You can visit the site at jasonlovescj.com. Because we’re cool like that. PS I am OBSESSED with ElegantTheme’s “Convertible” theme. It’s amazing and so easy to use! If the theme was better suited for blogging I would have already changed STC over to it.

Here are a few pictures of how our main bathroom is coming along. I still have to re-caulk some areas, paint the baseboard molding, glue the sink back into place… but it’s almost there! I’m very happy with it. I think this project has given us the ambition to move forward on other projects around the house, too. For example, we now have a new faucet in the kitchen… and a new dining table and chairs! More on that in a future post. Here’s a hint: it’s pink!

These picture gives the most accurate shade of what the paint color looks like in there. It is called “Tear Drop” by Pittsburgh Paint. I used their Manor Hall line of paint in a pearl sheen so that it’s easy to wipe down.

The photo wall is mostly things we picked up last summer when we were on vacation at Bethany Beach; Jason’s family has been going there for vacation for years and years and I love it there! The silver frame in the top right holds a draft of Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl.” I just ripped it out of a book I had used for my thesis way back when since I figured I would most likely never read that book again and I love that poem! Underneath it, which you can’t read because of the reflection of the glass due to the light (we don’t have any natural light in this bathroom so it is very hard to photograph!) is a quote from e.e. cummings which reads “for whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.” I just fancied it up with some interesting font choices. On the left, the grey canvas was a gift we received this Christmas! Isn’t it cute? You can customize similar ones over at Red Envelope.

The floating cabinet above the toilet is a part of the Better Homes & Garden collection that’s at Wal-Mart. Yes, I said it. Wal-Mart! It was crazy cheap and I was in love with the cottage-style of it.

Installing the faucet wasn’t my favorite project but I am in love with its shape! The best part for us is that it has an aerator. Our old faucet did not have one, and we weren’t able to install a new one because the threads inside the faucet were damaged. So anytime we or a guest would wash their hands, water came out at full speed! It’s so nice not to warn anyone using that sink anymore! You can see in this picture that I still need to re-caulk around the sink bowl, too.

So there you have it! Just a few updates and the bathroom looks and feels like new. I just wish I could find a magic cleaner that would make the twenty year-old linoleum look whiter on the floor, but I can handle it until we do a bigger renovation to this bathroom (most likely in 2013).

I’ll have more pictures once we finish the last few things on our list! We have a lot to tackle in the next few months because we decided to have our rehearsal dinner at our house for our wedding. Crazy, right? Yes we are.
