DIY and Family

These are my brothers and sisters at my wedding. Photography done by Joanna Davis Photography who is based out of Venice, FL. (Side note she did an amazing job!)

And these were my brother and sisters Thursday when they first saw I was there 

They were so surprised...I love it! I normally surprise them because I fly stand by and font want to dissapoint them if I don't make it all the way to them. Normally pretty stressful but what (that is worth it) isn't? 

So in preparation of our possible new home I took on a DIY project at my parents place. The bathroom was getting to be a bit, well disgusting. I say that in the nicest way possible. Between already having burn orange countertops that we never got around to changing and three kids under the age of 13 that share it lead to it being well beyond time for an updated change!! Plus I needed to test my home improvement DIY skills before doing my own home!  

Taking off/ripping down the towel rails that were rusty, tacky chrome. One wouldn't ever stay up and the other I literally tore out of the wal! 

The wall before ... 

So the one bottle is the glue wasn't the smartest choice ...so here I am holding it up for a few minutes. 

The wall is up along with two fun sayings and the old dusty fake plant is removed from the white bowl hanging.

New shower curtain to tie in the orange counters, wood owl with pattern and white background to bring the white trim to that blank space. 

Emptied off the counters space and started trimming the large mirror with a white frame. Neutral longer rug to cover under both sinks. 

So for a small budget, last minute and not getting too crazy on top of us all being sick not too bad and a nice simply change that can be managed by three kids under 13!  

Tips mfir me for the future DIY projects and posts?? I'm new at least so any advice would be absorbed with great thanks. I do need to improve on my taking of photos and details of steps which hopefully I can focus on during my next DIY. 

So long Florida! Back to the frigid cold of beautiful but possibly never being warm again Minnesota.
