tell me about it...

I would like to see some of YOUR before and after projects!  post some pics and tell a little about it!  It can be anything - from organization, fashion, art, recipes, classroom - whatever you did a little (or a lot) different, better or perhaps aspire to do...
SHARE!

I'll start. These are a few pics of a bathroom in our home.  This is STILL a work in progress for us, but at least I am super close to stamping "COMPLETE" on that project file!

the 'white' tile had been 'painted' a slightly different 'white

and began peeling! 

let the demo begin!

whew!  the really 'old' stuff

wow, the original pink tile!

progress - the permaboard is down

                didn't get a shot before we pulled out the yucky cabinet and faux marble counter...

trying out the pattern...

the nook

love this 'pencil' thin tile

my brother did all the tile work!

and I love the masculine hardware

'Morning! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
With a new year comes a new 'fresh' start for my Painted Fresh blog.
I attempted last year, and for whatever reason, just didn't follow through.  It's hard for me! I'll admit, I don't think I write so well - will someone read this? do I say too much, not enough?  will comments be nice? what if I break a rule? uh oh, are there rules?  hmmmm... did I prepare Hudson's lunch for school? Oh crap! it's what time? Mom, did you take your meds? where is my other shoe? and the car keys!!!  arrrghhhhhh! Bummer that laundry in the dryer will be soo wrinkled.

See what I mean? Then there are other domestic things to be done - you know. And all you bloggers have those capes - no one has shared with me how to do it all - how to get that balance.  I don't hate you, I just want to be you! :)
Now, I am just rattlin' on...

Feel free to assist me in this journey, new friends!  For now, it is time to get everyone dressed for Church! Maybe later I'll work on one of a few projects begging for attention...
