These are the pictures of the downstairs bathroom that I have mentioned before that my husband has worked on. It went from an off-white to this Red Delicious color with white accents. The ceiling was repaired and painted too. All that is left to do in this room is the floor......ran out of money for now. Finding what we needed at Habitat for Humanity really saved some money here and of course my husband is handy! The paint was one of the bigger expenses.
New bathroom sink and counter top. The sink is all porcelain with brass and porcelain knobs. The sink cost was $25. The counter top $5. New hole had to be cut for this sink and piece cut down to size. We used the existing splash guards. The counter top has a nice oak trim on it.
New mirror/cabinet with light. Cost $21. It had to be cleaned and then a coat of polyurethane was added after it was sanded. Some straightening was done on the back of this with glue and clamps I believe. The left side was also damaged and we bought a piece of wood to fix...$1. I found these low watt bulbs at The Home Depot. I don't have the entire piece pictured but it has three sections that open up. It looks a thousand times better than what was in here. That cabinet was probably original to the house.
New white blind $2. I already had the white, ruffled sham from another window. It was exactly what I wanted for this room.
Here is something that I have never captured before.....all three critters in one picture! Jazzy (age 3) likes to cuddle as you can see her with Mo-Jo (almost age 4). Mikey on the right is 17 years old.

Mo-Jo.....Play ball, play ball, play ball! You don't see Jazzy in any of these pictures as she opted to stay in the house most of the time due to all of the usual 4th of July sounds that could be heard!
We have a very, very light sprinkles yesterday from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. but that didn't stop us. We cooked out and had a good time under the patio umbrella. We did Teriyaki Kabobs that I marinated for a couple of days. They even had mini bella mushrooms! Yum! The corn on the cob was great and so what the potato salad and fresh veggies. The boys got into a giant squirt gun battle. More pics tomorrow! I need to play around with the shutter settings on my camera but these are still interesting pictures.
This is an old picture that one of the boys took while we were driving home from my sister's house in Hidaway Hills. I have a custom order to work on. I am working on seven pairs of bridal earrings. I also need to work on another saphiret bracelet if I can find the time. I went to the post office today as I had to mail a couple of packages to Japan. There was only one clerk again and I had to wait in line fifteen minutes. Must be the cutbacks? The line was as long as it usually is at Christmas time. It's another great day out......will be in the 70's......my kind of weather!
