a new bathroom!

i mentioned a couple post backs that we lived at my parents for a month while our landlord totally gutted our bathroom (i'm pretty sure i was post-free during that period). though it took much longer than expected, we are very pleased with the results.

unfortunately, i never took photos of its previous state (probably because i disliked it so severely), so i can't give you the full effect. these photos aren't the best, but i'm too impatient to have another go with the camera.

it feels like a little oasis now. granite countertop, stone floors... what?! i always imagined my dream bathroom to have white floors (along with a white claw foot tub and white pedestal sink with a pretty beveled mirror hanging from ribbon :)), but i'm really liking how this stone floor hides hairs and such (we shed a lot). when we had the white floor, i felt like i had to swiffer it everyday!

EVERYTHING is new and everything is in a new spot. the tub used to be perpendicular to where it is now, and there was a wall at the end of it. this created a tiny area for the sink, which meant only one of us could get ready at a time. although it is still compact, it feels SO much roomier. it's just a happy space to get ready for the day.

notice all the rifle paper co.? yea, i'm obsessed. i mean i even hung up the insert that came with their calendar. it's simply too pretty to toss.
