Radio silence?

I have to apologize today for my radio silence over the past few weeks!  It hasn't been uncharacteristically crazy, I've just been lazy and preoccupied I suppose, but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things over the next few weeks with more regular postings!!

I don't have a really major topic for discussion today so I thought I'd quickly give an update on our bathroom renovation (yeah, um, we're still working on that!) and then share a friend's blog with you.

First off, our bathroom has come a LONG way from the pictures I posted a few weeks ago of the 'black hole' (see said pictures here).  I know the pictures I'm about to show you won't seem that impressive (I seriously need to work on my photog skills!), but in any case ...

We have a new window - yay!  This bathroom window is actually somewhat close to the street, so I think the upgrade to 'frosted' glass was a good one :).  You can also see my classic white subway tiles coming along, and the new chrome shower head. 

And here is my custom vanity base ... well, part of it at least!  It has a drawer and will be topped off with a carrera marble top and vessel sink, which I think will look superb.  I am so thrilled to have opted for a custom vanity base since it saved me hundreds compared to the ones I was looking at - so take that, Pottery Barn ;).

Anyway, hopefully the next pictures I share will be of the completed project, tho the final details (e.g. towels, pictures, etc.) are probably a long way off!  In any case, hopefully the bathroom will be usable in the next week or two!

And now to share my friend's blog.  Her name is Meredith and she is one of the smartest mommies I know.  One of the smartest ladies I know in general actually!  She shares her little kernels of knowledge with the rest of us through her blog, The (Over) Thinking Mom.  It's a good read, informative and witty, so I hope you can take a minute to visit her site. 

So that's it for today, friends.  My parents arrive tomorrow and their guest room is currently in a state of disaster due to my purging other areas of the house over the weekend!!  Do you have a room like that?  One that is pretty much a storage unit for all intents and purposes until someone comes to visit?  In any case, I better get to it while my daughter is still sleeping :). Have a great day, friends!!
