it's finally happening...

...or at least I think it is {I hope it is}.

We're finally re-doing our master bath. I use the word "master" loosely, as it is about 50 square feet. I'll post the before's and after's later, but here's our inspiration:





And here's the "mood board":


Here's what we're getting:

* Euro vanity in Java by RSI - bought on Craigslist
* Light fixture in brushed nickel from Home Depot
* Mirror with brushed nickel mounts from Lowe's
* Brushed nickel faucet from HD
* Ikea Expedit shelving (we're still debating this one)
* Expedit baskets from Ikea
* Miscellaneous apothecary jars from flea markets, etc.
* Light bamboo vinyl plank flooring from HD - not sure this will work, but we're thinking about it
* Plush bath rug from Restoration Harware in white - which we will purchase with gift certificates that we got for our wedding {yes, it was 9 years ago - they'll still honor them...I checked}
* Walls are already painted Kilim Beige from Sherwin Williams

We're trying to do this project on the {relatively} cheap. Someday we'll do a full remodel where we knock down walls, add on to the house, etc. But for now I need a bathroom that doesn't gross me out. This should do the trick! :)
