Friday Ramblin'.....

I was up waayyy too early this morning!  3:15 I'm wide awake!  And I knew it wasn't one of those times that if I just lay there and close my eyes, I will just drift off back to sleep. So, I got up.  Having my coffee and computer time. 
After several attempts at taking some photos of things to put in my etsy shoppe, I decided to say forget it....I'm just going to take it to the mercantile. I just couldn't seem to get good clear photos.  I think I may close my etsy shop for awhile if not for good.  It's been sitting empty for awhile now and I just don't have  time for everything.  Every once in awhile ya just gotta stand back and look at the whole picture and ya realize somethings gotta give.

The bathroom redo is coming along slow but sure....I was really hoping to get it done this week since I had the time off, but there are little things that come up that delays the process by adding a little more work.  Ya know what I mean?  Once I got the walls stripped, I looked at the ceiling and realized it just couldn't be repaired so I may as well scrape that down and redo it as well.  Do that before I start painting the walls, right?  Then we notice the commode is really tilting to one side.  Weak spot in the floor.  So now looking at that minor repair and hoping that the commode won't need to be replaced as well.
Here are a couple of before photos.....

Wallpaper down, ceiling stripped, towel rings/bars off and holes filled....I changed out the light switches and power outlets yesterday.  The lighting fixtures will be taken out and updated...This vanity will be staying for now....it will just get a little facelift. 
So that's my work in progress....It's never taken me so long to redo just one room...two or three days, tops!
Today I'll be on the hunt for an inexpensive yet attractive lighting bar....one that will mount on the ceiling in the existing box.  Wish me luck!!
I hope you've had a great week.....and have a fantastic weekend!!!
