I SO need to be straightening my hair, so I can be a part of it
NEW YORK, NEW YORK!
In one quick hour, I am headed with my sisters to have a fun (much needed and deserved) weekend away! But, I will leave you with one of the reasons I need a vacation:
my bathroom remodel!
We have sad little bathroom's in our house (except for Cameron, his bathroom is perfect) - MY bathroom is the smallest and sadest...until now!!
Here is the before and after of the boys bathroom...
we had linolium and boys who splashed a LOT, which isn't a good combo and was causing some water damage under the floor! That was the whole reason we started the remodel - but I kinda got carried away!
The sinks are much taller now, so I made a little stool (now hopefully the boys will start washing their hands again!)! Now for the pathetic little bathroom...
I pointed some things out for you guys (just incase you are doing a quick glance and not feeling sorry enough for me)!
1. my 1980 movie star lights that have a thick coat of dust baked on to the top of them
2. my once upon a time towel holder, that was turned into a blowdryer holder because there is nowhere else to put it
3. our his and hers styling center - the trick is to try and not let the lotions all fall in the toilet when you need the one in the back
4. my make-up station - easy access for Chase and more than one blush brush as taken a swim in the toilet!
Now, close your eyes - get ready - open...
ahhhhh, isn't it so clean and pretty! It is still the smallest, but it is now my FAVORITE bathroom! 
I bought this handy little cupboard that fits behind the door and now holds all my junk (most of my junk is still downstairs in a box and I am not sure if I will ever allow it back in)! It is skinny, but it is about 5 feet tall so it holds quite a bit! 
I love the floor - I could do my whole house in slate (and beadboard) - maybe I will surprise Bill next time he leaves town!
I had a awesome handy man help me with everything! He was quick and efficient and was willing to listen and change ideas with me. He also enjoys a good sandwich and girly talk (and is willing to pretend he doesn't see all the tampons on the floor that a certain someone threw out of my purse while looking for gum)! AND, he told me not to tell anyone, but he will totally work for THIN MINTS (shhhh)! If you are looking for a handyman, let me know and I will give you his #!
OK - I really have to go! See you Monday!!

Your bathroom looks awesome! I am so jealous! We will be in Vegas. I wish it was NYC.

I TOTALLY need this guy's name and number!! Please call me! :D They look totally amazing!
Great post! Going forward, I will be forwarding all of my home decor questions your way, Dede.
Did you notice that something has been missing from your blog? It might have appeared around the time I stopped commenting? I’m sorry about all that. I took a little hiatus from the blogosphere, but I couldn’t stay away too long. After a break, I had to come by again and see what you’ve been up to.
Glad that I did.

PS: Thanks for the birthday love!

I'm glad I got to "break" into your house while you were in NY to check the bathrooms out, I mean, check on your kids. LOVE them! Nice job!
Gorgeoso!!! love it love it love it!!! I must see it in person to get the whole effect. the sad part is... now I have to use my own pathetic bathroom. Can I come use yours instead???? :P
They both look wonderful, but yours is the absolute best. That color is perfect. What color is it, if you don't mind my asking.
