Bags under my eyes.

Am tired, very tired.

Almost got to go New York City this week.

Been working on an exciting project, mum's the word.

Unrelated, anyone know of a good contractor or handyman who can do any sort of house renovation in Salt Lake City?

"Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting..."

Another year older for my two little men meant it was time to party!


What could be better for a herd of rough and tumble boys then a karate party?
Wearing the coveted black belt for a day is pretty darn cool!

This party came complete with obstacles, running, kicking, punching, blocking and lots of yelling.

Apparently the life skill they just learned about "self-control" didn't take.
When in the midst of presents all sense of personal space is obsolete.


Not to worry, we had a little gift of our own to give all our friends.



Happy Birthday N and T!

A word about our sponsors.

Are you sick of hearing about every single detail of this bathroom makeover yet?
Since I keep getting questions I'm going to keep on addressing them.
Three sponsors gave us some of their products to test out during this makeover.
First up is a very cool company called Ghost Nest.
Reid is the artist behind this genius idea. He can create anything you can dream up and make cabinet hardware out of it. You can also just check out his gallery of ideas. I chose "Bee's Honey Please".

Here are a couple of my favorites:




He can also make knobs out of your own personal pictures...how cool is that?
Next up. Cutting Edge Stencils. My brilliant idea to stencil the ceiling was one of the hardest projects I've taken on yet. I started by trying to stencil the wall. Easy. Ceiling, that's another story. But after all said and done it was worth it.


They have a huge selection of new stencils. I adore this one and almost picked it but in the end I chose the Trellis Stencil and am very happy with it.


This reminds me of the wall in my den.


Last but not least, Dutch Boy Paint. Ugly truth be told, there was an ever so slight odor in my bathroom. All you who have potty training male toddlers know what I'm talking about. Scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing...still there. I swear since painting the bathroom with this paint I cannot smell a thing. No lie. This paint is called "Refresh" which has no VOC's (yay) and Arm & Hammer which is supposed to eliminate household odor (and it works...and I'm not being paid to say it).


Do you have a product you'd like to see used in an upcoming project? Let me know!
