massage gift certificate for him to reward him. Today I didn't have any appointments so I painted the ceiling and walls. I realized that I painted the walls the same color as my hallway AFTER I had already had one wall done. Oh well, it will look different once I figure out what accent color I want to do. The tile might get laid this weekend so if I does I will post pictures after it's done.

Bathroom Remodel

This is looking in the the bathroom before...Looking toward the door...
This is where the tub used to be...




Our new bathtub and concrete board layed on the floor....



So, many of you know that we are remodeling our bathroom, not just adding a new toilet, we are totally striping it down to the studs. Ryan started on it last night and by this morning when I left for work he had everything but the toilet and floor ripped out. When I got back from work they had the concrete board that has to go on the floor for the tile, and the new bathtub in. It is 11 pm right now, ryan and my brother Ron are working on wiring the new outlets and light switches. Don't really now it electricity and beer mix, I guess we'll see. I met my mom at Culdesac with the girls so she could keep them over night since we don't have a toilet and the house is wreck. I am heading up tomorrow so I don't have to try to keep my house clean through all of this. I am hoping by Monday when I get home that it will be ready for me to paint and the tile to be laid the next weekend. Here are some before and during pictures. To be continued....
