Slow Going Progress

So I've finally gotten back to working on the house. Not hardcore by any means but actually work on the house not furniture or art to put in the house. The bathroom that became the headache of the summer is starting to look like something to be proud of. There are real walls and paint on those walls now. 

Obviously there are places that still need work. The shower for example still needs to be tiled as well as the floor and the little half wall. I also need to repaint the cabinets but that's just one afternoon of work. 

I was going to paint this bathroom white with white tile, black granite counters and some smoky black glass accent tiles, but Will wanted color. He complained about the gray in the guest bath room even though there is some really pretty purple accents in it. So I mimicked our bedroom colors since this has been made into a true ensuite. I can't wait to see this bathroom done. Slowly, bit by bit, it'll get there. 

While You Were Sleeping...

That has become my new favorite phrase it seems. My husband is on night float at the moment, which means he works 14 hour nights, 5pm to 7am. I don't see him very much right now. It's ok. That's part of why he loves me, because I'm not very high maintenance and can occupy myself while he becomes a zombie for a couple weeks. So yesterday when he woke up I showed him the coffee table/ottoman i had bought at Canton Trade Days. See below. Today when he woke up I showed him the 3 end tables and one coffee table I refinished. I say refinished, more refurbished. See 2 of them below. These two are for nightstands in the guest bedroom. I think I did a pretty dad gum good job.
