Slow and Steady Wins the Race...Right!?

       So here's the update (or lack of one).  We've been pretty busy trying to get our current house ready to sell.  This has involved a lot of packing up, putting away, touching up paint, decorating and redecorating. I Pretty much have been making the house the way I've always wanted it in order to let someone else live in it.  What can I say, I've got a generous spirit.  This is what home sweet home has looked like over the past few weeks.

I like to call this look  shabby chic.

Organization waiting to happen.

Here is what I hope I the rest of the house will look like.

The reason this looks so clean is because everything that was in this room is now in my hallway.

This buffet is my latest Salvation Army project.  I wish I had taken a before picture.

Progress is being made on the new house. This is where the SLOW and STEADY part comes in.  Plumbing fixtures are being placed.  Here is the downstairs bath.

Eventually there will be a wall and then I hope to put tile on that wall.

This is the tile I hope to put on that wall.  I also hope to hang this shower curtain over the shower...but first there needs to be a shower.

I would like to buy the toilet in the middle for all of the bathrooms in the house.  The only problem is that it doesn't have the traditional flush handle on the side.  It has the buttons on the top.   Anyone have one of these?  How does it work for you?

    Here are some other random shots from my phone.   I think this is the bathtub fixture I bought for the master bath.  I have three pictures of shower fixtures in my phone, and this is the one I like the best, but I'm not 100% sure it's the one I bought. I guess I can always take the one I have back and buy this one if I didn't already.

Possible paint choices.  I think I'm leaning towards the strip in the middle, the second and third colors down.

 

I guess that completes the non progress report.  I've spent a lot of time getting nothing done.  This however is going to be the week of change.  I can feel it in my bones.  Can you?
