We finally finished our mini bathroom remodel! I don't know if you remember or not, but I refinished the dresser last summer in anticipation of the new bathroom. The wooden dresser houses our bath towels and sundries. I'm really happy with the end results on this piece. I did not stain the wood and only rubbed tung oil to protect the wood in a natural way. I applied three to four coats because I wanted it to be protected from the moisture that is in the bathroom.
We added new flooring and subway tile around the sink and tub. A shiny new toilet that I love, which by the way, in my wildest dreams I'd not imagine getting excited about a toilet, but I am!
The entire project was under one-thousand dollars because we did all the work. We're also going to have both our sink and tub refinished. Right now we're happy with the new space.
I'm working on other home projects. I just finished a complete furniture makeover in our living room.
Window cleaning, painting, and summer clearing in steady sequence.
I'm taking a little summer down from the shop during the holiday week. Won't be back until Friday.
It feels good to catch up on home.
My gardens are slow to produce this summer because of all the spring rain we received.
The purple coneflower garden is starting to share their blooms. I also have whites but they haven't started to bloom yet.
Friday I got up early before there were any people and captured our beautiful downtown.
The feverfew is blooming as well.
I could take flower pictures all day!
Those pictures should be missing Japanese beetles! They're back. I plucked eight of the destructive bugs off of my zinnia leaves! I also have been researching how to get rid of them. + this natural bug removal method. I had never heard of Milky Spore and it seems that the process is ongoing for about two years in preventing the pesky beetles from invading our gardens.
Wishing you a Happy Summer Holiday!
Once again, July 4th has snuck up on me.
Keep the faith.
