because it seemed as though everyone was working or out of town this weekend, i decided not to waste a perfectly good saturday that was just begging to be productive. the bathroom was the one room in our home that hadn’t yet been fixed up and this weekend i decided it was high time to change that. we originally skipped giving the bathroom a little fresh paint when we first moved in, mostly because we only had about a week to paint our new place from head to toe and by the time we reached the bathroom, camden and i never wanted to see another paintbrush again. the walls and ceiling were left a strange, patchy shade of a baby blue, which i painted white and let me just add, all by myself (camden fell into the working category). painting is never as easy, or neat for that matter, as i think it will be. it always takes me way longer than i expect, which made this tiny saturday project last into the next week … in fact, it is still going. so far i have: painted all the walls and ceiling, replaced the old mirror, changed out the light fixture, added a decorative accent wall, fixed up the vanity, and replaced the dingy hardware. – and yes … all by myself. i’m just waiting for a new shelf to arrive this week so we can finally have a place to set things, then only paint touchups and organizing will remain. below are a few photos of what i have completed thus far and a few things i’m planning to bring into the finished space. i’m hoping to have our bathroom completed as well as photos to show you by then end of this week, so stay tuned!

since we are surviving on about four hours of sleep today, due to the fact that camden and i both somehow caught a severe case of insomnia last night and stayed up hours past our bedtime, we took brunch a little easy this morning and ran to the only bakery we could find open on a sunday for some much needed weekend brunch essentials (talk about a run-on sentence why don’t ya!). besides the overwhelming need for a boost of caffeine (because we are both big believers in self medicating?), we both got different versions of croissants plus a little fresh fruit tart. – and seriously …. this was probably the best decision i’ve made all week, to get this almond stuffed, powdered sugar topped, light and crispy croissant i mean. i will be having dreams about this croissant. the kind of croissant that will have me mysteriously driving past this bakery a few times a week to make “just one more stop”. camden got one stuffed to the core with chocolate and i was so enthralled with mine i completely forgot to taste it. we of coarse watched lucy, then laid on the couch the rest of the morning stuffed to the brim with buttery pastries, slap happy on tiredness. you know, one of … those mornings …
