Final touches

If any of you have done any home projects, you know that there are some things that kind of linger on unfinished for awhile. While we may not have the rest of the house put back together yet, I think we are finally done with the bathroom remodel! It feels so great. Here are a few of our final touches.
It has always bugged us that our small shower has no shelves and we had to use a cheap shelf hung from the shower for all of my bottles. It is in horrible shape, looks bad and has stuff fall off all the time.
Sooooo, we had them make some shelves to be installed in a corner. This was a splurge that I really wanted. The top shelf is large enough for all of my bottles. I have a hook for my washcloth and razor and the bottom shelf (which currently has Katherine's letters on it) is to prop my leg for shaving. No longer will I be falling over while trying to shave.


The final project to be completed was my scrapbook armoire that turned the dressing room into a craft room. I am soooooo excited about this. I do not know why I did not think of it earlier. If any of you have a dressing room that takes up space but is not being used, I recommend turning it into a craft or office area.

Here is the outside of the piece. It is cherry stain with brushed nickel hardware. I need to put a plant on top to make it look a little more homey in that area.
Here it is open. You can see there is storage on the doors for all of my tools, shelves for albums, photo boxes and larger tools, and a rolling card for paper and other things.

I like that when the work space tray is pulled out there is a lot of work space and everything is right there. But I think that my favorite thing about this scrapbook armoire is that when I need to stop working, I do not need to put everything away. During Katherine's nap I was able to almost complete one page. I heard her waking up and in less than a minute I had pushed the tray back in, the roller cart under the desk and closed the doors. Everything is ready for me to start working again. Best of all, she has no idea of the treasures behind those doors!
