another monday, another bathroom update (vol. v)

hey all.  hope you like the spring colors!  it's been another week since i've posted - sorry about that!  i always intend on posting over the weekends, but... just doesn't happen.  i worked on saturday but came home and went into yet another cleaning frenzy.  i just can't seem to keep this home clean EVER.  it's beyond frustrating.  but with two cats, a messy husband, hardwood floors in a 100+ year old house i don't know how it will ever be anything but dusty.  but it's what is inside the house that counts, right?  that's what i'll keep telling myself anyway.

i ended up having an impromptu girls night at layne's place and left philip behind.  of course, rather than watching the rest of the rockies game with his friends, he decided to keep tiling.  and it's a good thing, because this is what the shower now looks like! 

please forgive the poor quality, but i left my good canon at layne's on saturday.  but check it out!  there's still a ways to go, but there you can see the tile all the way down to the tub and it looks AMAZING.  i couldn't love it more.   we bought the fixtures, but haven't installed them yet.  i don't have photos of all the fixtures but here's the faucet.

we decided to go with bronze fixtures, because we aren't doing the white stone border anymore.  the stone is special-order only (you'd think we would have looked into that sooner...) and we don't want to waste any more time until this damn project is done.  we had a small tile mishap, but philip has sorted it all out and you never would have known.  and if you didn't notice, i won't tell you :)

sunday was shopping day!  among our finds were that our local blockbuster is closing (surprisingly we are not netflix people!) and they were selling all their movies for $6.  snagged seasons 2 & 3 of mad men (i wish i were joan) for only $16 each.  then found some shoe sales with mom and found these darlings.

perfect for spring

It's almost spring here... and before you know it the posts about the bathroom will be long gone and there will be posts of the yard.

lilac bushes i planted last summer - looking up! 

but for now it's time for me to rest.  i'm sick today and my head is absolutely throbbing.  more later loves!
