SOME UPDATES
They are done tiling the master bath...
{I've decided not to use the settee anymore, it's too big for the space}
and I painted the walls white.
{The door is getting painted a high gloss black}
Projects are coming along well!
Have a great weekend!

I'M DONE PAINTING THE COFFEE TABLE!
Remember my Restore coffee table find?
I finally finished painting it and is now sitting in our family room...
It took me 3 days to finish.
First, I lightly sanded and applied one coat of primer.
{I used Zinsser Bulls eye 1-2-3 primer}
Then I used 2 coats of Rustoleum protective enamel oil-based paint in gloss black.
{Thanks Bethany!}
{ I waited 24 hours in between coats}
I love how it turned out!
Don't you?

DENY DESIGNS SHOWER CURTAINS
While searching for a shower curtain for the kids' bathroom, I came across DENY designs.
I think a pop of color against the white subway tiles would be nice and fun for the kids.
Here are my favorites...
Bird in Flowers
All shower curtains are by a Venezuelan artist, Valentina Ramos.
I think I like Aaron the best! Do you have a favorite?

KIDS' BATHROOM UPDATE
They finished tiling the shower surround!
The room looks so much bigger now that the soffit is gone!
{I am loving the shampoo alcove}
The question now is do I use white or light gray grout?

ANOTHER SCORE!
While browsing through craigslist the other day, I found this...
Back-story:
The listing was for "4.5Ft NEW gold colored lamp". The seller's image was not great so I emailed him...
Me: Is the floor lamp brass and acrylic?
Seller: Yes, it is!
Me: {getting excited} Is it in good working condition? I'd like to purchase it if it is.
Seller: This lamp has never been used. I took it out of the box to take a picture
Me: When is a good time to pick it up?
Seller: Tomorrow, I'll bring it to work so it's nearer for you.
Me: Great, thanks!
I googled "brass and lucite floor lamp" and look what I found...
