Sunday Funday!

Today Joe and I did a little shopping!  First we headed to Bed Bath and Beyond to look for closet organizing stuff...and of course didn't find anything we liked.  Then we looked for curtains, but didn't really see anything we liked either!   So as we were leaving we stumbled upon the bathroom ensembles.   And I found one that was perfect for the girls bathroom.  I knew I wanted to do a "beachy theme" and had seen some on Pottery Barn Kid's website as well as other places.....but then I found one today that I liked even better!  So we got everything for it!
The accessories:  Beach Bum Bath Ensemble by Saturday Knight Limited

I am thinking of doing a tan color on the walls and a red trim to match the red in the beach umbrella!  We are hoping to get that room painted over Thanksgiving weekend (this weekend)!

Next we headed to Capital Lighting to get some interior lights.  They have so many to choose from, it's very difficult.  But we found a few that we really liked.  We picked a chandelier for the kitchen (above the table) and 2 pendents for above the island.    We aren't 100% sure about the pendents yet, because they are stained glass and we aren't sure how they will look once we get them into the kitchen.  BUT we saw a few others we liked, and after looking around on their website I have a few back-ups. 

Here is the chandelier:  the quality isn't very good.

And the pendents....
again...bad picture quality, but it has green and burgundy in it. 

And my 2nd runner up

And that concluded our shopping!   It doesn't sound like we did a lot...but we did! 

Joe also ripped out all the staples in the playroom floor so we can get moving on that room and give ourselves some much needed space.  With the holidays coming we'd like to be able to get a Christmas tree eventually, and the only way to do that is to get rid of the "toy corner" in our living room.   This week over next we will be in touch with the painter to see if he can put the 2nd coat on the room and paint the trim and windows.  Once that's done....the room will be ready for playing! 

I have no idea what's in store for us tomorrow....maybe more trim?  Maybe tile?  Maybe cabinet molding?   I do know that our granite gets installed on Tuesday!!!!   Exciting!

Sunday Funday.....a day late! Whoops!

On Saturday, Joe and I dropped the girls off at my parents and went to do some house stuff!  It's so much easier to do it without them!

Our first stop was to GPS to pay our balance on the cabinets, pick up our sinks for the kitchen and the butler's pantry and pick out all the faucets for the 2 rooms.    We went with ELKAY for both.  Here is the one we got for the kitchen:

Undermount, Stainless, 29.5" wide and 10" deep.

And this one for the butler's pantry:

Undermount, stainless, 22.5" wide and 7.5" deep

We picked out our faucets too...but I don't remember what we picked!  :o)
Next up was to Sleepys to get our new mattress for our bed!  

We decided on a SUPER comfy Sealy Posturepedic Pillow Top!  As soon as I laid down.....it was love at first touch!   I tried a few others....but I knew which one I wanted...and we were out of there within 20 minutes!  The mattress and box springs are getting delivered on Dec. 3rd!   I can't wait to sleep in it! 

Finally...we headed to Home Depot for ceiling fans..and just to look at knobs for our cabinets.   We left with 2 fans...one for our new room and one for the playroom....we also had a new pull for the playroom one!  :)

For our bedroom we went with a Hampton Bay Langston 60" in oil rubbed bronze! 

And in the playroom we went with a white one and the brand is escaping me right now!  Once it's up I will take some pictures!

And that was our Sunday Funday!   YAY!
