Bathroom Make Over

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I started my bathroom make over back in September as part of 30 day challenge. Needless to say, I have failed that challenge miserably. Although I did finish everything before Christmas, I didn't bother to report on it. For that I'm so sorry! 

Anyway, here is the quick and cheap remodel that consisted mostly of repainting everything in sight - from ceiling to the bathroom cabinets. We also added shelves and changed all the hardware. I planned on spending about $300 on this make over but ended up with over $500 hole in budget. It seems that much wasn't needed but when you start adding those small items together, it catches up to ya. I hope you can see how dramatic of a change is here and how much better it looks now!

Black and White

Hello everyone. Hope you had a good weekend and didn't get buried in snow for the Nth time. I'm seriously sick and tired of this weather. I cannot look at this white stuff anymore and therefore I'm combating the lack of good weather with all kids of DIY. Follow me on Instagram to get insight what I'm doing next. 

Also, can we talk about this striped top which I absolutely love. I saw it on Claire and after checking the prices, had to buy it. Seriously, it's on major sale and will work with lots of pieces for the upcoming months. It's the classic that will never get old. Thank you for popping over!

Admit it, we all have been guilty of some sort of annoying things on social media. 

What are yours? Should I add anything else? 

Watch this hilarious video about Instagram! I couldn't stop laughing!

Blue & Red Train Themed Boy Birthday Party

The main table with snacks and decor. Can you spot a train? 

DIY bunting and favor bags by yours truly

Favors decorated with left over material from bunting...

Adults table with water and apples as centerpiece. Nothing else seemed grown up...

Personalized train napkins by Tiny Prints 

Hubby and I built the cardboard train for the party

The kids table complete with train tracks...

I just love this simple idea for kids table. And I didn't even find it on PINTEREST!

Kids snack station so they don't have to ask parents for juice and stuff

Lots of fruits in red and blue.

Popcorn train and rail road signs

Another look...

And another.... 

The kids loved the train. Our wall however will never be the same

Never looks into the camera

Singing happy birthday...

And then dropping his birthday cupcake... Haha

He didn't seem to mind 

 Popcorn train turned into cupcake train for dessert. Can you spot the fallen over cupcake? ;-)

Obviously, I loved taking pictures of that table.

 Jonathan turned two last week and celebrated with family, friends and a train. His favorite thing right now is all things trains and choo-choo is the word we hear a lot in our house. He loves when we go by the train station and I can't wait for summer to enjoy long walks and see his excited face when he sees a train in person. I made train cars out of honey-graham crackers and marshmallows, as well as little signs out of waffles and cherries. I ordered pistachio cupcakes with blue sprinkles (Sugar Babes gourmet Cupcakes) and made the rest of the food myself. Oh, and the train was a labor of love for sure! Lots of work but he definitely enjoyed it!

Nordstrom Clearance Sale

I finally got to browse the Nordstrom Clearance sale yesterday. Although there are many items that already sold out, there are still things available. The leopard pumps are absolutely gorgeous and I love the dark gold watch. How about this pretty floral bathing suit? Also that leopard scarf would be a great addition to any outfit and make it go from drab to fab! I hope you find something you need while the sale is going on and the supplies last.
