Bathroom Makeover & Home Goals {Dave Ramsey Style}

Back in 2008 I did a makeover on our bathroom, I blogged about it,
 but accidentally deleted it when I combined my two blogs.
So here's the repost. 

It started out w/ your basic oak colored cabinets.

1. I first took off the doors
2. Lightly sanded the cabinets
3. Wiped off dust with slightly damp cloth 
4. Applied one coat of primer
5. Then two coats of black paint
6. Added knobs and handles

The knobs and handles are from Lowe's.

Cute little lamp from Hobby Lobby.

Paint color = "herb garden" by Benjamin Moore.

I got a TON of compliments on the paint color, only thing I did wrong was have the painter do my WHOLE HOUSE IN IT! I won't tell you how much that cost, and I slowly started changing the colors any way.

Word to the wise...when you first get into a new home, take time to really think it through. Don't feel like you need to pull a 'Martha' and decorate it from top to bottom all in the first month.

I also got this clock and scripture plaque from Hobby Lobby which is where I got the color scheme idea.

Roman shades above, from JCPenny's...obviously before I found the Nester or I'd have "mistreated" my own! :)

I jazzed up this photo board by adding crystal buttons and black fringe...made a huge difference.

Crazy thing is, I discovered it also works as a necklace hanger, (boo yeah)!

I printed pictures of places I want to travel...believe and acheive people!!!

Chunky mirror below was originally brown so I taped it off and painted it too.

 We had the builder put in linolium flooring (since they wouldn't do custom requests), since we own a masonry business we just pulled it up and added tile and wood throughout the house. This tyle is a french country chiseled edge style...can't remember the name of it but I loved it. I'll get back to you on that one (I'm sure Kimball can tell me).

We sold this home last May, I had forgotten how many beautiful renovations we did
and now I totally miss it! 

We're in a rental for now...not much freedom in that, and if there was I still don't want to
spend money on someone else's house,
that I may or may not want to move out of soon.

 So my "home goals" this year are to keep a clean and organized house,

that's a safe haven for my family,

while sticking to a budget so we can build this.

Now excuse me while I go cry my eyes out! :)
