Goodbye College Boy's Bathroom

Right now, the hubbs and I rent a townhome in Dallas.  Since our place is a rental, there is not a lot of remodeling we can do.  Our place is pretty blah . . . and being on a limited budget right now due to saving for a house, not a lot about that is going to change anytime soon!  However, one thing changed today: no more college boy bathroom!  Last weekend, I informed Henry that our bathroom is a bachelor pad bathroom and we need to change that!  He laughed and said ok, but didn't know how exactly it was "bachelor padish."

I present exhibit A:

Notice the beautiful shower curtain . . .  All we have had as a shower curtain for the two months we have been in this place is this clear shower liner . . .   It feels so revealing.  Privacy please!  When we first moved into our place, we needed a shower curtain.  I didn't want to decide on bathroom decor right then and there, so we decided to purchase a cheap liner and then buy a curtain once we decided colors.  Well, the liner became our curtain.  For a boy this is fine.  For a girl, this just does not feel homey!  Next take a look at the bright red mats . . . does this bathroom ensemble not just scream college boy bathroom?  These were Henry's at his last apartment.  So, it was time for a change!

I headed to Target today and found a really cute curtain, grabbed a white bath mat and a beige hand towel to make it a little more homey.  I also added some mirrors to the wall that I already had.  I'd say operation make the bathroom less of a bachelor pad worked and for only around $40 it was definitely a success!  :)





and so it begins . . .

I have debated with myself over writing this blog many many times.  Now, I'm in a new city, with a new life, and a LOT of free time on my hands.  I have decided that this is the perfect time to start keeping track of my days through blogging.  My name is Kellyn and I love Jesus, married life, cooking, trying my hand at DIYer projects, and like any girly girl, makeup.  I'm a wife to Henry and a puppy mommy to Winston. The three of us recently moved from small town Louisiana to Dallas, TX (BIG change!)  Now, we are adjusting to city life, the hubby's new job, and I am working part time and enjoying being a happy homemaker.  This blog will help me keep track of the days that seem to totally whiz by!  Hope you enjoy my journey!
