bathroom updates

ok, so we're slowly getting things done around here. we have our new bed ordered (a nice new king with a really nice bed frame) we're picking that up tomorrow. the tables are taking longer than we thought (sanding and staining) but the little decorations around the house are getting done! we hung up some pictures today, and the bathrooms are now officially DONE! so here are some photos up the upstairs bathroom:


Also, I got a hand towel rack for the bathroom, but i didn't think about how it is supposed to be used before i got it. (i didn't know towel racks could be confusing) so the top picture is of the rack, and the second picture is of how we're currently using it. i don't know if this is the right way, but it's not too convenient, but the rack is too short for the towels to hang off of the hooks, so i don't know what else to do with it:



now for the second bathroom, it's just a normal little bathroom, but i didn't know what i wanted to put on the walls. but what i did know is that i didn't want to go out and spend money on new pictures and decorations for it. so i just took the pictures from the bathroom in the old apartment and painted the cream frames with a little bit of some goldish paint. the first picture is the "before" frame color, the others are the "after". i think it turned out really good, and now they don't clash on the white walls! so here are some pictures of my afternoon craft project:





and don't you worry! ryan was doing his own afternoon craft activity of staining the shelves for the living room, they look great, and those pictures will come later!
