As you may recall, we’ve had a heck of a time finding a mirror for the half bath. This weekend we were determined to correct that issue, and finally have a mirror in the bathroom, and have it be 100% complete. We started our venture down at Ikea, having seen a silver mirror in their new catalog. Ikea on a saturday afternoon is quite the adventure if you have never been. There are a lot of people, in a very massive store, all over the place. It made shopping a bit hectic, almost getting run over by everyone’s shopping carts, but we survived. We walked the whole store looking for that mirror, only to find out they were sold out. We did, however, pick up some frames and a little shelf, which ended up in the half bath.


I took those photos long ago, and if you were paying very close attention, and have followed the first iteration of this blog over the past few years, you may recognize them. Turns out, they look really good with that wall color. Anyway, the mirror. So no luck at Ikea, or at Bed, Bath and Beyond, or at Home Goods or anywhere else…that is, until I checked Home Depot’s website again, just for fun. Wouldn’t you know it, they got a whole slew of new mirrors in! I checked to see if our store had any, and much to my surprise, they have about eight in stock. We took a chance, having little faith that they actually had them since none of our trips ever paid off, but much to our surprise, there it was. Finally, a brushed nickel mirror to go in our bathroom, and at a reasonable price of $70.

The mirror is up, the pictures are in and the bathroom is finally done. That means no more posts about updating this bathroom, this is the last one you’ll see. Hooray!

We just recently bought our first home, and we decided to share our story of our adventures with you. The ups and downs of home ownership, and all the fun we'll have in between. Ignore the typos and just have fun, that's what we're here for.
