Look what we did on our 3 day vacation!

My eyes were definitely a lot bigger than my pocket.  No new light fixture, no new sink, no new cabinet, no new toilet, & no new tub/shower.  At least not yet.  BUT, I do like how it turned out.  The wall color is definitely a lot darker & bluer than I expected, but I didn't hate it, so it stayed.  After everything was "done" (we still need to touch up some areas & paint the window sill & baseboards) I realized the striking similarity to the office.  :oP  I suppose there's a reason for that--I like the style!  Check out the pics:

Note the mirror with the lovely floral detail.
 
This is my favorite part of the bathroom--I'm not quite sure why I love these light switches so much.

I'm lazy & didn't iron the shower curtain--the steam from showers should get the wrinkles out eventually anyway.  :oP
New blinds!  $15 at Home Depot

This is probably my second favorite.  The tree is a wall decal from Target, the shelves are from target, and the bottle & glass bird is from Pier 1.

We painted the cabinet, mirror, & shelves.  I think the original sink & countertop look okay--well, they have to.  The painting of the mirror didn't work as well as I had hoped.  Thank goodness this picture is forgiving.  We're going to try to take the mirror out of the frame & repaint--if that doesn't work, we'll get a new mirror. 
Yeah, it sucks our entire weekend was spent doing this overhaul, but I really like it & think it was well worth it.  I just hope my husband thinks so too.  

P.S.  C, thank you so much for your help!  I will without a doubt buy you a head set so you can play your geeky WoW game.  :oD
