bathroom redo

Perhaps it doesn't seem like a big difference to you, but to me sitting at my computer knowing when I look over I'm not going to see a toilet and a busted wall staring back at me is worth all the effort. Ha! It wasn't even my effort so of course it was worth it. It was Adam's mother's day gift to me. Thanks babe.

I moved my cabinet of drawers that use to be next to my computer to where the toilet use to be and replaced the drawers in my studio with a small bookcase I bought at IKEA. The four blank 8x8 canvas you see on the wall will be my new project. I hope to get something inspiring on them this week, but realistically it will probably be weeks later.

I think it looks great! I can totally see how taking the toilet out would change everything for you. It's much more pleasant to look at, and you won't have anyone in there doing their business.

That must be great for you to have more space for storage and stuff. I can't wait to see what project emerges out of the little canvases. You always come up with such great stuff!

It does make a difference! It's beautiful and so nice to look at. It's a great mother's day gift! I love how you arrange the space; and I wonder what you will make with the four little canvases!

It looks great! It is really a fabulous plan to have a sink in your work room (especially one you don't have to look at).

The redo looks great - I am such a fan of black. The drawers fit in the toilet area perfect. It's a totally happy space!

Looking good! I like your idea of putting up the blank canvases - each time you pass by and they are still blank you will be motivated to complete them.

It looks awesome!
I know what you mean when you say that for other people it might not be a big difference...I just finished a lot of little projects around my house and I just feel so much better!
