My last kitchen post talked about what I did, but didn't have the best pictures of it, and now that it's a bit more put together, I decided I'd share a few more pictures!  Here's the dining room, wall decor hung up, and looking great!  I wanted some kind of show piece for the dining room that tied the kitchen and dining room together, I found these at a thrift store for 75 cents a piece, so I got the whole set, and it looks awesome!  And here's the finished kitchen! I'm going to replace the counters and backsplash eventually, as well as the stove and fan, but until then, it looks great! :)

So this is the bathroom reveal! (well mostly....) I finished everything in there except a few things: the light fixture isn't completely done (the last fixture did more damage than anticipated so it's going to be a while before we finish it), the floor is still carpet, we bought a curved shower curtain rod, but we still have up the doors (which don't work really well when bathing a 2 year old...), we haven't hung the towel rod yet, and I'm thinking about staining the cabinets a darker color to make the vanity stand out more... On the flip side, it looks amazing just the way it is, so I figured I'd share it! Here's the vanity wall, all pretty and decorated.

I even got different kinds so I can change them out when I want to.  Here's above the toilet, with a 3 dollar decorative mirror from walmart. I hated how bare that wall is,...

I did realize very quickly, however, that those older blinds are much harder to deconstruct than I thought they'd be! I had to recruit my husband and his cousin to cut all the metal slats off, but it was well worth it!  Next, I started on the cushion for my bench. No one would ever sit on it because it was so hard and uncomfortable, but not anymore! I bought a cheap 2 inch memory foam mattress pad from walmart and cut it to fit (I even have enough for the bench in my husband's 'mancave') since they run about 50 dollars, and just enough to fit 1 bench in actual seat padding runs that same amount. Since I needed 2, I figured it was well worth it, and its SO comfy now!  Here's all three of the roman shades all done, and they turned out great, even if the picture didn't. That...
