What's Been Keeping Me Busy Lately


*Today I'm guest posting over at Living Savvy, for Tiffany's Spray Painters Anonymous Series.  Hope to see you there!

Also the kitchen cabinets are finally done!  The rest of the molding(moulding) was installed over the weekend and I finished painting/caulking this morning.  I am really excited to have my kitchen back in order after living with a mess for almost 2 months.  I ordered some fabric for curtains, but I'm not sure if I love my choice.  So before I can "reveal" my kitchen I need to tweak a few things! 

Although it's been raining like crazy this morning, yesterday we had some beautiful weather and I was able to get outside spray paint my daughter's bed.  I'll have a post ready soon with her "new to us" bed!

Finally, In addition to working on my kitchen, I also updated our second bathroom.  This was probably the most painstaking project to date for me.  I assumed  because it was such a small space that it would be a cinch to paint and hang wallpaper.  Boy was I wrong!  But the hard part is over and now I am enjoying adding some new accessories!  This is what I've come up with so far! 

And here's what it looked like before!
I ordered some fabric samples because I'm feeling courageous and might attempt to make my own shower curtain.  But if I have better luck finding something in the stores that I like better, then I'll just purchase one.

So hang in there with me, because I have a lot to show you!
