Quick New Bathroom

Last year I was blessed with the opportunity of buying my great uncle's house. It was great to have a house to move into after getting married, that was already furnished. Being furnished was also a problem in that we got things for our wedding, but didn't have anywhere to put them until we cleaned out the old stuff. Let me just say it has been a long process, that is still going on.

The house was built in the 60's and has many interesting features. One of these is the pink bathroom. The tub is pink, the tiles around the tub are pink, the sinks are pink, the toilet is pink, and the floor has pink. It was way to much pink  for me, and my husband couldn't stand it. We needed a quick fix. It's amazing what a shower curtain, rugs and towels can do. We received the shower curtain and towels for our wedding, and bought the rugs with our bridal registry clearance.

It's amazing what just buying a few things can do to a bathroom.

Happy New Year!

Well it's the begining of a new year and a new decade. What better time than now to get my new blog started. I also decided that one of my New Years resolutions was to get my house organized and clean, and then keep it that way. I stumbled upon this website www.flylady.net and decided this was the perfect thing for me. Flylady focuses on creating habits one piece at a time. The first step on the first day was to shine my kitchen sink. By shining my sink it gives me something beautiful to see the first thing every morning. Not only do I have to shine it, but I have to keep it clean by wiping it with a dish towel after every use.

Try it! It's amazing how good it feels to have a clean sink, and to not have a pile of dishes making me feel guilt.
