This is the cabinet I think we should do in the middle bathroom. And I've got PLENTY of long wooden boxes!

Containing Myself
8507331 - RateMySpaceNot sure what it is about this space that I like - but it feels "homey." I really think the old tin can with wildflowers is kinda cool, and I love the old screen door on the wall.
neicie2008 - RateMySpaceI am drawn to the idea of arranging flowers in an old pitcher - I think that the sunflowers & whatever those big red flowers are caught my eye as looking especially country.
primhome - RateMySpaceThere are a couple of things on this shelf that I like - the basket with the collection of "stuff" rather than just flowers and the bowl with the ivy and a little pillow in it! Cute!

Mowed Over?
Well, the main parts are done:
Tile is down, lighting is up (check out the John Deere sign camouflaging the off-center electrical box for the light!), repainted, new curtain, new cabinet, new mirror, and new fixtures.
That's our step-grandfather's old tackle box on top the the cabinet. So glad that it has a home!
Still need:
shower fixtures, some more towels, baseboards, new door, maybe a few more wall hangings or knickknacks, refinish and repaint ceiling

Yes, Deere
HGTV John Deere Bathroom ideaHere is the plan for Spring Break:
The back bathroom (boys' bathroom) has been stripped down so that we can
1) rip up the old tile
2) scrape and repaint the ceiling and walls
3) re-tile with the gray/blue ceramic tile
4) get the white spacesaver cabinet from Walmart
5) get green, yellow, white, and maybe blue towels from Walmart (possibly sew the striped fabric as a trim on them)
6) get & hang up towel rods, etc.
7)get and put up light fixture - I don't know what kind I want yet, though

February Focus 2008
We're going to do parts of a room at a time each weekend until we totally finish ONE room. (Unless we find a deal or something on sale for another room.) So this month we are focusing on the Guest Bathroom - a very old-fashioned powder room theme. This weekend (even though it is not officially February yet) we are going to put up a new door (they were on sale at Home Depot for $19 - couldn't pass it up!). We got a new door saw kit and the handle set.
The list of other stuff that needs to be done:
February 1-3: Floor
Regrout ($12) and seal ($10) the tile -
We will also need to invest in some kneepads ($10)
We are keeping this weekend simple because we might be going out of town one day
February 8-10: Ceiling and Walls
Scrape ceiling (already bought the ceiling scraper for $18 - this is an investment that will be reused throughout the house, though)
Repaint ceiling ($12)
Put up new wallpaper border (order online ahead of time!$25 for 15 ft)
Also need to add an electrical plug beside the vanity mirror while we are working on the walls (couple of $ for the wire, box, and plug - and I think I want a wood faceplate @$4)
Keeping the light fixture we have above sink - love it!
We MIGHT consider a new light fixture for the recessed ceiling light, or at least paint the one we have white.
Rehang the mirror trim
Decide what to do about the existing UGLY medicine cabinet (maybe reuse the shelving parts of the over-toilet spacesaver (because I have an idea about what to do over the toilet)
Put up door facing and baseboard trim (seen it anywhere from 79 cents a foot to $1.40 a foot - gonna have to decide and pick exactly what style I want for the entire house)
February 15-17: Vanity
Rebuild the vanity with oak beadboard ($13) - include some slidy drawer things or shelves inside
We'll also need new hinges and some of that iron-on wood laminate strips for the edges of the doors.
Maybe panel the side of the tub with oak beadboard and possibly create a shelf or ledge off the side (or we might wait and do this when we do the shower fixtures)
I like the handles that are on the vanity now, so I'll just re-use those
We have a piece of granite that we got from our neighbor that we want to use for the countertop and backsplash. We either need to get a quote to have the sink hole and sides cut OR I read that you can do it with a diamond-blade ($40) skill saw
The brass faucets at Home Depot are $40, but we saw some for $30something at Sutherlands
February 22-24: Tub, Toilet, and Finishing Touches
We are going to need a brass shower curtain rod for the toilet tank project and some way of building or re-creating the toilet tank wall shelf
Brass shower fixtures (ranging from $9 for the drain to $35 for the shower head - but I THINK I saw a kit with the whole thing for $40 or so)
New toilet lid ($20 or so at Walmart)
New towels and washcloths ($5 towels, $4 hand towels, $3 washcloths at Walmart)
Budget Projection:
$300 (average $75 a week)
