My Home this Morning (and a little announcement)

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let's start with the little announcement first.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've had a lot of people tell me that they have furniture that just needs a little bit of love and they don't have the tools or time to work on it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So here's a possible solution. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you live in the Utah valley/ Salt Lake area, I would be more than happy to come and pick up your piece, paint it/stain it, whatever you want!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rates are listed under the tab at the top of the page and you can email me if you want to talk shop. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now on to something beautiful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The lovely <a href="http://jandjhavican.blogspot.com/">Jessica</a> emailed me some pictures she had found of absolutely <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">stunning</span></b> bathrooms.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Is anyone else grateful to live in the 21st century and not have to use a latrine?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal">Hello. My name is Jessica and I am what you would call a timid DIY gal. When I say timid, I mean I do small (very small) projects that don’t require as much time and effort as say, restoring or giving beauty to an unwanted piece of furniture like our dear Julia. I can make simple party decorations, a hair bow board, and do silly quick crafts. However, since talking with Julia, my wheels have been turning and I just love how DIY projects can give your home a special touch that no one else has. Instead of a cookie cut piece of furniture, you have one that is uniquely you. This is why I’ve decided that this summer I am totally redoing my bedroom dresser.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This thing is massive! And the poor thing has been neglected, but lucky for my husband and me, we only paid $20 for it. $20 for a dresser that is wood (and heavy mind you), 4 feet tall, and almost 6 feet wide, we definitely got a steal!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So this may very well be part one of two posts cause I’m turning this ugly beast into something grand. Can a dresser be grand? I guess there is only one way to find out!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">But until then, I have been thinking about bathrooms. It’s not hard to do, I curse at the very small bathroom we currently have and think often of the day when I will have one that is 20x the size. Ok, maybe not 20 times, but definitely something a lot bigger! Two things I loved to do growing up was to dance and sing in my bathroom, but how can one do that when you stand in the middle of your tiny one with your arms outstretched and you touch each wall with your fingertips. I love me some dancing space! But you know what I also love, room to move! I can’t stand getting ready for bed in our bathroom with my husband at the same time, because we’re always bumping elbows and getting in each other’s way<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>so we just go in there one at a time, not to mention that my tub is not conducive for anyone over<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>5 ft. 5 in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So my 5 ft. 10 in. frame feels so cramped in my bathtub that it’s not even a relaxing experience. Aren’t baths supposed to be relaxing?</div><div class="MsoNormal">So here is my must have checklist for my bathroom in no particular order because really, I want them all.</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">  </span></span></span>Lots of counter space with his or her sinks</li><li style="text-align: left;">A lot of storage space that allows for easy organization</li><li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>A large jetted tub</li><li style="text-align: left;">A vanity (oh my word, can you imagine getting ready in front of one of these?!)</li><li style="text-align: left;">A large shower so that when I bend down to shave my legs, my butt doesn’t hit the cold tile. You know what I mean?