The original title for this post was “Bathroom Sneak Peek” but then I realized that FSL could pop up in some skeevy search results when googled. Creepers.
If you’re just catching up, we made the decision to remodel our bathroom last week. We demoed Monday and had a paint mishap the next day. It needed to be finished by this Sunday. We are hosting a big event at our house. Max is getting baptized and casa FSL will be buzzing with people. Needless to say, this was an ambitious project considering our time constraints. Oh yeah, we’re also on a tight budget. No biggie right?
So, Wednesday night Max & I went to Lowe’s to choose the vanity, toilet, sink & faucet. He was pumped! Kind of.
Thursday night, we brought Mr. FSL and our niece to make a final choice. By the way, picking out a toilet led to an interesting conversation with Dan our lovely Lowe’s employee (flush power, seat comfort, etc. yeah. weird.) . Anywho, Friday night we went back with our debit card. We left with these lovely boxes.
Our bathroom is finished for now. New toilet, mirror, vanity, sink, fixtures, accent decor, paint, even a new door knob…done and under budget. I even D-I-Yed a couple of small touches yesterday. Just because I love a good cliffhanger, I’m leaving you with is this sneak peek iPhone shot for today.
Lots of this D-I-Y makeover story was documented on Instagram. If it wasn’t Instagrammed, it never happened right? I’ve been slacking on home and life updates on the blog because I post it all the app. I’m embarrassingly addicted to it (follow @FindingSilverLinings) 🙂 . I’m aware ever since Michele posted this. Realizing & admitting the problem is the first step to correcting it right? Right. I’ll be blogging updates more 🙂
Hi Mindy! From the sneak peeks, I can see that it is FAB. And since I couldn’t wait for the posts about renovating, I am catching up via Instagram. Feel free to follow @iarias82
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to stop by 🙂 I’m so excited to share the reveal this week!!
looking great!!
Okay sooo… I used to have a blog (A Little Paint) and then I kind of abandoned it and started a new one a couple months ago, but still kept up with my blog reader and you happened to be under my “Favorite Bloggers” section. Apparently, you switched domain names over but it got completely lost on my reader so I just assumed you stopped blogging too then I clicked on your blog and found out you’ve been blogging THE ENTIRE TIME and like HAD A BABY! Our boys are about 3 months apart! Congratulations and so excited to update my blog reader so I can keep up with what’s going on in Mindy’s life!
P.S. Can’t wait to see your bathroom!
Ah! So glad you found it! I lost 3/4 of my readers when I made the domain jump 🙁 I follow you on Pinterest and saw you had a baby board, but didn’t want to assume anything (lot’s of people have baby boards that aren’t parents). I’m so happy for you guys!! Being a mother is so amazing isn’t it?! Can’t wait to check out your new bloggity blog!
