Bathroom Redo

Our guest bathroom has had a small renovation recently. About 2 or 3 months ago, Casey began to change out the light fixture and mirror. He started on it, and realized that he was in a little over his head due to some inconsistencies the builders made when they put in the light and hung the mirror. About 2 weeks ago, Charlie Rickerson came over one morning for about 30 minutes and helped Casey tape and patch the drywall (Casey had cut the huge hole, but wasn't sure how to fix it properly). After Charlie did that, we retextured it, painted the entire bathroom, and hung the new light fixture and framed mirror. Here are some pictures of our progress! We are really proud of it! :)

Here is what the bathroom looked like when we moved in. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the old mirror and light fixture, but just picture the vanity type of light with 5 bare light bulbs going across and just a standard, rectangle, sheet mirror on the wall.
Here is the new light fixture and framed mirror! Casey did a great job!
Our cutie black and white stuff
Our new towel hanging shelf instead of the old silver towel rack
I hung two black and white pictures that I took in Europe
Cinque Terra, Italy & Paris France
The vanity one more time!
Now that we're done with the bathroom we're working on our office. Those of you that have been to our house know that our office is basically the catch-all room and is extremely messy. We're working on it, and I'll post pictures of our progress soon!

lauren,
the cricut expression is amazing! mrs carl got it for me this Christmas. I haven't had time until this summer to actually learn how to use it...and I haven't even learned that much about it still! its amazing. If you would like to come over and use it for something in your classroom you are more than welcome to! It would be fun!! I used it to make signs and do my bulletin boards. If you click on the link you can see what the expression does-the teacher stuff is near the end of the video...its cool (the video is in the top right corner:
