As promised last week, here is the new master bathroom with it's mini makeover! New paint job, new towel rack hardware, new switch plates, and a new decor piece. This didn't get as much of a makeover as the bedroom, as I didn't get a new shower curtain or towels...
1. The quasi-in-laws are in town, which means last week's cleaning frenzy has been followed by lots of cooking, eating out, watching movies/TV, and checking out Austin things like Torchy's Tacos and the new aquarium - which is not great, but not terrible. It has lots...
I've been talking about painting rooms in the house for a few weeks now. I got sidelined for a little bit with my back being hurt, but this past week I finished up all of the little touches in the master suite. And today, I'm showing you our transformed master...

1. I started the Beginner Sewing Series at Stitch Lab on Friday. We went over the basics of our machines (which was useful as refresher since I hadn't touched my machine in awhile), and learned how to make a drawstring bag. The also introduced me to an oh-so-handy...
Sarah over at Yes & Yes (an awesome blog, by the way) did a post earlier this month about what she called her Cornerstone of Awesome. It's a sort of list of scary/amazing/hard things you've done in your life. It's not a brag list, but rather something you can refer to...
This past weekend was a good weekend. 🙂 I got to meet these lovely ladies at the Austin bloggers meetup on Saturday: Sarah, Beth, Jamie, Jenn, me, Shelley and Lani - and I promise we're not all evil, despite the glowing eyes. 🙂 I also went to see this movie with the...
