Bathroom re-do

We had to stop by Lowe's over the weekend and pick up more toilet guts (a flapper and other parts) for the downstairs bathroom. We've been discussing re-doing the bathrooms since we bought the house. I HATE the upstairs bathroom, but it's the only shower so I'm kinda afraid to start demo work in there. DH doesn't mind the upstairs bathroom but HATES the downstairs bathroom. So it looks like we might start downstairs. We started by looking at vanities, because I admit that ours is U-G-L-Y! Here were our two favorite options

Like the style, not much storage

More storage space and the one I saw had a white top

We briefly checked out flooring, but were very disappointed in the selection. We have to decide if we want to install ourselves (peel and stick tiles) or if we want to have someone else install (roll of vinyl). That's still up for discussion. 


As we wandered around deciding what else we needed, I found a cute mat to put in the bathroom (which is also the laundry area).

I've decided this is my inspiration for the room. Dark vanity with blue/aqua and green accents. DH isn't sure about it yet, but I know I'll convince him! I also found a mirror that matches the Euro styled vanity (#1 above).

Nothing fancy, but it matches the vanity

Let's hope we can get this project accomplished before the summer is over!

Quotes I adore

This week for Oh how Pinteresting I've decided to put up some of the truths about myself (or that are just fun!).

Let's begin ....

One of my favorites!

I don't say this ... often.

So true!

This is the only thing that keeps me sane some days

Butterscotch Coffee Cake

Easiest recipe I've EVER made! I've had this recipe for about 5 years, but I don't make it often. It's so yummy and not too much butterscotch flavor.


You'll need:
1 box of yellow cake mix
2 eggs
2 snack pack cups of butterscotch pudding
butterscotch chips
1/8-1/4 cup of sugar


Mix cake mix, eggs and pudding in a bowl. Add to a well greased cake pan (or 8x8). Sprinkle with as many butterscotch chips as you'd like (a handful or two). Sprinkle sugar over the top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.


Enjoy!