</li><li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>BIG!!!</li></ul><br /><div class="MsoNormal">As I was browsing the good old internet I found some pictures of Master baths that I really liked bits and pieces of. I looked through a lot of pictures and still haven’t found one that is exactly what I want. I guess that means I will have to custom build one. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> So here are a few that caught my eye…</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2Cc4JIMstIKZyumZ8QHq5CqKjI-mQpjabzblsD7UgLfXnvkRgL5Sa5zcM6jORKgbl2FYLWRPm0ORPR-0EmIFTC2qBEHvfQ6Y8Od2tYFWX5hfor5kQhNMZVlM74p7JgVmulJw_Bt4V3I/s1600/bathroom2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2Cc4JIMstIKZyumZ8QHq5CqKjI-mQpjabzblsD7UgLfXnvkRgL5Sa5zcM6jORKgbl2FYLWRPm0ORPR-0EmIFTC2qBEHvfQ6Y8Od2tYFWX5hfor5kQhNMZVlM74p7JgVmulJw_Bt4V3I/s640/bathroom2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Let me just say first of all that the sink is not ideal for me (remember the lots of counter space)? I also am not a fan of beige/tan in my bathroom. Or at least that much of it…but don’t you just love the fireplace next to the built in tub? That just seems like the ultimate relaxing scene. I can imagine me in a nice bubbly tub listening to my yoga cd with the ambience of the fire crackling beside me. I wish I was there now. And if a fireplace isn’t desired (I don’t know why it wouldn’t be) you can always put some extra shelving in. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqWjBktJRVpejFm7AOdfkGZp4jIrK7sWx2iKOhTV6ZxEFieL42Zp2fVeDHerpaBUo0wwen_OKyQj8jAOzJMaD1TAuFZWaD686vgq0UfVACpaRh7Op2J2ke6isUIQnOXarAgFbzCsk7uAc/s1600/bathroom5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqWjBktJRVpejFm7AOdfkGZp4jIrK7sWx2iKOhTV6ZxEFieL42Zp2fVeDHerpaBUo0wwen_OKyQj8jAOzJMaD1TAuFZWaD686vgq0UfVACpaRh7Op2J2ke6isUIQnOXarAgFbzCsk7uAc/s640/bathroom5.jpg" width="640" /></a>I just think this is a prime example of using your space wisely. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8QV-ZgT_9CJ-6Km1bCsRBbF22i1-uCktf7kLNKCbsaZiSqGWz8gOn9VPo7hDtJ-AU5P04Skqd_Uw4gBSEX66EuzKwtDmSEFRuefOR_MLu0K6d4ixeQdPMlvFilC87Xg9uKh5W9Eu8rcA/s1600/bathroom6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8QV-ZgT_9CJ-6Km1bCsRBbF22i1-uCktf7kLNKCbsaZiSqGWz8gOn9VPo7hDtJ-AU5P04Skqd_Uw4gBSEX66EuzKwtDmSEFRuefOR_MLu0K6d4ixeQdPMlvFilC87Xg9uKh5W9Eu8rcA/s640/bathroom6.jpg" width="640" /></a>I’m still trying to decide if I want His/Her sinks next to each other like this or on opposite sides of the room like this one below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRb4eoq9nPRdjPtGXy1tjcdH8DPimLzGV8KsK8Dj4dE7wP79Ghfn9hzz2s3fgiboHpXEOBcwbh5FR6vQFjby3OuryHt0YiiCOu5cgqI0IcrLniAQByBATKT4N6IQxt8rPR8xibRnttc90/s1600/bathroom4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRb4eoq9nPRdjPtGXy1tjcdH8DPimLzGV8KsK8Dj4dE7wP79Ghfn9hzz2s3fgiboHpXEOBcwbh5FR6vQFjby3OuryHt0YiiCOu5cgqI0IcrLniAQByBATKT4N6IQxt8rPR8xibRnttc90/s640/bathroom4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHr1jSNZK1tdeLxMVe1kyFpLgw5eMh1sq9XDCTQ7oiWo4BFFY-Q43SNPP2n99ex78y5OBZ51w6Di_54A_tq3OzIwvOEs5extlHsSAh0910gzuamd68EEyLcNixwx61E1gCRzRBFc7gILI/s1600/bathroom1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>It doesn’t have as much counter space as I would like but it’s just so classy and beautiful. And I could also design something to add a little more counter space right? And I love the dark wood floors with the white cabinets!

Sad.)</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="" name="_GoBack"></a></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">But if I can’t have separate cabinets and sinks, I like the idea of a vanity putting some kind of separation in-between like this one.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFqRBbcoBkqHOhY3EuOtP3btsxY-X-6jzujQn6WY4iulj5zNy-0ykyXdRYyReSC4fSmnm2SgLDnnH0fyrd3NpepH_WS-fGSVvj6A89Aw4O4xVaO5H7YzuajNOWjZDZTgEyQQWRuccnmI/s1600/bathroom3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFqRBbcoBkqHOhY3EuOtP3btsxY-X-6jzujQn6WY4iulj5zNy-0ykyXdRYyReSC4fSmnm2SgLDnnH0fyrd3NpepH_WS-fGSVvj6A89Aw4O4xVaO5H7YzuajNOWjZDZTgEyQQWRuccnmI/s640/bathroom3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">What do you think?
