After a few more bumps along the way last week (like our dishwasher being hooked up improperly and flooding the floor), life is returning to normal. As if to signal that the worst is really behind us, yesterday Chad found the source of our weeklong "what-the-heck-is-that-SMELL???" obsession: a package of not-frozen-any-longer-and-by-now-quite-rancid salmon that somehow got lost in the shuffle and stuffed in with the Tupperware during the move.Ahem.
I am torn between posting pics and waiting til things are truly 'finished', i.e. pictures hung, house fully furnished and decorated finished; but that could be months from now, right? So because my pesky sister is being pesky and asking for photos (and really, she's having a baby on Monday, shouldn't she be preoccupied with other things right now??) - here it is - my very favourite room in the entire house.(That's a lofty claim to make, because I challenged Chad to name his number one favourite feature of our house the other day, and we both came up with about 15 things. I may need to do a countdown.)
But really, I love this room: the kids bath. It's the most perfect bath I've ever seen. I just love it. It's retro and homey and bright and cheerful, and I am a bit sad that it is for the kids and not for us. Our bath got a lot more attention in terms of square footage and $$$, but go figure - I like it a lot - but I just cannot stop pausing in the doorway to look at the kids bath.
I love the green Marmoleum floor, and the striped shower curtain that I bought more than a year ago with the vision of this bath in my mind, and the star that perfectly matches the towels, and the animal toothbrush and soap holders. I love the soft grey in the laminate countertop that was a last-minute split-second decision that totally goes with the cream coloured cabinetry without matching it. And you know I love my pharmacy cabinet tucked into the niche beside the shower.
(A shelf bracket went AWOL in the move - thus the empty third shelf - need to make a Home Depot run to get that fixed.)This is the first 'done' room in the whole house (because really, how much furniture arranging and picture hanging does one do in a bath?) - but I will be back with more vignettes from around the house as time permits. :)

Love it - it's lovely. Thanks for posting! Can't wait to come and see it all.
Looks darling! Can't wait to see more! Hope you are settling in at home!
How on earth did that salmon thing happen??? The bathroom looks great, now let's see the rest of the place.
Megan - let's do it in person - seems like a lot less work than snapping and uploading a house worth of photos!
Just tell me when and I'll be over in a flash (since you have moved to the south we are practicly neighbours) Maybe we call all ride our bikes over.
Since we are practically neighbours now - how would you like to be my new running partner? I took the summer off but this is the week I get back at it - are you in??
EEEEEK. Yes (feeling of dread).
