Show Us Your Life - Bathrooms

It's been awhile since I've participated in Kelly's Korner 's Home Tours.  This week is bathrooms.

First, our downstairs powder room:



This is the only bathroom that we have painted so far.  It's hard to tell, but it's a silvery lavender color.  I fell in love with the color, and thought that it would go great with our purple rugs but turns out it's a bit too blue.  Oh well.  It will have to do for now.
Here's the girls' bathroom:



The only reason I have that shower curtain in there is because I needed something blue/green to go with towels we already had, and that was the cheapest one I could find, plus we already had (Paul's before we were married) a framed picutre with seashells, etc.  I thought about re-doing it in some kid-friendly theme, but have pretty much decided against it, simply because I don't want to have to re-do it again in a few years when they outgrow it.

And now to the master:



Blank wall where another sink/vanity could go, door to closet, and linen closet
When we were looking at the model and deciding on all our options/upgrades, etc., we decided not to get dual sinks/vanities because we thought that wall space would be the only place to put a towel rack.  It never occured to us that we could put it by the toilet, which is where the builder put it, leaving a huge blank wall on the other side of the door.  I hate that we didn't see/think about that, but at least we saved some money, I guess.

You have lovely bathrooms! I love the silvery lavender color. We have something similar in our second floor bathroom and it's one of the only rooms we haven't painted since moving in!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
