Plans for the Day

Let's see here...

1. Go get a 5x10 storage unit for two months so we don't have to worry about moving everything last minute in a few weeks.

2. Work on boxing up unused things by room (almost finished with the kitchen)

3. Buy some groceries so the hubby and I don't starve tonight. I know he'll appreciate that one.

4. Also buy some bubble wrap while at the store

5. Work on my birthday invitations. New goal is to mail them by this Friday

6. Clean up the apartment... but just a little

7. Go by the house, sweep a little, finish prying up the brick in the corner of the living room floor. (guess what mom, they aren't actually glued to the concrete or anything... it's just a matter of prying them apart from each other)

8. Order kitchen sink and have shipped to the store

9. Read more of The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Arch Designs

I just came across this picture on Design*Sponge and I love the arch. Our house had a poorly made archway between the entry/dining room and the living room. Matt took out what was there and is going to put a better one back in. Now I've got to figure out how I want the arch to look.

Note, this is a view of the entry room pre-renovation.

Flower Light

I think this orb flower light is pretty cool looking, but I don't think I could convince the husband to let me hang one in the house.

On the search for the perfect rugs

I found a website with really nice rugs, for really cheap... Take this 5'1"x5'1" rug.... for $72! I really think I may get it..not sure where I'll put it, but how often do you find a deal like that? I'm only wondering how expensive the shipping will be cause it's coming from Iran. Well, headed to browse the site some more. Need a perfect rug for under the bed in the master bedroom.

Master Bath

The master bedroom, walk-in closet, and tiny master bath are now in the works. We've got the rooms divided with studs and I'm trying to figure out what I want in the bathroom. We really only have room for a tiny shower, but I'm fine with that.

I love this tile from the Home Depot. It's called Merola Tile Penny Round White. This tile is pretty awesome, too. Also from Home Depot. It's a bit more expensive than the other, but our bathroom being so small, I might have to fight for nicer tile. It's Merola Tile Lantern White.

Matt is a fan of these shower heads...the rain type. Sounds fine to me.

I am a fan of pedastal sinks and medicine cabinets. Conveniently, this bath had a medicine cabinet in it already, so I'm going to salvage, clean and jazz up the mirror we already have.

I think these old boxes make a fun storage solution. Stackable is very good in a small bath.

Skeleton Keys

I would love to get the set of 3 skeleton keys from Three Potato Four. I'd add them to my collection of 2 I already have.
